2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, W206 C200 and C300 review - from RM288k in Malaysia

[@romankubanyi7852]

I have seen more than 30 reviews of w206 from various countries and presenters while waiting for my w206 to be delivered (ex w205 owner) and I have to say that this one was by far the best in all regards - delivery, balance, technical details, camera, vocabulary, honesty. Utmost respect to you sir!

[@xiper86]

Good review and coverage! Just sharing my own story, two months ago i almost wanted to place booking for the C200 until I checked the car out, the amount of hard plastics just turned off the deal. If not wrong, 60% of the door panel are in hard plastic, the scratchy and cheap type.

[@heanluen]

which car you went for eventually?

[@xiper86]

@@heanluen waiting for both CX-30 or XC40 whichever earlier, as of now seems to be CX-30 coming sooner.

[@thecompressor9595]

BMW 3 Series is better in almost aspects and also cheaper than C Class. Despite 3 Series comes with better quality but C Class come with so many plastics

[@jemmygho5900]

Still a merc guys

[@Cjunal]

been following you since my college time around 2014-2015 where i dreamt of owning a C class when u introduced the W205. Finally i'm able to own W206 now !

[@thepowertools]

Congratulations man. Enjoy your ride

[@shahirfirdaus4168]

How much you pay per month?

[@collinsjames4846]

Been following you since i was in highschool, hafriz shah. Your pronunciation of malaysia is solidly correct eversince.

[@soulside454]

What makes this review great is that Hafriz is actually a Mercedes Benz owner, and has lived with a C class for years. Hafriz is so damn good at his job. Keep it up!

[@royalprince5878]

Hafriz is one of the best reviewers for Paultan. I completely agree with most of what he said for C Class. He should have also reviewed Arteon unlike the other guy who I find was being biased against it in spite of claiming to not be.

[@parimathev6916]

agreed

[@jdfd4906]

Pure cars unlike evomalaysia which sells so much snake oil.

[@Leszlig]

Test drove it and was absolutely disappointed. Quality has plummeted as a whole from the W205 and the drive is barely engaging. The middle screen is pretty low-res too and that really shows when you turn on Apple CarPlay- an absolutely pixelated mess. I truly have no idea how Mercedes could approve this car for mass-production. Only thing that has improved is the ride comfort I must add, albeit road noise is still a problem. Not worth the upgrade, probably waiting for the G20 facelift at this rate.

[@Ramzes945]

Awesome review. I haven't seen someone mentioning about foot rest so far. Thanks for that!

[@F48l4N99]

Knowing Mercedes Malaysia, they are probably saving the digital headlights for the model they always release awhile after the early models are done. Like how the w213 e350/e300 got more stuff than the early released e200 & e250.

[@jdfd4906]

Becoz the initial models were fully imported from Deutschland unlike the later ones buatan Malaysia. Gotta pay for the original Mercedes craftsmanship.

[@muhamadrosly4058]

Like mine. Fully imported CBU.

[@douglasyong6939]

Hanging on to my w205 c250 9g, fancier headlights, car aromatherapy system, nasi campur dish, etc. Enjoy your review

[@albertKFC]

Totally agree with the last bit where you talked about the full-fledged safety features. Very very well said Hafriz. B&M really need to think about that.

[@itisyouthatiadore]

Dont you think the mask is a little bit overkill outdoor?

[@All41-369]

My first question too, 1 second into the view

[@kimboy98]

Mercedes took inspiration from kedai tomyam

[@iqbalayub]

Finally, W206 look gorgeous, the car's rim look nice now from previous star Amg rims.

[@farhanjaafar2434]

Very good review Hafriz, all the important details covered 👍

[@royalprince5878]

Man, interested in W206. Glad to know that ride comfort is back to C Class. W205 it was completely murdered

[@StephenGibbons-z1u]

I have got to say this was a fantastic introduction from you.

[@Wangli1118]

the ISG battery only lasts 30 seconds engine IDLE when stopping if you are turning on A/C, strong vibration when the engine starts again. the feeling is not good----Singapore w206 c180

[@aries89ric]

Agreed with the vibration. Felt it too strong to go unnoticeable even at idle.

