Am I the only one that was surprised Doug didn’t make fun of the climate vent “face” in the rear seats 😂😂😂
I cannot un-see it now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Doug might be losing his touch. But I’ll give him a pass
Robot head
Saw the face too 😂
This lamb picked up on it right away.
I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that the limited speed adjustment when in close proximity to objects is meant for the elderly who have a habit of mixing up the gas and brake pedals. This is actually a very good feature to have for every car in the future, glad to see it's actually being implemented now.
If that feature gets triggered even once you should lose your license for life
@@user59371 or u should just learn how to drive?
Its the feature for typical C class drivers
Next BMW should do automatic turn signals.

“Seat adjusts to your size!”
Tell us which was more comfortable Doug. 6’4” or 6’3”? Was it the 6’2”?
For those that are wondering, built-in navigation is actually available. It's standard on the top trim level and a $650 option on lower trims.
Which i find stupid seeing that its a Mercedes, it should be standard on all models.
I would understand if they do that for a Toyota or Honda but not a Mercedes
@@samlung2724 Even worse is the rear USBs which the other two brands you mentioned, include in their sedans
@@samlung2724 Toyota puts radar cruise control as standard but the "premium" brands will charge you!!
$650?!???!! Waze is free. Fucking Mercedes
$650 is pretty cheap for an option but it should just be standard…
Surely the C-Class offers navigation as an option. Doug, you do excellently detailed reviews, but it's sometimes a bit annoying how you so often generalize your opinion on a car's features based on what options happen to be included or not included in the particular review model. Often this can be seen in rear USB plugs or wireless charging pads, for example, both of which tend to be extra options or part of some comfort pack in many, if not most, cars. Pay an extra $300 when configuring if you need them, and there they are. Same goes for rear climate controls. You can clearly see the cubby in the back that will be replaced by the climate control panel if you just option it in, but here it's just called a drawback, without any mention that it's available if you just get the 4-zone climate pack.
It makes perfect sense for MB to not include navigation as default, because they have to pay for map licenses, and many will probably be happy with Waze or something through their phone. But to imply that C-Class doesn't offer navigation at all, is just wrong.
I hope Doug reads this he should do better there.
Other cars in same class such as 3-series and A4, these features are the default.
@@gordonfreeman5903 If you get the cheapest base model 3-series or A4, I highly doubt they come with nav and rear seat climate controls as standard.
@@arantala No doubt. It's easy to prove. Just do some build on bmw or Audi HP. You can not find any opinions for backseat climate control.
@@gordonfreeman5903 I concede: you are correct. At least in my market a 3-zone climate with rear control does come standard in both, and the BMW comes with navigation as standard too, although the A4 doesn't. Thanks for the correction.
Doug clearly knows the intricate details of the cars he reviews. Just wish he’d spend more time driving them and giving us more details about how they are on the road.
No matter what he does, while driving, it will never give you a true feeling, to what it actually is. Go to the dealer and do a test drive. Im glad, hes only giving a quick inside into the driving experience.
its a superficial review based on first impressions - no long term follow-ups nor real world conditions
@@ace8184 acknowledged/understood, but all of Doug’s reviews follow the same format.
Literally every other mediocre car reviewer drives the car and spouts meaningless crap that doesn't accurately convey what it feels like to drive. Doug focuses on stuff that actually translates through a screen.

