Your Mercedes C-Class questions answered

There are four different versions of the C-Class. The range starts with the traditional C-Class four-door saloon, which is joined by the slightly more practical five-door C-Class estate. If you fancy something a little sportier, Mercedes also offers the C-Class as a two-door coupe or a two-door convertible with a folding fabric soft-top roof.

The C-Class saloon measures in at a shade under 4.7 metres long, which is about average for its class. It’s a few millimetres shorter than rivals including the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Volvo S60, and fractionally longer than the Alfa Romeo Giulia. That size means it won’t squeeze into the tightest of urban parking spaces, but it’s still compact enough that it won’t feel unwieldy when driving in the city.

Practicality in the C-Class is decent, with good space for passengers in the saloon and estate versions. Passenger space in the coupe and convertible models isn’t quite as generous thanks to the sloped roof and two-door layout, but there’s still enough room for four adults for shorter journeys. Boot space is about average for the class but the opening is slightly compromised by the shape of the brake lights and hybrid models trade some of that boot space for a larger battery.

All C-Class engines are smooth and turbocharged, and all have enough power that the car doesn’t feel lazy on the move. You also benefit from Mercedes’ ultra-smooth automatic gearboxes, which are standard across the range and suit the car’s cruiser attitude.

Yes, the majority of C-Classes are rear-wheel drive. The high-performance AMG C43 and C63 versions have Mercedes’ 4Matic four-wheel-drive system to handle the large power outputs.

Most C-Class cars will be reliable, although the long list of impressive tech on board can create issues. If you’re concerned, consider purchasing an extended warranty when you buy your car.

All latest-generation C-Class models have a towing capacity of 1,800kg, so are capable of towing a small or medium-sized caravan.

After three years and 36,000 miles, the C-Class is expected to retain 48-53% of its initial value, depending on the exact model and specification. That’s almost identical to what you can expect to retain on a BMW 3 Series.

Yes, all Mercedes C-Class cars from 2008 onwards have Isofix points on the outer rear seats with top tether securing loops accessible from the boot.

On recent C-Class models, a panoramic sunroof has been included on top-of-the-range trim levels – you’ll need to look for Sport Premium Plus or AMG Line Premium Plus cars to get one.