[@phk1959]

Why do the 2 mb have different front grill?

[@yapheful]

Can't believe even Vios/City can have 360 camera but Mercedes don't unless you pay much more!

[@shamsulamri]

@30:09 Notice that lovely XC60 ❤ with full load of safety features…

[@sallehasamad9543]

It’s a well known fact that run flat tyres are hard and uncomfortable.

[@muhamadrosly4058]

But you can save your day by driving it to the workshop when it's punctured. Being there... done that

[@VastusShire]

Hopefully one day I will get to buy my own c200🙏🏻

[@SamsungSamsung-ut9sf]

I love this guys presentation style

[@jeremykong64]

What's your thought on C300 vs the 530e. Prices almost same.. cheers

[@yeehooigan7147]

Want to hear more of the performance of c200 power train ☺️

[@sKid-qh7tm]

Nice shirt bro. What brand is it & where to buy? Tq

[@tough931]

I thought Mr AMG from RBR would showed up

[@flushback]

lol love the unnecessary effect during intro

[@rayyoung9934]

The interior, exterior and specs of C200 looks even better than e200

[@muhamadrosly4058]

Wait for the all new W214...

[@Botsy-Collins]

Talking about E Class. This new C Class is almost similar in size to the 2002 E Class.

[@mohdhilmyabdisa]

Thanks for the review. Looks like I have to hold on to my FL 300 for longer until all the upgrades are done to the 206 to make it worthy of an upgrade.

[@Tien-Dat93]

some reviewer said that the w206 is more comfortable and less sporty in term of handling. w206 is new/fresh for luxury, but the w205 is still better handling?

[@muhamadrosly4058]

Nice red colour. But the upholstery looked kind of weird. Sorry. I would prefer the 1 tone colour for the seat upholstery. Like my W213. But the comfortness, I would say its not like people would expect from a stuttgart dude.

[@canopyfields]

The C200 is what color?

[@simranpreetsingh6294]

Hello mate, I want to buy Mercedes, but I am a bit confused about C200 and C300, which is good?

[@MonsieurGuy]

Go for C300, more bells & whistles and much punchier engine. Alternatively, a W205 C300 (facelift) from the previous gen is a good shout too. Avoid the 2018 - 2019 models though as they came with Airmatic (air suspension) on all 4 corners and will be a headache when it eventually fails. MBM replaced the air suspension to the regular passive sports suspension in 2020. Test drive, and go for the one that you love within your budget

[@lawrenceyew]

Hafriz is a super saiyan!? *insert it's over 9000 meme*

[@zxlrxsyxd]

330i's speakers & interior build quality way better. bmw also has had live traffic updates + wireless carplay for a long time. dunno why some had to pay tho mine came with android auto & apple carplay for free. also if its rlly a "big step forward" in terms of performance why is it slower than the previous C300 lol. bmw's B48 still has better low end torque in a wider band than merc's M254, its not just the ZF8 speed. also no mention why the C300 is 205 kilos heavier than a 330i? lmao. still prefer 330i's design, interior and handling. also surprised how you had zero complains for the crap touch sensitive buttons on the steering tbh. good old buttons for the steering & climate control in a G20. biased review at its finest. no surprises there coming from a C205 owner

[@royalprince5878]

Although W206 C300 has way higher horsepower and torque than W205 one, the 0-100 is slower by just 0.1s is kinda ridiculous but actual reason is because it weighs 1675 kg roughly. Heavier by 200 over kg then predecessor. Looks like less aluminium and more steel, more solid and hefty. Nice

[@imanazharr2884]

crap touch? ever touch it? use it?? no? shut up...

