The all-new 2014 Mercedes C-class is the most important model the firm will launch over the next few years. The exec saloon takes styling cues from the S-class, but the real question is can it outperform the BMW 3-series?
SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: smarturl.it/autocar
The all-new Mercedes-Benz C-class is set to be here for a while, because Mercedes isn't planning on replacing this fifth-generation C-class for another seven years. So, until 2021, this is the C-class, and if ever Mercedes needed to get a car right, and get it right from the word go, this is it.
It's a touch bigger than before, both inside and out, but, crucially, it's also between 70kg and 100kg lighter than the previous model. And it's more aerodynamically efficient, which, in turn, helps it to be more ecologically efficient, too. But is it better to drive? Steve Sutcliffe finds out.

Dude you keep talking about complexity like most car buyers are morons. I think people who buy such cars and spend that much money know exactly what they are going into. Also since most of the C-class buyers are young, such technology will not frustrate them as it frustrates you.

Please something more about that. How it feels on a bad roads, difference between normal and air suspension...

I think this is the best compact executive car out there. It has the best interior, I think it has the best exterior. Also what got me was 155bhp from a 4 Cylinder Diesel? I think they really stretched out the gearing to give it be big top speed and better fuel economy, probably the reason why the 0-60 time isn't that impressive.

Compare it to the 3 Series? What a joke! Reviewers nowadays have no eye for pretty things and hold a prejudice with BMW! Compare with Audi A4 which is the new legitimate reference! 75% BMW owners I know don't drive their cars and prefer the bus or their second Toyota or Honda! All other car owners except BMW drive their cars and I personally think the 3 and 5 series of BMW do not offer precise driving! They are not as precise as a Merc or Audi. And all BMW have basically same interior design which I hate!

Daniel Mihutescu You are not allowed to talk like this on KZfaq! And I can express myself freely as long as I'm not insulting,dude! Sorry if I've hurt your feelings :) I don't own them, but I've driven 3,5 series, c200, A4, E250,.. And BMW are very awesome cars like the rest of the pack. They have a long history, are DTM champions and luxurious. The 5 series is quite OK, but BMW ruined the back of both 5 and 3 series and they are not on par with C class, A4 and A6, ISF designwise.I'm not impressed,but that's my choice! But the 4 series is absolutely gorgeous.It's like a 3 and 5 series fused and in right proportions. Saw one in silver some weeks back and it simply is amazing. It's the 4 series which should be compared to C class and A4/A5!

Edgar Diomande This can be compared to Samsung.They sell in millions,but doesn't mean they are the best. It must be agreed that this new c class is gorgeous.If not, then we have very different taste of cars! HTC (Audi), LG and Sony(Merc) look better and on par spec-wise! The 4 series, new C class and A4 are the best looking. And I've never said that BMW are sh*t.I was comparing and never said they are the worst.U misunderstood me. And the top 10 reliable cars feature: Lexus which is the topper and can really not be compared to a BMW or a Merc. A luxurious car with good looks and the best engine(Toyota) is simply above these! Audi is also in the top 10. But Merc and BMW are not even in the top 10!!! Hope this change coz I know some people who got problems with the turbo of BMW and compressor of Merc!

They are bested by BMW and Audi on the dynamic side but tops them in other respects like comfort and interior. Please stop being a troll, nobody's gonna give a shit on you.

It will be the best car in its class. The tech & quality matches (even beats) an A6 & 535i, let alone a measly 328i. Once Mercedes sorts out the production car's finer details, I'll be a new luxury standard. I would ditch thedl diesels altogether since Mercedes really makes some economic 4 pot petrol units. The 2.0 unit found in the A250/B250 is quite good. It'll ve even better with the C350 3.5 306hp V6. And later on a 335i killer C400 we can look forward to. What I don't like is the exterior design. A mini S-class is nice but lacks the edgy/sporty look of the late w204. The ipad infotainment unit vs. W204 facelifted built-in unit also feels like a downgrade to an otherwise great looking interior.

The only people who buys a BMW now only do so for the badge, or a wannabe-jock.

Both Audi and BMW have had a bunch of driving modes (including individual tailoring) for quite some time now. Also, both Audi and Bimmer use touchpads now too. So why ffs would you brag about all that technology being in the C-Class? You've never had a problem with those features being put in A4 and the 3-Series. At least on screen you haven't. This is utter nonsense. It's been covered in the past that they mainly started putting touchpads in the cars, because of the increased demand from Asian markets, which use complex alphabets and so on...

Just Navi and Burmester audio is that much. Or just AMG interior,and exterior is that much. In Germany,the price goes from 36-70.000e for a 200 model,and you are saying us that you pay only about 4.000e for all that equipment? OMG,YOU HAD ONE JOB! ONE JOB !!!

This is my opinion, I'd go for the C class anyday. I hope Autocar will test the petrol versions of it.

This winds me up. It's not Mercedes fault you don't know how to use relevant modern technology most buyers will absolutely love. You've also failed to mention that the 20d engined BMW cars are amongst the worst sounding diesels on the market, loud and clattery engines, especially when mated to the manual gearbox option. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you also the reviewer who thought attempting to drift the BMW i3 was a good idea and relevant to how the car performs?

I quite like the screen, each to their own I guess: I can't help but wonder though why in this day and age they didn't make it touchscreen. Entry level cars in lower price brackets are fitted with such tech and I really think mercedes dropped the ball on that. As it is I'm trading my 3 series bimmer for the sport premium c class and that's mainly based on the interior which BMW haven't really changed in. ..... Well. .... ever.

Yep a shockingly poor review - not of the car, but the reviewer. It's a BlueTec!!! Low emissions so comparing to a Porsche is ridiculous. And too much tech? What a Luddite!! Autocar needs better reviewers with younger outlooks and with more personality (and I am old)

Once they give it new engines and the nine speed gearbox it will be a class leader.

This desperately needs a Coupe body style. Preferably with the new 333hp V6 in AMG clothes.

don't hate on the car because you failed to make it slide coming out of the corners mate. Anyway trying to make a diesel C class slide out of corners is in itself a testimony to your warped sense of what to expect from the car

How can he think that is complicated? Car systems are so far behind what we use everyday in mobile devices. This just catches up a bit. You can tell he doesn't really know tech from him saying "it's like an iphone".. lol :) He probably uses a smartphone as a phone, maybe angry birds :) Anyway, I would buy the one with the biggest engine if I wanted a good engine, not the bluetech. This C400 might replace my 400 hp 2013 wrx sti as daily driver.. I like the interior much better than the Audi S4. Then I wait for the Alfa 4C to come out in Canada for my summer car :))) Was going to get a GT-R but I can have two amazing cars for the same price and still go on a quiet, luxurious, comfortable road trip in one of them and tear down mountain roads with the other :))

I have the US version of this car, the C300. I agree with him about the mouse/clickwheel being a bitch to use but it looks cool. I can't comment about the engine he's reviewing since mine is a 241hp with 273 lb ft torque turbo, and it moves just fine.

The engine in the Porsche Macan diesel it's an 3.0l V6 with 258hp. The engine in this C-Class that he's testing it's an 2.1l 4 cylinder in line diesel with 204hp. Of course the V6 diesel in the Porsche will sound better than de 4 cylinder diesel in the Mercedes. So I don't think you can compare those engines.
