2025 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Model Review with Prices, Photos, & Specs

About the Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Generations of Mercedes-Benz buyers have chosen the C-Class for its attractive styling, luxurious interior, and dynamic, engaging performance. The legendary Mercedes-Benz C-Class takes everything you loved about the previous model and improved on it. The modern, yet traditional styling, attractive wheel designs, and signature LED headlamps grab your attention before you even get inside. The comfortable interior is wrapped in quality materials and packed full of technology. Enjoy all your favorite smartphone functions with standard wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto integration included with the revolutionary MBUX infotainment system. Under the hood, you’ll find a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that’s more powerful – and more efficient – than ever before. That engine is backed up by a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission that never sacrifices shifting performance for smoothness – or vice-versa. In the small luxury sedan segment, many imitators try unsuccessfully to match the excellence represented by the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

What the Critics Say

Our test car had the benefit of the optional AMG® Line sport package, which adds a sport suspension, upgraded brakes and tunes the steering for a more direct and quick response, among other things. All three make this standard C-Class’ driving dynamics feel sharp. We are truly impressed with how the C 300 comports itself through turns and how effortless it is to guide it where you want to go.” – Edmunds

When we said the C-Class reminded us of the flagship S-Class, we paid it a high compliment. Last year’s redesign brought the C-Class up to par with its (excellent) competition.The interior is a highlight. Attention to detail is immaculate, and the materials feel universally premium. The display is large and sharp, and the software is easy to use.” – MotorTrend

What’s New for 2025

Only minor changes have been made to the iconic Mercedes-Benz C-Class for the 2025 model year. New standard features of the C-Class include a third-generation MBUX infotainment system, a center airbag between front seats, and a 5G communications module. Shoppers can now opt for available Black Nappa leather and Sienna Brown Nappa leather upholstery along with a new MANUFAKTUR Alpine Grey exterior color. Lastly, a new MB-Tex steering wheel for the animal-free interior is now listed on the option list.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Features

Elegant Styling and Proven Performance

Its alluring exterior design is only one of the many reasons why the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has remained the best-selling nameplate in its class. Every C-Class receives standard chrome-plated trim while the optional AMG®-line package adds sporty touches that lend the C-Class a high-performance look and feel. Complementing its sophisticated styling, LED headlamps and taillamps are included as standard to offer clear, natural illumination during dark conditions. You’ll have your choice of several colors and unique wheel options to help your C-Class reflect your own personal tastes.

Beneath the hood of the C-Class Sedan lies a powerful yet efficient 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo engine producing 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. A 48-volt EQ Boost system is capable of adding up to 20 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque when you need it most. A standard 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission offers smooth shifting that’s quick and precise, and available 4MATIC® all-wheel drive gives you the traction you need for slippery road conditions.

Technology & Driver Assistance

Optional driver-assist technologies on the C-Class help take the stress out of driving, changing lanes with the touch of your finger, and knowing when to slow down for an exit or tollbooth. A collection of sensors helps scan for danger ahead, even when it’s coming at you from behind. Thanks to MBUX, you’re able to access services such as Remote Start, Lock/Unlock, and Vehicle Monitoring, view your vehicle status right from your phone, and schedule service at a moment’s notice.

Standard wireless charging lets you charge up as you drive all without the need to deal with cables or adapters. A responsive 11.9-inch MBUX vertically-oriented center infotainment display handles your media, navigation, and other tasks, while a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster keeps you up to date on what your car is doing at all times. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto smartphone integration allows you to access your favorite media and apps inside the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
