Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Mercedes-Benz C 200 AMG Line

Our pick: Mercedes-Benz C 200 Avantgarde from S$293,888 with COE (May 2022)
Read our review of the Mercedes-Benz C 200 here

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is now with us, and it marks a massive leap forwards in maturity. The car brings with it major improvements in luxury and tech, with the car feeling like a mini S-Class almost.

Unfortunately, sky high COE premiums means that the C-Class now retails for prices that could buy you an E-Class in days gone by. The C 200 model, for instance, is now going for nearly S$300,000 with COE, an eye-popping figure for what is the essentially the brand’s entry luxury sedan.

Mercedes-Benz C 180 Avantgarde

If you can afford it though, that is the one to go for in our opinion. While the base C 180 does come in significantly cheaper, with prices starting at S$261,888 with COE for the Avantgarde trim, we reckon that the C 200 is worth the extra outlay, if only because of what you’re getting for the money.

The C 180 and C 200 share the same 1.5-litre turbo four-pot engine, but the latter naturally has more power and oomph. Output stands at 170hp and 250Nm of torque for the C 180, and 204hp and 300Nm of torque for the C200, and both cars come with mild hybrid tech for enhanced efficiency. It also helps aid with acceleration too, and with the mild hybrid assistance the car does feel rather sprightly off the line, in the C 200 at least.

Driving-wise, the C-Class probably isn’t quite as dynamic and engaging as, say, the BMW 3 Series, but the C 200 does come with four-wheel-steering (the C 180 does not), which aids agility in the corners. Refinement and comfort is generally acceptable, although the more expensive AMG Line trim pictured here does come with bigger wheels that results in a slightly choppier ride. If that’s not your cup of tea, you might want to consider saving your money and going for the cheaper Avantgarde trim.

The interior of the new C-Class is where things have stepped up significantly. The vertical-set 11.9-inch touchscreen takes pride of place in the centre console, and incorporates the latest MBUX 2.0 infotainment system. It looks particularly stunning as compared to its rivals, and definitely give the cabin a very premium and upmarket feel, which should please many customers.

Expensive as it may be, the C-Class does feel, on some levels, like a car that comes from a much higher price bracket. And that might just be enough to tip people towards the Merc, given that most Singaporean car buyers value the sensation of owning a car that feels like it’s worth the money.
