Overview

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class has just undergone a major facelift, with an updated look, more power, and a fantastic interior. Putting an emphasis on technology and style without sacrificing performance, the C-Class continues to be a top choice in the compact luxury sedan segment.

What's New for 2019

Mercedes has undergone a comprehensive redesign. The base engine remains the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged motor, but it has had the power increased by 14 horsepower. They've also made a number of style changes, including new front and rear bumpers, 64-color ambient lighting, new upholstery and paint choices, and LED headlights and taillights.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Choosing Your Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The C-Class range is deep and wide, mostly separated by body style (it's available as a coupe, cabriolet, and sedan) and engine choice. The base engine in the C300 is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The AMG C 43 is given a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that's been tuned by AMG to make a healthy 362 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. Both of these models make use of a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Cranking it up a notch, the AMG C 63 receives another couple of cylinders in the form of a handcrafted twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 with 469 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, and if that's not enough the AMG C 63 S has that V8's power turned up even more to 503 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. In order to best use this power, the C 63 and C 63 S use a fast shifting seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. If you feel the need for speed, the C-Class has you covered.

Of these variants, the C300 offers all-wheel drive as an option, while the AMG C 43 comes with it standard. The C 63 and C 63 S are both rear-wheel drive, and won't hesitate to convert their tires into smoke.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

C300

Starting at $42,395 for the rear-wheel drive model (all prices include the $995 destination charge) and $44,395 for the all-wheel-drive 4-MATIC variant , the C300 is the base model of the C-Class. However, the C300 is anything but basic. It comes standard with six different colors of faux leather seats, five different trim materials, dual-zone climate control, a sunroof, power front seats with memory for the driver, and a seven-inch infotainment screen. There's even a standard subwoofer that Mercedes-Benz calls "FRONTBASS" that utilizes the C300's frame to make a better sounding bass.

The C300 features standalone options galore and almost too many packages to list. The most notable include the $2,000 AMG Line Package that adds AMG-inspired interior and exterior trim, sport front seats, sport brakes, a sport suspension, and five-spoke AMG wheels. Additionally, the $900 Exterior Lighting Package gives the C300 adaptive headlights and automatic high beams, while the $2,500 Multimedia Package offers a bigger 10.25-inch infotainment screen, voice control, and navigation. The Premium Package adds blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, an electronic trunk closer, hands free keyless entry with push button start, and satellite radio for $1,600. Finally, there's two driver assistance packages, including the $1,090 Parking Assist Package (active park assist, surround-view camera) and the $2,250 Driver Assistance Package (automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, lane change assist, blind-spot monitoring, speed limit assist, steering assist, active distance assist).

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

AMG C 43

If you'd like a little more power in your life, it's hard to go wrong with the AMG C 43. Starting at $54,395, the AMG C 43 features a zero-to-60 mph time of just 4.6 seconds. All of the standard features found on the C300 are in the C 43, but it adds a much more aggressive AMG-trimmed exterior. The standard interior upholstery is black suede with red seat belts, and the features from the C300's Premium Package are included.

New option packages available on this trim include the $350 Air Balance package that includes a cabin fragrance system and an air purifier, along with the $350 Smart Phone Integration Package which adds Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Notable standalone options include the $850 Burmester sound system, a $1,250 AMG Performance Exhaust, and $2,500 AMG Performance front seats.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

AMG C 63

The $68,090 AMG C 63 most notably features a handbuilt V8 which will rocket it to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds. If you just have to get under that four-second mark, AMG will sell you the $74,695 C 63 S which will get you to that magic number in 3.9 seconds. Both of these cars are essentially German muscle cars, and won't hesitate to get loose if you aren't paying attention. That being said, that much power is an addictive amount of fun, and you'll find yourself smiling anytime you get the opportunity to open the taps a bit.

The standard features, options and packages of the C 63 largely reflect those of the C 43, but you'll have to pay extra for red seat belts. However, the C 63 S comes standard with Nappa leather seats (as it should for a car that costs almost $75,000), and is offered with $5,450 Carbon Ceramic Brakes in addition to the other packages.

CarsDirect Tip

Of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class lineup, the AMG C 63 is an impressive piece of machinery, while the AMG C 43 offers a ton of performance and luxury at a pretty reasonable price. Additionally, the C 43 is much more suited to everyday driving, as it's able to apply its power more effectively than its more powerful brethren.

The luxury-car realm has grown and shifted over the years, pushing onetime entry-level models like the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class further up the food chain. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is sharper, more luxurious, and higher-performing than ever before, but is it the right vehicle for you? Keep reading to find out.

Best Value

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes in a pair of body styles — sedan and coupe — and has four trims within each: C 300, AMG C 43, AMG C 63, and AMG C 63 S. While the AMG models are great for performance enthusiasts, the C 300 Sedan is your best buy.

The 2019 C 300 Sedan’s standard features include leatherette upholstery, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a seven-inch infotainment display, Bluetooth with audio streaming, a sunroof, 18-inch wheels, LED headlights and taillights, USB ports, and more. There are tons of packages available for the 2019 C 300 Sedan, but we suggest just one: the Premium Package.

  • Model: 2019 Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan
  • Engine: 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder
  • Output: 255 hp / 273 lb-ft
  • Transmission: Nine-speed automatic
  • Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive
  • MPG:23 City / 34 Hwy
  • Options: Premium Package ($1,600, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, keyless entry and ignition, hands-free access, SiriusXM)
  • Base Price:$42,395 (including the $995 destination fee)
  • Best Value Price:$43,995

Performance

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

No matter which 2019 C-Class you choose, there's plenty of performance to please virtually anyone. Even the base C 300, which received a 14-horsepower power increase to 255 hp this year, delivers exhilarating performance with a 5.7-second zero-to-60 mph sprint. Those looking for even more power will find the AMG C 43 and C 63 models are more than enough with 385 to 503 hp.

Despite Mercedes tuning the C-Class for comfort, its chassis still pulls off impressive handling in its base C 300 trim. Moving into the AMG models cranks the dial to “11.”

There's little the 2019 C-Class does poorly, but its lack of a manual transmission option spoils some fun.

Style

In every body style, the 2019 C-Class looks the part of a luxury car thanks to its S-Class-inspired design. Opting for the AMG models or adding the AMG Line sports up the lower-tier C-Class without the big AMG price tag.

Inside, things gets even better as the C-Class draws its upscale look directly from the S-Class with its waterfall-style center stack, open-pore wood options, optional 10.3-inch infotainment display, and an available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Sure, many of these options cost big money, but they're stunning.

While it’s hard to fault the C-Class for anything, the sedan’s rear seat is cramped at 35.2 inches of rear leg room, and its trunk is tight at just 12.6 cubic feet. The C-Class Coupe is even worse with just 32 inches of rear leg room and 10.5 cubes of luggage space.

The Best and Worst Things

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a top-notch performer in every body style and trim level, and its AMG models please performance snobs.

If you love family road trips, the tight rear seat and miniscule trunk won’t work for you.

Right For? Wrong For?

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The C-Class is perfect for a young executive looking to test the luxury car waters. It’s best for those with young kids or no kids at all.

The interior and trunk are too tight for buyers with older children or who often take long road trips with several suitcases in tow.

The Bottom Line

There are no mistakes about it: the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a great luxury car. It offers the look and feel of the pricey S-Class while boasting a price more consumers can manage. That said, those with growing families may quickly outgrow the C-Class, especially the coupe version.
