The MercedesBenzUK C-Class Estate is spacious, well equipped and luxurious. Used prices start at only £12,000 🤯
Economy is best served by the petrol-electric hybrid version, the C350 e, a strong performer with impressive claimed economy. However, as with all similar hybrid cars, such figures should perhaps be taken with a pinch of salt.
Opt for the entry-level SE trim and you'll find 16in alloy wheels, auto wipers, cruise control, a reversing camera and Mercedes' Collision Prevention Assist Plus system fitted as standard, while inside occupants are treated to a 7.0in infotainment system with DAB tuner, multimedia interface and touchpad, and electric seat height and backrest adjustment for the front seats.
Upgrade to Sport and you get heated front seats, Garmin-powered sat-nav, front and rear parking sensors, and 17in alloys. Sport models also get LED headlights, a lowered suspension, folding and dimming mirrors, and leather sports seats. The range-topping AMG Line specs include 18in AMG alloy wheels, an aggressive bodykit and sports suspension.
On the road, the C-Class Estate’s dynamic behaviour and ride comfort are a step up from the older variants, even if it’s not quite as sharp to drive as its two major rivals. Where it disappoints is in refinement, with too much road noise – and, most noticeably in the diesel variants, too much engine noise – making its way back into the interior.
However, the C-Class Estate is a solid and dependable buy, with plenty of trim levels, a well-equipped interior and lots of class-leading safety and security kit. Add to that its strong residual values and it’s clear this model is definitely a Merc worth considering.