[@kenshin252]

I've test driven the C300 and actually made a booking when it was launched back in Feb. Whilst the interior looks very progressive, I personally found it less practical and not something that will sustain itself (esp. 90% of the time one has to rely on the centre ipad to navigate stuffs). I eventually decided to give this up for now (maybe will consider the future facelift model) and instead, added extra 30k and went for M340i. Whilst its a 2 yr old model and can look a little dated, but the interior is definitely of better quality (premium too), aside from the performance aspect and other premium fixes that comes with it. That aside, i somehow felt this C class has lost the premium exec saloon feel, compared to the W205. Still a good car, but just doesn't really meet the mark IMO.

[@cks1516]

Does it come with welcome animation from the headlamp?

[@azlio1988]

Suddenly appear in this middle.. 😂 Why still using face mask... 😌

[@guhapooinpatarsan2853]

Excellent Presentation Hafriz Shah Sir!

[@aravindradhakrishna8660]

Hey Hafriz, are you sure there's no ACC for the C300? I was at the Hap Seng Star showroom at the end of June recently and the salesperson mentioned that ACC is present on the 300 (C300, E300, etc.) variant and above. And regarding AEB on 3 series, wasn't it added in the beginning of 2020, not last year?

[@heanluen]

I remember no ACC for C300. I might be wrong.

[@sp15419]

The price is already a big downside as compared to the 3 series... Exterior wise I think it became more uncle but there's a huge improvement in terms of the interior as compared to the 3 series and in my opinion it's better too...

[@aircommandslipperz]

wait for the ckd version should be cheaper

[@jdfd4906]

Chio leh!

[@shahirfirdaus4168]

Why the price like that one? 😭😭

[@celineng3855]

the Mercedes staff told that for Malaysia have to wait next year january only can get C 200 W206, is it true? but how do you get it so fast?wow

[@Cjunal]

CBU display lol

[@aleesha6610]

True

[@itsravt]

any idea on the upcoming ckd spec?

[@emilyng5592]

Took my w206 for service the other day . No news on ckd yet and the waiting list is long according to my SA

[@itsravt]

@@emilyng5592 gratz on ur new car. any issues need addressing on the 1st service?

[@botakzhai]

Solid review

[@sesatin2dawell]

Quite silly to put everything on the screen.. What if it cracked you can't even turn on the AC. Also kinda hard to press anything when the car is moving cause there's nothing to grab on too

[@phas3rrr]

Aircond button has to be physical, im not liking all modern cars ac touch button. Or at least put it as another option or spare rather than remove completely At least a cla gla has the button still

[@azizwahid8443]

One day...one day...

[@2020aliworld]

Agreed

[@artsyhyd]

My only question is what if the screen is not working anymore, how much would we have to pay to have it fix or to replace it??

[@phas3rrr]

Just buy an ipad and put there

[@Allanhyde264]

A much cheaper build quality than BMW. The steering wheel for the Merc is gorgeous but other than that, it is a plastic pig

[@sathiyananthanvalautham999]

Great content

[@CH-xe2bf]

C200 grille looks a bit like air cond compressor to me.......

[@vasil7410]

I note the mask. Do Mercedes Benz cars spread Covid?

[@petemorbius3936]

gd review

[@tahshalbar]

It's seem you're too negative in reviewing a new car.. instead compliments the car..

[@kongmj9537]

better get ES 250 F Sport with this price range

[@theenishkumar3]

Nice

[@spffrenz]

Look like jLow

[@thecompressor9595]

BMW 3 Series/Volvo S60 better than Mercedes C Class

[@magudi-cinema]

the previous generation was much better... look ugly.... haizzzzz

[@KHSYMN]

Interior look cheap!! OMG

[@tikarbuluh1506]

audi A4 more confot... cikit atas

[@winterharmony-cc1cc]

Terrible color choice for the review, dark and red cannot bring the light design out, try brighter color and it will look like a different car

[@konsen6149]

With the Malaysian highways always jammed, who wants to buy a cramp compact Sedan like this C class with no space to run. Better we enjoy buying The SUV version or other SUVs with better panaromic view, comfort and moreover spacious . We arrive safely .

[@ijamlaa6973]

👍🏻

[@raymond3377]

U r merc owner offcourse you’re more bias to your own brand compare to G20

Yeahh..c classes good for short and fat guys 😝🤭
