After the Toyota Camry, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class had long been Australia's favourite medium-sized sedan - until the latest BMW 3 Series and Tesla Model 3 came along.
Now the latest, sixth-generation model strikes back, with an all-new design and architecture with more than a bit of Mercedes S-Class limousine influence, to return the C-Class back up to the top of its segment. And, you know what? It's mighty impressive, and a compelling reason not to buy an SUV.
But with a limited model offering this time around - two petrol engines, and only a sedan body style; meaning no diesel, no wagon! - is the new Mercedes C-Class a luxury car you should consider?
And if it is, should you choose the 1.5L mild-hybrid C200, or shell out the extra cash for the beefier 2.0L mild-hybrid C300?

$80k-90k plus on the road for entry level Benz is absolutely crazy.

That’s a real car. Have a 2011 C300 AWD with only 111k miles - bulletproof and absolutely troublefree. I take all factory fluid change recommendations and essentially cut them in half. Grease is cheaper than steel. My 2015 E Bluetec is the last diesel MB car imported to the USA. Great mileage, had the recall updates to the DEF/EGR system, extended warranty, and settlement $ received from the class action suit. So, I’ll drive it until I get sick of it.

Great review Byron! I did love my diesel! Shame their not making it anymore, was a great engine! Very interesting fuel consumption with the hybrid tech! Especially 200 vs 300!

The diesel variants apparently weren't dropped due to overly low sales. MB & a number of other brands were required to rationalise their entire fleets & reduce variants & model complexity locally . I personally still prefer a diesel vehicle & losing several brands & diesel variants here does reduce choice. Diesel variants of the C Class are still available OS, Just not in Australia. But it still maybe possible to order a 2022 C220d as a special import thru MB Aust. The diesels though no longer available here are exceptionally efficient logging the low 4's to early 5's 100km in WLTP tests

They were dropped due to complex emissions requirements making them way too taxing to maintain for durability and simplicity of maintenance. If I were to buy a diesel replacement I’d get a Honda Accord Hybrid. It is essentially a gas/electric drive when out of battery mode auto version of a diesel/electric rail locomotive.

@@us1fedvet I checked with MB Aust & like many brands here brand rationalisation was part of reducing model complexity here. Though diesels are on the nose literally, the diesels variants of the C /E /S Class variants along with GLC, GLE, GLS were still ok here sales wise not huge but ok . Hyundai Aust told me the same info . Hybrids are great in urban running but not necessarily so running over 4000km from Sydney to Perth.

@@Coastmac2001 fully concur and appreciate your comments. I have owned three diesel autos dating back to 1979 - 79 VW Dasher that remains one of my favorite cars, averaged over 50 mpg, a 07 MB E320 that was called Bluetec but did not use DEF, and the current ride. I love that I can easily cover 800 miles on a 21 gallon tank at 75 mph cruise speed. Try that with a battery operated golf cart.

So for over $90000 you get a car which has rattles in the cabin, is noisy on the road and which lacks the full suite of safety gear. No thanks!
