Mercedes C-class

Card image cap

Mercedes looks to cover off every angle with super-configurable, fifth-generation C-Class The W206-generation Mercedes C-Class is a transitional car for one of the world’s founding car makers, and yet it remains singularly important. It was the the first C-Class not to offer multi-cylinder combustion engines, for example, when it first appeared in 2021; but was also one of the last of Mercedes' current models of any series not to be engineered for all-electric power.Needless to say, that doesn’t mean it won’t be ‘electrified’. In fact, Mercedes is aiming to attract particular attention, and win some key European fleet business, with plug-in hybrid models. You can have those as petrol- or diesel-electric options - the latter now the preserve of Mercedes alone, among passenger-car brands - and whichever you have, you can be confident of plenty of electric-only range, and a choice of four-door saloon or five-door estate bodystyles.Rest assured, there are also still traditional non-hybridised petrol and diesel models to choose from, as well as hot AMG versions.
