What’s the DIFFERENCE between Mercedes-Benz SE, Sport & AMG Line on the C-Class 2018 model?

[@DJLioness]

Thank you for this. I chose the Sport - I was opting for the SE until I realised that it didn’t come with Apple CarPlay as an option. Great video 👍

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome Roar Grime! 🤓

[@viviensomogyi5088]

You can update it. I have mercedes c class c200 se (2019) and I went to a mercedes specialist garage and he added one code it was costed me £70 and have apple car play and android auto ✨ hope it helps to someone!

[@johnnicolson467]

I chose the SE premium plus better suspension, 17 inch wheels proper pedals (not the slippy ones)

[@martiningram2373]

Love it. Lots of information that is explained in a professional way without too much jargon (if any). Better than the Clarkson wannabes on Carwow.

[@npoleary]

Thanks Martin! Means a lot! Already decided on next week’s video! Keep your eyes peeled 👀

[@abdullahihussaini416]

Ok

[@petertaylor8170]

Bought a C class 220d Sport in September and after seeing this video decided to see if the LED headlights perform as described. I drove in full darkness with main beam on for a couple of miles and not a single car coming towards me flashed me, (I was at all times ready to turn them down if anyone took exception). As the man says "seriously cool tech" Also mine although a Sport does have 18" wheels fitted ! Love the car and Love the videos.

[@npoleary]

Haha it really is! To be honest, the only time I’ve seen where you will probably need to turn it off is on a straight motorway that stretches well beyond several miles. The light sensor may not detect an oncoming car in that scenario just because they are so far away but having said that, in almost all other scenarios, it’s really clever!

[@robertconnors2343]

Good video, I currently have the older generation c250d amg line and its brilliant, have also owned the sport trim, but even though the ride is better in the sport, you cant beat the look of the amg line

[@npoleary]

Hi Robert, Thanks for watching! Yes the sport ride is so smooth but you can't beat the AMG Line looks! 👌🏼

[@pauldavies9420]

I also have a C250 AMG Sport Plus and love it!!

[@55johnno]

The steering wheels without the flat bottom are out of round so still have the same effect, just don’t have the more fashionable flat at the bottom.

[@priyeshmistry8147]

great video but you did not talk about 2 things which are important to me because I have a slight difficulty getting in and out of the car. 1) is the AMG Line lower than the Sport? (2) are the bucket seats in the AMG line deeper than the Sport or the SE?

[@npoleary]

Ah bucket seats are only found in Mercedes-AMG models (the ones with powerful engines / the performance side of Mercedes). Seats should be exactly the same (some models may have slightly different stitching) For the height different, double check on the model but on this year of C-Class it is lower by 15mm so not that much. It’s very subtle 👍🏼

[@stephencross1237]

Great video with some really helpful info in there! Thanks dude!

[@npoleary]

Glad you liked it Stephen! 🤓

[@beyersalvador]

Great video and information. By the way, halogen lights on a 2020 Mercedes C-Class? Why keep doing that?

[@npoleary]

Hi Salvador, Across the range Mercedes-Benz halogen headlights are usually only found on the base / entry models or SE in this case. Why in 2020 though? I don’t have a direct answer but at a guess, I’d say it’s probably a cost saving measure that is passed onto the consumer to keep the price competitive. On top of this Mercedes-Benz do sell cars to in bulk to small & large businesses and sometimes they don’t mind having an entry level model to save on cost. If it were me though, AMG Line all the way and probably with the fancy Multibeam LED’s! 🤓

[@luckdingwong2196]

Almost no excuse why ... And keyless entry is optional as well .. a 10k Kia is standard.

[@luckdingwong2196]

And the speaker's they put in the C class are rubbish as well. Nothing the best or nothing here

[@mrbeeman7]

I’m looking for the same video for E-class thanks for videos 👍

[@npoleary]

Hi Comments, The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class is just around the corner so I was going to wait till then but to be honest, the differences between SE, Sport & AMG Line are extremely similar to other models that have it like the A-Class and E-Class. It just makes them look a little bit more sportier with body styling, larger wheels and usually sportier seats.

