Pros

Interior is impeccably crafted
Many available cutting-edge features
A range of high-horsepower engines available

Cons

Clumsy touchpad infotainment interface
C 300's optional sport suspension rides too harshly
Limited cargo space

What's new

Fully redesigned for 2022
Sleeker styling, new interior with big central touchscreen
Only available with one engine for the first model year
2022 model kicks off the fifth C-Class generation

Overview

Convertibles and coupes have been waning in popularity over the last decade and it looks like they're about to get even rarer. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe and convertible end their run at the end of 2022. A new CLE model is coming that will replace the two-door and drop-top versions of the C- and E-Class. The C-Class sedan remains and has been fully redesigned for this year.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.92 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

The C-Class coupe and convertible ride off into the sunset without fanfare. There are no special final editions to commemorate the end of production, but there are a few minor upgrades. New adaptive headlights are standard on all models and can selectively block small portions of the beam to keep from blinding oncoming traffic. The system has been in use overseas for years, but it's finally been approved for use in the U.S. Carbon-ceramic brake rotors are also available for the high-performance C 63 S model.

With the discontinuation of the coupe and convertible, that leaves the BMW 4 Series as the sole survivor in the class. It's bookended by the smaller BMW Z4 and more expensive alternatives that include the Porsche 911, BMW 8 Series and Lexus LC 500. That begs the question: Should you get in on the last run of C-Classes? It has aged gracefully but misses out on the latest technology, such as the praiseworthy MBUX infotainment system. For us, that's reason enough to wait for the CLE-Class.

Which C-Class does Edmunds recommend?

If you absolutely cannot wait for the new Mercedes-Benz CLE to replace the C-Class coupe or convertible, we recommend sticking with the base C 300. It has plenty of power for the majority of drivers and you have an abundance of customization options. We suggest adding the Driver Assistance package to start and perhaps upgrading to all-wheel drive if you live in a region with wet or snowy weather.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class models

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a small luxury car sold in sedan, coupe and convertible (Cabriolet) body styles. Five trims are available in increasing levels of performance: C 300, C 300 4Matic and AMG C 43. Most models use rear-wheel drive, though the C 300 4Matic and AMG C 43 feature all-wheel drive. Regardless of engine, a nine-speed automatic is the only transmission available.

C 300 and C 300 4Matic
The base C 300 and C 300 4Matic are virtually identical; the only difference is that the former features rear-wheel drive and the latter is equipped with all-wheel drive. Standard features include:

Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (255 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque)
Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
Sunroof (sedan and coupe only)
Power trunklid
Keyless entry and ignition
Digital gauge cluster
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Driver's seat memory settings

Blind-spot warning (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change)

Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the C-Class and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Driver Assistance package

Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front; can also react to traffic signs and set speed)
Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
Evasive steering assist (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)

Panoramic sunroof
Heated steering wheel
Ventilated front seats
Leather upholstery
Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)

AMG C 43

Dash Goes Blank after 5000 miles

Disappointed Buyer in St Pete, 02/16/2023

2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I am so disappointed this was my 4th Mercedes Benz. I waited 9 months for my custom made Benz C300 Cabriolet and after only 5000 miles the dash computers went blank and made the car underivable. I have been without my car for 8 weeks now. They were going to reprogram the computers but after 3 weeks they told me they had to order a whole new dash. They say the dash was shipped 1/26/23 but …

Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. BMW 3 Series

Historically, the BMW 3 Series has been the sporty choice among small luxury sedans. It can be argued that, without the BMW, Mercedes may not have even created the C-Class back in the 1990s. Although the engine outputs are nearly identical, the 3 Series is quicker and more engaging. The C-Class is more comfortable and leisurely by contrast.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. Audi A4

As is usually the case with Audi, the A4 splits the difference between BMW and Mercedes, offering a middle ground in terms of performance, luxury and technology. We give the A4 high marks for its easy-to-use tech features, well-constructed cabin and rear seats that can accommodate adults. The A4 with its base engine is less powerful than the C 300 but gets slightly better fuel economy.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. Lexus IS 300

Coming off a significant refresh last year, the Lexus IS 300 is finally poised to make a direct challenge to the entrenched German incumbents. It drives noticeably better than before and the infotainment control interface has been improved. Compared to the C-Class and other German sedans, the Lexus is a relative bargain for what you get.
