Mercedes C-Class 2021 review - S-Class luxury for less!

.............................................................

This is the all-new Mercedes C-Class, and Mat’s here to find out if Mercedes has what it takes to compete with the BMW 3 Series & Audi A4!

Now when it comes to the design & build quality, it won’t come as a shock to any of you that the C-Class bears a lot of similarities to the S-Class. But then again, that’s no bad thing! It looks great on the outside, and once you step inside, you’ll be treated to high quality materials throughout.

So it looks great, but what’s the performance like? Well you’ll have a number of petrol, diesel and hybrid engines to choose from. They’re all 2-litre 4 cylinders, and while the C300 delivers 258hp, the C300d will produce 265hp. The C300e has the same size engine, but it combines with an electric motor to produce 333hp. You’ll also be able to drive on electric power alone for up to 62 miles!

So what do you think - is it worth the expected £35,000 starting price? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

Hey Mat here. Do you agree with my verdict?

[johnmatthewlow]

Merc: Let's make the interior design so nice that they won't notice we switched to cheap materials and used fake exhausts..
Mat: Gotcha..

Who else randomly found this channel and now it’s just an everyday thing.

I drove an 2014 E Class saloon for years, it was epic, ran for fun, needed zero effort and the interior was spotless forever, it never drooped into looking worn. Used it for Weddings and Proms (via a private plate) and nobody ever thought it wasn't anything other than new. Incredible cars that you drive to London (from North), grab someone or something and literally turn round for home and blast up M6 and still be in 1 piece 6 hours later.
Loved it, Covid ensured it wasnt updated and that life is over... so I now drive an old french hatchback and pretend that sporty manual hatch is me pretending I'm twenty again.
My pal had the E coupe and regularly smashed the miles, up to Scotland, down past Birmingham and despite being an AMG was still a joy and didn't break you after hours in car. Hes now in an Audi and, frankly, joins me in wishing the E was still outside.
As an aside, we tried a Range Rover sport, it was epic, my favourite ever car but the maintenance compared to the Benz was ridiculous, a vibration here, a horrible noise there and everything eye watering. Loved it but as a working car the Benz is untouchable and as for the S....

Matt!! Tell manufacturers to make 6 configurable buttons under the screens. That Way we can setup what we use the most. Eg temp up and down on seats or cabin or drive modes

[marklivos]

I actually like physical buttons than the large displays

[carwow]

C-Class v 3 Series v A4... Which are you choosing?

[MoimoiMCC]

Mat: “hey Mercedes sharp up and help you set temp to low”
Merc: what?
Mat: stupid machine

[thaddwunde]

You can't get rear wheel steering in the UK because you made fun of the Mercedes crate.
In Germany we call that: Kollektivstrafe

Rimac: Here’s a stick of truth

Mat: *leaves it at home*

[liuby]

I was hoping you’d use Rimac’s carbon fibre vibrating stick of truth lol

[hpk]

God I HATE fake exhausts!
Especially on so called "premium" brands.
It looks cheap AF.

[shamoonff]

I love to watch things that I can't afford 😂
Edit : wow I've never had this much likes ever thx 🙈

[LewisOnYT]

No better way to start My Monday Morning than with a bit of Mat Watson

[leemuriuki]

[SlimKalHoone]

Matt: Hey Mercedes, then goes on a side rant ....

Also Matt: Why isn't it working??? Hit and miss with this ...

[ledeen]

The interior always gets better, the rear of the previous gen looks better tho.

[johnlayfield]

I love the way the Mercedes logo covers the whole horn pad! 🙌
