A female friend consulted me before. Her budget was less than 300,000. She liked the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and asked me if I could buy it. Judging from the guide price of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which starts at 307,800, it is definitely You can’t buy it, but now the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has reached the mid-to-late stage of the product, and the discounts are relatively large. Judging from the quotation on a professional car website, the discount is as high as 75,000 yuan, and the entry-level model can be purchased for 232,800 yuan. As a first-class car, For a popular B-class car from a luxury brand, the price is quite attractive. It seems that buying a Mercedes-Benz C-class with a budget of less than 300,000 is still achievable.

Although the discount is relatively large, a budget of less than 300,000 can only buy the entry-level model of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and it is still 1.5T. As for the configuration, as a luxury brand, the entry-level version of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class The performance is not bad. Let’s analyze with everyone whether this entry-level Mercedes-Benz C-Class is worth buying?

First of all, let’s look at the hardware configuration. The entry-level version of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is the C?200?L?Dynamic Sports Edition. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine + 48V mild hybrid system, and is matched with a 9-speed automatic manual. The gearbox has a maximum horsepower of 184Ps and a peak torque of 280N.m. The official acceleration time from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is 8.3 seconds. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s comprehensive fuel consumption is 6L. From a power point of view, although the 1.5T engine is a bit shabby when installed in a luxury brand B-class car, the data is not bad, and it is suitable for home use without any problems. It just depends on how you choose.

Second is the safety configuration. Although it is an entry-level model, the Mercedes-Benz C? 200? , front side airbags, front and rear head curtain airbags and knee airbags. The rear side airbags are optional at a price of 3,100 yuan. In addition, the entry-level Mercedes-Benz version is also equipped with tire pressure monitoring and zero tire pressure driving. In terms of active safety configuration, the entry-level Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes standard with an active braking system, which is quite generous.

Finally, there is the practical configuration, which is worthy of praise for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Although it is an entry-level model, the standard configuration of the entire series is still very rich. In terms of driving assistance, front and rear parking radar, reversing imaging, cruise control, driving mode switching, automatic parking, and automatic start and stop are all standard features. In terms of comfort configuration, the entry-level version of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class can almost reach the top level of ordinary joint venture brand models, such as sunroof, remote start, leather steering wheel, LCD instrument, suede seats, automatic LED headlights, dual-zone automatic air conditioning and other practical features. The configurations are all standard for the entire series. From a practical point of view, there is no need to buy the high-end configuration of the Mercedes-Benz C.

Achuan Car Review

In terms of discounts, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class can finally be considered cost-effective. The lowest price starting from 232,800 is basically the same as the price of an ordinary joint venture brand B-class car. On the same level, from the perspective of configuration, the entry-level Mercedes-Benz C-Class is already good enough. I finally understand why many consumers are unwilling to choose the high-end C-Class. If you don’t care about luxury cars equipped with 1.5T engines, then this entry-level version The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is still worth considering.
