Is the 2023 Mercedes Benz C300 a BETTER new luxury sedan than a BMW 330i?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The C300 gets a total redesign for 2022 from Mercedes. On the outside you will discover optional AMG wheels, new grill, sheet metal, front fascia and rear bumper. On the inside you will be greeted by leather seating, new infotainment system and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 255HP & mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Mercedes Benz C300 a BETTER new luxury sedan than a BMW 330i?

I own this in Lunar Blue, bought it in December. It FAR outpaces the BMW 3 series and Audi in presence and luxury feel. I look for a comfortable ride as I commute 60 miles a day on avg, and compared to my family's GLC and my prior CLA, this is the best ride and easiest commute with the driver assist package

I agree. I have a 2022 C300 and the fake exhaust tips are disappearing. They’ll be real for the AMG models coming soon, and I’m sure MB made the base model this way so they wouldn’t have to use different bumpers/exhaust outlets on the different models, but it’s still disappointing.
The pinstripes are stunning!! Incredibly impressive interior although I wish the seats had a splash of black. I’m sold.

Nice review. I bought a 2022 C300 4Matic almost 3 months ago, have put over 3,000 miles on it already, and I really like it. I think the 330i is more of a driver’s car than the C-Class, but with the sport suspension option the new C300 handles pretty well in my opinion. Like most Mercedes, options abound on the new C-Class. The base price isn’t terrible, but the MSRP climbs quickly as you start adding options. But around $50-52K will get you a very nice car, not much more than a similarly equipped BMW 330i or Audi A4.

Well after 8 or nine months of owner ship:Amg line. Tinted the windows, carbon mirror caps, carbon spoiler, paint protection. Also had to replace the piano black cup holder cover with the other option with like the other silver print like carbon . Engine is loud sounds like a diesel engine and no pep for my taste. Starling blue with the white or whatever you call it. My belt or my black pants rubbed into the mb tex and won’t come out half to re dye. But very nice looking vehicle. With the Amg line it looks better with the lowered suspension.Yes as you stated zonk on the usb charger stuff. Ordered a 2024 c43.
Great review - but would have liked to hear your perspective on the mild hybrid element to this new engine - that’s like this biggest change to this drivetrain.
@timothycoyne5874

I agree. I have a 2022 C300. Having driven the prior generation cars, I can tell you the mild hybrid makes the new car’s drivetrain smoother. It’s also supposed to negate turbo lag but there is still some lag when you really punch it.

Thanks for another great Raiti review! It's a nice looking car, and 250'ish HP and almost 300 lb/ft is decent for a sub-3700 lb car. The exhaust sound... Meh, a little weezy.

Maybe they’re trying to catch younger buyers with all the new tech. Myself being im a millenial love the idea of the ipad and so much tech. I have alot of friends who do too. Merc was always kinda an old mans car but it seems like they’re adding in tech to yes keep current and also to catch sales from the younger market. I personally do not like the buttons and old looking gauges but looks are subjectivr
Why not just put the exhaust in the fake tips? It's just a matter of shaping the mufflers differently, right? I like the car but standing and looking at it from the back, it looks like it has a big bubble butt. Really love the two tones on the interior though.
