2025 Mercedes-Benz C200: Entry-level luxury sedan gets price cut

Mercedes-Benz’s most affordable C-Class is cheaper for 2025, but it has lost a little kit in the process.

Now on sale and priced at $87,800 before on-road costs, the Mercedes-Benz C200 is $4800 cheaper than before.

Mercedes-Benz Australia has removed the C200’s rear privacy glass and swapped its 19-inch multi-spoke bi-colour alloy wheels for 18-inch Tantalite Grey five-spoke alloys with run-flat tyres.

If you still want these items, however, you can add the optional Design Package for $1800.

“Responding to customer preferences, these adjustments provide more options and flexibility when configuring vehicles,” said a Mercedes-Benz Australia spokesperson.

There have been no other changes to the C200’s features list, which also includes:

• 11.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Satellite navigation
• DAB+ digital radio
• 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
• Head-up display
• Heated, power-adjustable front sports seats with memory
• Artico upholstery
• Proximity entry with push-button start
• LED headlights
• Surround-view camera
• Panoramic sunroof
• Adaptive cruise control
• Autonomous emergency braking
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Lane-keep assist
• Rear cross-traffic assist

An optional Plus Package brings a raft of extra features, including a Burmester sound system and an expanded suite of active safety technology.

The rear-wheel drive C200 is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 150kW of power and 300Nm of torque, mated with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

While it’s $4800 cheaper than last year’s model, the C200 is still $8900 more expensive than when it launched here in 2022.

Australian C-Class sales fell 26 per cent last year to 1943 units, making the German brand’s stalwart mid-sized car less popular than its arch-rival, the BMW 3 Series (2472 sales). However, the BMW also posted a double-digit sales decline.
