Mercedes C-Class review - pictures

By:Auto Express team
29 May 2018
  • Mercedes C-Class - front tracking

    The C-Class is Mercedes' latest compact executive taking aim at established rivals from BMW and Audi. 

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 front action

    The C-Class is available with plenty of engine choices. For those looking for that extra bit of power, there's an AMG 63 version available, too.

  • Mercedes C-Class - interior

    The C-Class has a better driving position than its predecessor, offering more room and better visibility. 

  • Mercedes C-Class - rear tracking

    Mercedes has made changes to the engines, increasing efficiency by up to 20%.

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 front tracking

    The exterior takes styling cues from the larger S-Class, and the C-Class' neat lines, sculpted sides and swept-back headlamps provide plenty of head-turning kerb appeal. 

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 rear action

    The Mercedes C-Class will also be available in hybrid versions.

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 light

    The 2.1-litre diesel engines in the C220 and C250 CDI are powerful and efficient, but can get a little noisy. 

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 badge

    Mercedes’ mighty C63 AMG is fitted with a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine with 469bhp, while S models produce 503bhp.

  • Mercedes C-Class - screen

    The interior of the C-Class has been influenced by Mercedes’ flagship luxury S-Class.

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 doorcard

    The C-Class is bigger than the previous model, so overall there is more cabin space.

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 dials

    Steering is quick and direct but lacks feedback and is inconsistently weighted.

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 buttons

    Quality in the C-Class is top-notch.

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 console

    The optional seven-speed automatic transmission is unresponsive and holds onto gears for too long before changing.

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 rear seats

    Rear seating in the Mercedes C-Class offers a similar amount of leg and headroom as its rivals.

  • Mercedes C-Class 2014 boot

    The boot capacity is 480-litres, the same as the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series.
