CarTell take
We haven't driven the C-Class yet. On paper, option packs add up quickly. Real driveaway prices climb fast once you tick the AMG Line, premium audio, and Driving Assistance Package boxes.
Why consider it
- Every grade is electrified, from 48V mild hybrid up to a V8 rivalling PHEV.
- The C 300e covers 117 km of EV WLTP range, clearing most daily commutes on electricity alone.
What to know
- C 63 swap from V8 to four cylinder PHEV polarises traditional AMG buyers.
- Portrait MBUX screen relies on touch for most controls, with fewer hard buttons than rivals.
Who it suits
Executives and brand buyers who want a mid size luxury sedan with electrification across every grade. C 300 is the value sweet spot, C 300e the choice if you can charge at home.