The era of "same design in different sizes" came back. The mini S-Class.
exactly. mercedes not going well in my eyes .
Also the interior is all screen and no physical buttons which I don't really like
@@hamzajunaid11022 seems like thats what the buyers want
@@ode1854 except its not, doing all in the screen is cheaper that's why they keep pushing this bs without people actually liking it.
@@marciliojunior4919 nah, people actually like that. Also no screen is cheaper than Buttons lol, you know Software developement for this thing is very costly? Look at your Ipad and keyboard, keyboard is almost always much cheaper than ipad because Button simply are cheaper.
Weirdly specced car. Went for the Burmester sound system and the sunroof, but did not tick the option box for the nav function in the infotainment. But I think you can unlock it afterwards. Also left out all the little options, like charge ports in the rear (those do not come as standard, you have to tick the option box - but pretty much everybody does that...)
probably using carplay or AA
@@matiastripaldi406 Yeah, I can see that if someone buys a car like this and wants to save $300 or so if they think "I will only use Apple carplay anyway, so why spend some money on the Infotainment nav option". But for a demonstrator car (which this obviously was), it seems silly for a car dealer not to spend money on these obvious options, it makes the car feel poverty spec whenever someone takes a test drive.
honestly I wonder how many people use the built in nav vs just using their phone. I would spec it in this same way actually! I don't have children or frequent rear-seat passengers so I don't need the rear USB ports
Looks like a typical dealership show/test drive car, they often have "undesirable" options configurations
This is the young single professional spec. Sound system and sunroom for trips the the gym or a night out. No nav because the phone is going to be connected every drive. No rear ports because no children. This is a bachelors/bachelorette car.
Doug DeMuro. King U-Turns.... I thank you for another great review!
14:30 In the C43, the four-cylinder engine is good for 402 hp and 369 pound-feet of torque, with a 48-volt, belt-driven starter-generator can add 13 extra horses for a quick boost.
I’ve been anxiously awaiting your review of the new C-Class for a while, keep up the good work Doug!
Why r u anxious bro
@@drippgxd drugs lol
Eager-not anxious.
Thats how you keep the crown.
Mercedes let others do the risky experimenting and burn all their money. Now Merc stays on top and has tons of profit to make even more tech.
Exactly not like BMW (and I'm a BMW enthusiast). Although not offering six and eight cylinders is a bummer.
The m3 is way better than the c63 wytb
@@markm0000 oh yeah people looooove buzzy 4 cylinder turbo engines 🤮
Hahaha
I just recently brought home the new C Class in Selenite Grey with the AMG night package and pretty much everything loaded in to it except the HUD and the AR navigation. These cars definitely do have navigation if you get that feature but the variety in the new C Class is there. For example, mine came with nav, but no wireless charger (part of the USB package which also includes rear USB ports). The enhanced ambient lighting is also a very nice feature. A few pretty neat features were missed but understandable as they just weren't in this specific reviewed model, but if you're interested in buying definitely look at all the available features.
I mostly walked in to the dealer relatively blind just looking for a new car and I've been extremely pleased with my purchase so it was definitely nice to see this video pop up! It's a very nice and sleek looking car, rides very well and very comfy inside. Doug's right though, it's not overly excitable but for a comfortable commuter with some pretty cool features and a nice look, it's an awesome car and I love mine!
Congratulations on ur new C300! I def prefer this C300 to a Tesla any day 😄 Hopefully I could bring one home soon 😇
Why didn’t you get an amg instead
@@thenotoriousjoey9956 Idk, cause they cost twice as much and you have to fill them up three times as often?
@@thenotoriousjoey9956 the amg of this model isnt even out yet. and ye it’s more a weekend fun car
i got him in full black 😅
Now I'm excited to see what the turbo 4 c63 is going to be like. I wonder if they're going to use some crazy F1 tech to pull that off. Like maybe the pre-ignition chamber and the separated turbo housing? Not that those two things alone will get a 4cly to 600 hp without a lot of lag but I'm curious!
Both the C43 and the C63 have the 4 cylinder from the A45S, which gives just over 400 hp for the C43 and 470 hp for the C63. The C43 has a turbo with an electric motor integrated to reduce turbo lag (apparently for F1 tech), and a 48V starter/generator motor that provides a small power boost to provide extra torque at low rpms.
The C63 with have all that plus a full hybrid system with a rear motor to add 200 hp and a fancy AWD system.
14:42 I don't know where that 500 hp figure for C43 comes from. But the order guide my sales rep sent me earlier this year said it's only gonna be 402+13hp, so unless they put a 100 hp motor instead of that 13hp motor in the system, I don't see how it's gonna produce 500 hp.
Car and Driver already did a full test and review of the new C43 and it is indeed just 402 HP. The 48V hybrid system does almost nothing to add power.
You're right. Little over 400 hp from the M139 engine and tiny bit of boost of 14 hp or so from the 48V mild hybrid system. The 500 hp figure is of course ridiculous. How are they supposed to extract the same amount of power that the previous C63s' V8 used to make from a 4 cylinder without any assistance?
Dougie, like his fellow marketing majors don’t concern themselves with details.
Probably mixed it up with the C63 when he was talking
Unfortunately, Doug missed a lot of important features in this vehicle. I have one on factory order and there is indeed navigation because I have it installed in my car. It also comes with the navigation in the dashboard like other vehicles. Some major features he didnt mention is the augmented reality navigation and heads up display. Super cool if you ask me. Also, the new engine has a mild hybrid system that gives a boost to low end torque of about 130 NM which is pretty substantial compared to last model. There is also a redesigned key fob which is really cool. One of the most disappointing things he missed is the new ambient lighting. There is so much of it that you can even see it during the day. Its sad he missed so many great features that puts this car above and beyond its competitors in terms of technology.
Edit: Wow, had no idea so many car bros would have their panties in a bunch over this comment. Must be that time of the month.
He missed the hard plastics everywhere below waistline and the low front end that bottoms out. The competitors aren’t that way, and I’ve owned them all.
GEEE WIZZ GOLLY A NEW REDISIGNED KEY FOB??!??!?!? THIS C CLASS IS A MUST HAVE..... LMAOO who gives a fuck

