The C-Class is offered in three main variants: the C 200 (petrol), C 220d (diesel), and the top-spec C 300d (diesel).

The C-Class comes with a choice of a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (C 200), a 2.0-litre mild-hybrid diesel (C 220d), and a more powerful 2.0-litre high-output mild-hybrid diesel (C 300d).

It not only floods the cabin with natural light, making it feel more spacious, but also gives passengers that open-air vibe without actually dropping the roof. Perfect for night drives under the stars or lazy Sunday cruises.

The C-Class interior is often described as a "mini S-Class." Key features include an 11.9-inch portrait-style touchscreen for the MBUX infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, and high-quality materials. Simply put, it feels luxurious and modern, giving you the same premium vibe as a bigger Mercedes but in a more compact, easy-to-handle package. Every touchpoint and button feels polished, so even daily drives feel special.

The C-Class has a strong safety rating and is equipped with 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). In simple terms, it’s like having a co-pilot watching out for you—helping prevent skids, keeping the car stable in tricky situations, and cushioning you from impacts, so you and your passengers stay as safe as possible on every drive.
