Review C-Class - Mercedes C200 2019

Furniture, design and technology

The appearance is very important in a sedan and the sleek lines of the C200 make it stand out while the interior quality is also strong.

Mercedes worked hard to shrink the S-Class Sedan by nearly £ 100,000 into a smaller form for the C200 and it worked - xe mercedes c200 Sedan is a very stylish car and one of the smartest - if not is the smartest - in the industry.

In Europe, the C200 Sedan has a very basic trim level with plastic wheels. But, due to the high expectations of British buyers on how a Mercedes will look and feel, here, the standard Sedan has two clearly specified trim levels - Sport and AMG Line. .

Sport has 17-inch alloys, LED headlights, artificial leather heated seats, seven-inch infotainment screen, Garmin's sat-nav system and seat belts slide forward for ease. approach. AMG Line adds more robust exterior styling including more sparkling grille, 18-inch alloy, lowered suspension, speed-sensitive steering wheel, AMG brand carpet and stainless steel pedals. There are also black roof liners and silver paddle switches on automatic versions.

The top three range models are developed by Mercedes-AMG - Mercedes' in-house tuning unit. The C 43 is stylishly more racier than the cars with the AMG Series extra device as an AMG performance exhaust, a lip spoiler on the boot lid and red seatbelt. Meanwhile, C 63 and C 63 S are powerful performance cars and have outstanding body designs and body-hugging seats. When released, there is also the C 1 S version 1 version inspired by the Mercedes C 63 S Sedan race in the German Tour Car Championship. So it comes with racing stripes.

The interior of the C200 Sedan is as stylish as the exterior. Naturally, it was taken straight out of the pub and had the same high quality structure and attractive design details. Almost everything you touch is made of good quality plastic or metal and you have to work hard to find any cheap feeling material. As standard, Sedan is glossy black for the center console but while it looks great, it can be scratched very easily.

Sat-nav, stereo and entertainment information

Like most Mercedes models, the C200 Sedan has a tablet-like screen attached to the dashboard. The opposite opinion is that it looks cheap or smart but at least it's different from the opponent's settings. Its operating system is not intuitive or interesting to use as the excellent BMW Drive iDrive or Audi ‘s MMI. There are some confusing menu tabs that can make it difficult to use on the go despite the scroll wheel and touchpad options.

By standard, the C200 gets a satin nav. Although it seems that Mercedes does not use the Garmin system seems unstable, but it works well enough. C200 Sedan also takes Bluetooth and DAB as standard.

As part of the Premium and Premium Plus packages, there is the option of Burmester stereo system. With 13 speakers and nine channels, it's worth upgrading if you like listening to music on the move.

Practical, comfortable and boot space

Non-stop models C200 Sedan bring acceptable practicality. The space in the back seat is tight.

Reasonable interior space on C200 Sedan. Like most cars of this type, the space is a bit crowded in the back for adults but for short journeys it is enough. There is a beautiful and multi-block shoe and interior storage.

The seats don't fold and move forward quite a lot of ways for simple rear access. The long sedan doors and roofs are higher than an Audi A5, meaning the rear seats are easier to access, but there will be fewer seats when you are there. Tidy touches like electric seatbelts make sure you don't need to go too far, so long doors don't affect too much reality. Vision out of a sedan may be limited, but Mercedes offers quite good front and rear visibility.

Size

With a length of 4,750mm and a width of 1,877mm, the C200 Sedan is slightly larger than its biggest rival, the BMW 4 Series Sedan. That's the same story when you compare it to the Audi A5 Sedan and Lexus RC - but we only talk a few millimeters.

Foot room, head room & passenger space

The front space is amazing, however, as you would expect, the rear room is quite limited. It's thanks to the sloping roof that means anyone over six feet will actually fight for space, but kneeroom is only acceptable and you can slip under the front seat to create a little more comfort. . There are only two seats, with a pair of cupholder in the center - the middle seat has been removed so that the two external seats can be moved in to allow passengers to see more clearly ahead of us. In general, space is on par with competitors.

Start up

In addition to the C 63 and C 63 S models, all C200 Sedans have a 400-liter boot. This is less than 5