An A4 Quattro handle and ride better
@@TheRealBootyWarrior a majority of Doug’s viewers…
That proximity speed limiter will likely save lives and will hopefully spread to other companies. So many accidents happen in parking lots with people (especially elderly) mixing up the pedals and crashing into people and things at high speeds
I really dislike how much the gauge cluster really just looks like a tacked on screen instead of a digitized gauge cluster. Audi’s cluster looked more modern than this 5 years ago.
I rather dislike any screens like that in cars. Like they designed it and then went 'oh crap, we forgot the screen....well...just set it on top, no one will notice'.
@@jblyon2 It makes a lot more sense to mount the screen like this... Its a screen. It should not be limited to the area and angles of the old instruments. If you use a screen, you do it so you can de-clutter de dashboard and push it back. A simple, minimalistic screen, properly placed so that it give the impression of greater space in the car. Whats nfortunate is the center console and its screen. Way to messy. Too many things going around there. The back of that screen will fill with dust. The EQ sedans configuration looks the best in terms of digital instruments ergonomy and design
@@jblyon2 I rather dislike that people are still reproducing children during 2020's

I feel like a new category is how each vehicles drivers assist/ cruise control/ lane keep compares. The tech needs to be broken down a bit more to compare how it navigates highway merges/ overall driver feel.
Random question: When Doug reviews an old car people get excited and kinda slanders his supercar videos when he rarely makes those. If Doug made a video on a 2nd gen Prius, do you think people are gonna be excited to see that over let’s say a Koenigsegg?
@@drippgxd tbh I would totally watch that over some unobtanium supercar. But I doubt if majority of others will :(