[@SP-quark]

Hi Nick , great information. Quick question Not sure if you mentioned what type of lights are fitted to the AMG version and secondly is the C class 200 does the AMG have x9 speed transmission. TBH im easily confused but Mercedes have lots of Trim level such as Nightlight , Premium plus and i never know which trim belongs to the different C class models 😂

[@npoleary]

Hey S P, it depends on the car 🤓 You’ll have to check the year of car and the spec. Handily I do have archived brochures here: npo-media.co.uk/mercedes-ebrochures Extremely handy to reference cars that older than a year old. Manual transmissions and auto transmissions would have been available, also depends on the whether the car has premium / premium plus (these are specs / gadgets for the car)

[@SP-quark]

@@npoleary much appreciated 👍

[@nabaraauto]

Hi. How about the power and performance? Are there any differences?

[@npoleary]

Thanks for watching my first ever video! 🙏 Not between SE, Sport & AMG Line, that’s just Trims. The numbers on Mercedes are the engine models, like C 200, C 220d etc Chat with your local Mercedes and they can help 🤓

[@KingClipKing]

Nick - I have an AMG line with18s on them. Can you advise on whether or not 19s are better on the AMG line? - just a bit of a wider profile rear i would prefer.

[@npoleary]

Hey ale muno, really sorry I’ve not ever modified a car before (which would include changing wheels). Some car’s suspensions are set up for that though so I’d honestly seek some advice if you were going to do it. I’m sure that your local Mercedes could probably supply wheels and advise if it would work but I don’t think they’d be able to fit them as they’re only allowed to sell cars as they’re described on their spec sheets.

[@surreallife777]

One thing I am not sure about is can you buy a C class (2015 to 2017) Mercedes that is not an AMG but looks exactly like an AMG with the premium package and can you save money by doing this as compared to buying the C43 AMG? I saw a 2017 C class Mercedes convertible C250, 2.1 D with the premium package and it looked identical to the AMG car but as far as I understand this was not an AMG. Is this correct?

[@npoleary]

It’ll probably be just AMG Line, that has some elements of AMG styling but without the high performance engine and stiffer suspension

[@sammyupload6245]

I go for the AMG because of the steering

[@npoleary]

Good choice! 👍🏼

[@caafiaxmed]

Hi, would you say E class 'se premium' with panoramic sunroof package is superior to E class amg line, both same year(2018) but amg line is more expensive even thou its basic

[@npoleary]

Hey Ahmed, it depends on what you want in terms of specification 🤓 Sounds like in this example the SE has more gadgets like the sunroof and the Premium Package but then the AMG Line will have a more sportier bodystyling. Depends if you wanted the extra gadgets on the inside vs having larger wheels and a more sporty shape on the outside 👍🏼

[@1066pole]

Hi Nick we have the 2013 AMG line would the diamond grille fit ours ....Thanks for all your videos

[@npoleary]

Hi Alan, thank you! Glad you like the videos! I have seen some people do this before but it’s not something I can advise on having not done it myself. Some models have sensors and radars on the front bumper so just go a tad careful if you do.

Nick, see the diamond grill found on the AMG, how comes some cars get the straight bars on the grill instead?

Hi Nick, does the 2013 C250. AMG Sport Plus come with the 64 LED lights on the intelligent lighting system. The ones that put the shadow effect on the back of the car in front of you?.

[@npoleary]

Hey Paul, sadly no it wasn’t really measured in terms of the LED’s numbers back then. Some models do dip the full beam and can move as you turn the steering wheel but the shadow cast on cars in front first appeared in CLS (I think in 2014) but the ones with 84 LED’s appeared in E-Class in 2016. The new S-Class has over a million pixels 🤯 they must be super bright! But even still Intelligent Light Systems found on Mercedes are all really good. I was blown away when I first saw it in a C-Class as it really does make night look like day with how bright they are!

What is the difference between high led performance and multi beam?

[@npoleary]

High Performance LED’s are standard white LED lights (very bright I must add even for standard ones) MULTIBEAM LED’s are 84 LED’s in each headlight that can adapt to the road ahead. So when you have full beam on, it will dip automatically but keep full beam on everywhere but the car coming toward you. This means you have as much visibility on the road without blinding other road users.
