some time ago, bmw announced its withdrawal from the price war, and the terminal discounts of some popular models were reduced. it was rumored that mercedes-benz and audi followed suit. as a result, when the sales in july were released, bmw's sales fell sharply month-on-month, and the sales of the three companies were even surpassed by ideal auto. the domestic market has taught bba a lesson. in the context of the price war, strong companies like mercedes-benz, bmw, and audi will see their sales decline if they dare to raise prices against the trend. so we can see that after the "rumors" have passed, the prices of some models of first-tier luxury brands have shown very obvious discounts, such as the mercedes-benz c-class.

mercedes-benz c-class is one of the best-selling mid-size sedans among first-tier luxury brands, and is also the first choice for many friends who like mercedes-benz sedans. this mid-size sedan is 4882mm long, and the manufacturer's suggested retail price is 334,800-380,600 yuan. compared with second-tier luxury brands and domestic new energy vehicles of the same level, this price can be said to be quite confident. however, under the fierce market competition, the terminal discount of mercedes-benz c-class is also very large. through the car portal website, we can see that the entry-level model of this car has a price of more than 180,000 and less than 190,000 yuan. this is too shocking. i thought it was the price of a-class!

i remember that at a certain auto show, a person who claimed to be a media person cursed mercedes-benz at the mercedes-benz booth, saying that it was unfair for a car worth more than 300,000 yuan to use a 1.5t engine. he was talking about the mercedes-benz c-class. the current mercedes-benz c-class all uses a 1.5t turbocharged engine + 48v mild hybrid, paired with a 9-speed manual transmission. what is really unfair is that the 1.5t engine is divided into high and low power! only one entry-level model is equipped with a low-power 1.5t engine, with a maximum horsepower of 170ps, a peak torque of 250n·m, an acceleration time of 9.2 seconds per 100 kilometers, and a wltc comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.35l.

the remaining models are all equipped with high-power engines, and some models are also equipped with 4matic four-wheel drive systems. the maximum engine horsepower is 204ps, the peak torque is 300n·m, and the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is 7.6 seconds and 7.8 seconds, and the four-wheel drive models are slightly slower. the wltc comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.45-6.75l, and the four-wheel drive fuel consumption is slightly higher. it can be said that except for the lowest-equipped model, the acceleration ability and fuel consumption performance of other models are still very good.

the appearance of the mercedes-benz c-class has not changed much over the years, but it is becoming more and more youthful. the front face of the current model is no longer so domineering, but relatively more neutral. the size of the air intake grille is not large, and the mercedes-benz logo is embedded in the middle of the grille. the lights on both sides do not have any special shape. not to mention the side and rear, there are no obvious features, but it must be said that this inherited family style can still be recognized by many friends.

mercedes-benz has a way of creating a luxurious interior, which is basically recognized by everyone. the current c-class uses a suspended lcd instrument and a vertical central control screen, which has a very good display effect. at the same time, the car also introduces a piano paint panel. the overall luxurious performance is indeed worthy of recognition.

mercedes-benz c-class is equipped with front and rear multi-link independent suspension. this car is one of the most comfortable luxury brand mid-size cars without air suspension that i have driven. the softness of the seats, ergonomic design, sound insulation and noise reduction, and chassis shock filtering are all quite good. moreover, this car is also very light to drive. the chassis has a good control over roll and bounce. it can quickly filter out bumps on some potholes and bad roads, and it is very smooth to drive.

finally, it’s about the configuration. the entire mercedes-benz c-class series is equipped with front center airbags, full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, active braking, front collision warning and other functions as standard, and has a very good performance in terms of active and passive safety.

in terms of other configurations, this car is equipped with keyless start, adaptive high and low beam headlights, electric sunroof, voice recognition control, 4g network connection, leather steering wheel, mobile phone app remote control, mobile phone wireless charging, electric adjustment of the driver and co-driver seats, 64-color ambient lights, and burmester audio (optional).

in short, when the domestic automobile market is a buyer's market and domestic new energy vehicles are rising strongly and are reducing prices in various ways, joint venture brands and luxury brands actually don't have many cards in their hands, or in other words, the only thing left may be to lower prices. models like the mercedes-benz c-class have now been significantly reduced in price, which can be regarded as a return to rationality in the market.