On the previous C class, the bottom of the door isn‘t made out of cheap plastic
And in the previous model, the armrest in the back had storage
I'd love to see Doug do a section or separate channel on reviewing car accessories.
Dashcams, car stereos, alarms, obd2 devices, etc. Feel like they would be entertaining and informative. He gives good opinions!
Second that
"Aaaaand THISSS is the Weathertech Cup Phone, a cupholder phone holder for your phone, not cups."
Really, touch screens can be good as a supplement, but not the main way of controlling things. Give us back the knobs for controlling the volume and climate system!
I support you, do I have to stop my car to adjust climate? Or simply make some adjustments to what am listening to?
Mercedes climate controls are really easy to use because they are so big despite it being on a screen
The horrible feeling of them getting extremely hot when the car is parked or just when the sun is shining while you drive
Thank you Doug for your amazing reviews
I work for Enterprise while studying and I recently drove one. The new c class is truly fantastic
Moving to high-output turbo 4 cylinders for the new performance versions is a mistake. Horsepower isn't everything, and at the end of the day, a 4 cylinder is still a 4 cylinder.
Well, it's not like Mercedes gives a fuck about reliability since it'll be out of warranty after the first owner's lease runs out.
you are correct its still a crap 4 cylinder...how bout a small 6 cylinder and get rid of those crappy tacked on screens inside?
@@SuperBooboo02 the new e63s might go 6 cyl turbo hybrid
Still waiting of a long full video of you offroading your defender. Also the review of the 130 defender.
First C-class was the 190. Just wasnt called that at the time. But the "first" C directly replaced the 190. If the 190 had continued to 1994 it would have been renamed that year to C. Just like the w124 was.
The 190 was the model W201. The first C-Class was the model W202 - so yes, the W202 directly replaced the W201. But calling the 190 (W201) the "first C-Class" is still wrong, since it was exclusively marketed as the 190. "C-Class" is a name - and it was first coined for the W202, so that's the first C-Class by definition. You wouldn't call the Beetle "the first Golf" either, just because one replaced the other?
@@xBris There's a bigger difference between the Beetle and the Golf than the W201 and W202. You can clearly see the evolution from the W201 to the W202. Park a Beetle next to a Golf Mk1 and they look like they're 40 years apart.
@@xBris No its correct calling it the first C-class since it was the first C-class in all practical real world meaning. The ONLY way it wasnt was in the naming scheme at the time. And nothing else. Haf nothing to do with the car itself. Had it been manufactured for one more year it would have changed name to C that year. Since all of MB:s models got that name change then. Regardless if new model or existing. What do you think is most relevant? What you call something or what it actually is in all practical real world sense? Tehy would have called it the C if it had remained 2 more years like the w124 did.
No, the Golf didnt replace the Beetle. It was not the successor to the Beetle in any way design or purpose wise. Completely new design philosophy and segment. It got a successor much later. The beetle was also manufactured after the Golf came out. The C though was a direct successor and derivative from the 190 which ended prodution as the next gen replaced it.
Its exactly the same with the w124. It just happened to live 2 years longer so it existed att the change of the naming scheme. The w210 was in the EXACT same way the succesor to the w124 as the w202 was to the w201. No difference at all.
@@xBris bro the 190 is a C class. end of argument.
I was planning on getting a 2019 E53 or CLS due to them having the Mild Hybrid motors, but Mercedes putting this on a 4 cylinder turbo changes everything! This is for sure going to be my next car! Gonna be zippin' around in this due to the extra torque!
Its not a 4 liter engine, but a 4 cylinder engine.

Also Doug: “I’ve ditched the bottom shirt for the summer months but I will continue to piss off PDI techs across Southern California with all the sweat I leave behind.”
The floor here is made out of floor
Doug really doesn’t know common car features on mainstream cars. My Mazda 3 has a 360 camera and that’s significantly less than a C class
I still remember when Doug found it incredible when a car had heated cloth seats and said he only ever saw heated seats on leather seats… must be a Canadian versus American thing tho.
My Vauxhall Corsa from 2016 had heated cloth seats, and that car is probably worth no more than £4-6k today
@@wiktorkawala6298 my mate has a 2011 Corsa SE that has heated steering wheels and heated cloth seats lol
Just like my 2001 Skoda Beat up car for Winter. 😆
These cars are great, I just got a ‘22 c300 4matic, pinnacle trim, and it’s a great car. Fully loaded, Patagonia red with a black Nappa leather interior. Gorgeous car, great to drive and comfortable. Major upgrade from my ‘19 a220 4matic and my 2010 c300
Correction: the C43 will have a little over 400hp compared to 385hp on the previous model year, not 500
I'm just glad new cars still get made, not everything is a crossover yet.
But if Doug reviewed an old crossover from 1990s people are gonna say that they are excited to watch that over a hypercar 😡

I actually still like having navigation built-in. I don't use it over apple maps on carplay, but it's there if I drive somewhere where I am not getting any cell phone reception. There have been situations like this in the past that led me to drive for hours with no idea where I was going until I finally got some reception.
Google maps lets you download broad area maps to save to your phone and they auto update. I haven't had an issue navigating without signal.

Best infotainment system in the market by far
Hey Doug, you should add half points to your Doug scores. For example, you say the c class has a little more comfort and a is a slightly better daily driver than the 3 series, though they scored the same daily score
I love watching you test drive most of all lol😅

