Trending Questions on Mercedes-Benz C-Class - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Mazdaon Jan 8, 2026

I currently own a Hyundai Verna 1.5 Turbo DCT and am looking to upgrade to an executive sedan. My options include the Toyota Camry Hybrid, Audi A4, BMW 330Li, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. My usage is around 70% city driving, with an annual running of 10,000 to 15,000km. Please suggest the best option.

Out of the cars you've mentioned, the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Audi A4 are similarly priced in the mid-50 lakh, while the Mercedes C-Class and BMW 330Li are priced north of Rs 65 lakhs, which creates a huge delta in terms of pricing.
For mostly city usage, the Camry hybrid is a brilliant option. It offers a plush cabin, ride quality is extremely comfy, and being a hybrid, it will be very fuel-efficient. Its backseat feels the comfiest of the cars you've listed, too. And even though it drives well and has plenty of power on demand, the e-CVT can sound a bit strained when driven aggressively.
For similar money as a Camry (or even less after discounts), the Audi A4 gets an outstanding 2.0-litre turbo-petrol + dual-clutch automatic combination which delivers plenty of performance. Moreover, the cabin quality and overall fit-finish are a few notches above the Toyota, and its ride quality feels plush. However, its back seat isn't as comfy as the Camry, so if you are going to be regularly seated at the back, opt for the Camry hybrid instead.
Between the BMW 3-series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the BMW is more rounded. It feels nicer to drive and be driven in; cabin space is better, backseat is comfier; and its 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivers stronger performance than the C200, which gets a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol.

Asked by: Sunil Unikkaton Dec 31, 2025

Which one would you suggest between the BMW 330Li, Mercedes-Benz C300 and Audi A6? I want a performance-oriented and fun-to-drive car. Rear seat space is not a priority as the car will not be chauffeur-driven, though the family will sit behind on highway drives. I am not considering the M340i due to its lack of practicality. Based on test drives, 330Li is preferred currently. Please advise.

The BMW 330Li offers a good balance between ride comfort and handling, and its 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine delivers good performance.
That said, the Mercedes C300 is great to drive, and on account of a more opulent interior, it feels a bit more special. The backseat isn't nearly as comfortable as the 330Li, and it is much more expensive than the BMW car, but if these two reasons aren't deal-breakers for you, then get the C300 - it feels sporty to drive without sacrificing the comfort you'd expect from a Mercedes-Benz car.

Asked by: Nirav Adesaraon Dec 30, 2025

I want to buy a new car with a budget of ₹62 to 63 lakh. I am confused between the BMW 3 Series LWB and the Mercedes-Benz C 220d. My monthly running will be around 700-800km, mostly on highways.

Both are excellent choices, and the decision comes down to your preference. The Mercedes-Benz C 220d has a more upmarket feeling and techie cabin, with a more advanced infotainment system that is easier to use. It's also quite a sharp handling sedan if you enjoy driving yourself.
However, the BMW 3 Series LWB is also excellent to drive, and its longer wheelbase doesn't affect the dynamics all that much. Moreover, it is far superior in the back seat, thanks to that longer wheelbase, and so if you are chauffeur-driven, it is definitely the better choice.

Asked by: Anirudhon Dec 29, 2025

Should I buy the Mercedes C300? Backseat space is not an issue for me, and my main concern is performance.

The backseat of a C-class is its weak point, but since that is not an issue for you, you can go right ahead and buy the Mercedes C300, especially since performance is your main criterion. 

The 2-litre turbo-petrol produces a meaty 258hp and can rocket to 100kph from a standstill in around 6 seconds. You will enjoy driving it, but watch out for speed breakers as the C-class is known for its low ground clearance, although it was raised a bit during its last update.

Asked by: Rishabh Singhon Dec 27, 2025

Hello Autocar India, having recently sold my Mercedes GLC, I am looking to transition to a sedan that offers superior rear-seat comfort, lower maintenance costs, and stronger resale value. My absolute priority is the rear-seat experience for my parents, specifically a model with significant power-recline and a smooth ride. Considering the Camry, Lexus ES 300h, and German rivals like the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Audi A6, which offers the best “boss-seat” experience?

Given the requirements you've listed out, it's hard to go wrong with the Lexus ES 300h. It's the only one in this price range that offers the power recline function at the rear; its ride quality is superb. 

Also, being a Toyota underneath, maintenance and services are fewer and more affordable than those of other luxury cars. The Toyota Camry is, of course, even better value, but it doesn't have the same luxurious interior as the Lexus. 

With German brands having got significantly more expensive lately, the Lexus has somehow remained in the lower price bracket. Alongside the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 Series LWB, which only further enhances its value proposition.

Asked by: Ashish Nagpalon Oct 28, 2025

I’m considering the Mercedes C200 as a replacement for my 2015 Audi A3. Is speed-bump scraping a big issue with the C200? My A3 has never touched any speed bump. Also, are there any similarly priced alternatives with good interiors, driving pleasure, reliability, and long-lasting for 10 years?

The Mercedes-Benz C200 is a nice sedan with strong luxe appeal, and while it is a sedan, it fares rather well over speed bumps. The next alternative that is good on ground clearance and has good driving pleasure is the Mini Countryman.
However, if you want a car that is luxurious and nice to drive at the same time, the C200 is the better buy.

Asked by: Kishoreon Oct 26, 2025

My budget is ₹70-80 lakh. My preferences are luxury and performance. Which vehicle should I buy between the BMW 3 Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class?

If you are going to be behind the wheel more often, the BMW M340i is excellent and has a decent rear seat for occasional chauffeur-driven drives too. However, if you want a better rear seat experience, the BMW 330Li is very good too. It is almost as good as the M340i, but thanks to the long wheelbase, it gets a spacious and comfy rear seat as well.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers a more luxurious interior, but the driving experience is much better in the BMW.