We have the 2020 version of this exact car. Same AMG package.
We love it, and would consider another.
The technology is great and overall it's a nice looking C class, but I still think that the best looking C class is the facelift version of W204. It's just perfect from every angle.
I have been anxiously waiting for this review even though mat Watson did it. But at that time the price was not out. My dad is planning on buying one.
Buy Tesla Y model.
Doug's the kind of guy who forgets his own Doug Score. Says that the C class is the leader of its segment, but ranks its direct competitor,, the BMW 330i, three points higher.
Yeah but he said in the video that it's not an incredibly sport-focused car. BMW is and got more points in handling and fun-factor
For new cars like this you should go into more detail about how Carplay and Android Auto are integrated. On which screens do they run and do they work wirelessly or just with a cable?
Pretty sure I'm not the only one who missed those details.
Just happy that the 3 series still reigns supreme on the DougScore chart 😌
The C-Class has definitely come a long way
no lol 2009 c clsss was the best lookin, now they ugly and copy audis taillights
long way right into the trash, big sigh.
These new Mercedes models look bland and boring. They have lost their character. The W204 was the pinnacle of C Class. Best looks, NA 6.2 V8 in the AMG and not too many redundant electronic gadgets that increase weight and decrease reliability
@@L4ftyOne I agree the w204 was arguably the best looking C class chassis also the last c class to offer a 3.5 V6
Yes, Germany.
Doug talks materials, but never talks interior quality. Many car reviews say MB have creaky and shaky interiors. They say Teslas have the worst build quality.
Mercedes did have shaky interior for a little bit. I just upgraded into this new c class from my 2017 c class, and in the 2017 anywhere you put pressure on the dash or center console or anywhere really, it would squeak and creak like crazy. The new one tho I have to admit it’s much better. Probably because there’s screens covering most of where my old cars center console was haha
I feel that a lot of new car interiors are squeaky and creepy; but the noises I don’t think are indicative of strength or durability of the material
I test drove the new one recently here in Germany and I was pretty disappointed. Being a new car there wasn't any creaking or rattling but boy was there a lot of hard and scratchy plastic lower down. Even the trim, which looks nice, sounded hollow and brittle, exactly what you would expect to start rattling/creaking after some time. And even the metallic-looking air events felt super plastic-y. Funny you should mention the Tesla because I also drove a '22 Model 3 LR and I felt the materials were more solid and dense. The quality also stretched lower down.
Tesla uses Mercedes parts inside
@@jake8793 With Tesla, I was just talking over all, inside and out compared to other lux brands.
They killed it with this one 👍👍
Love this car - navigation, don’t care. Rear chargers, don’t care. Power trunk, yep. MB knows their customer. Gorgeous car and a huge step forward for the model.
I’m with you up to a point. I feel like an idiot watching my trunk open and close electrically. I don’t get the appeal of that needless weight and complexity, especially on a small sedan. Am I missing something?
@@gregmcable It’s a luxury car. I want luxuries. No OEM navigation is better than Apple CarPlay. Rear seat power is negligible, at least for me (no kids). Power trunk makes the difference between a C class and a Camry.
@@gregmcable I guess it's just a bad look for a brand like Mercedes (and at the Mercedes price) to have a non-power assist trunk. I think it's annoying too but for the times your hands are full or you need to let someone else use the trunk it is handy.
My wife has the previous generation (and had the one before that recently). This really looks more like a generation refresh than a new generation. It's bigger, but just minor style updates, engine tune and screens. Hers has navigation, and I like having it. It works even when my phone occasionally doesn't. That said, it looks better than Mazda's navigation, but is functionally worse. I'd still get the option buying new, but I understand skipping it. I also didn't care for the power trunk, but my wife loves it. The moment she realized it had a foot sensor she was sold. She loves not having to free a hand or touch the rear of the car (salty in winter) to open and close the trunk. The real selling point for us though is how short-person friendly the car is. She's 4'-10" (147cm for the sensible people) and it's one of the few cars where she can get a comfortable driving position without losing circulation in her legs. Unsurprisingly, she's also the buyer that considers memory seats as a requirement for purchase. Yeah, some of their options should be standard, and some dealers order some frankly stupid specs, but they're nice when you get one with the right options (and ignore the repair bills).

True. Although the look does improve if you pay for the Thermotronic 4-zone climate control because then you get control back there as well.
Mercedes have had this for years.. can't for the life of me work out why
Built in Navigation and the rear charge ports missing is probably part of the Chip shortage . A lot of cars are coming in with options missing and removed from the price of the car ,( S-classes without massage seats). I work for a dealer and we’re now just getting retrofit recalls for options back in due to the chip shortage .
It actually comes with USB charging ports for the back seats (have to pull down to reveal) and also you have the option to get navigation.
Beautiful car. Sounds like a good deal. 4cyl turbo is questionable but better on the pocketbook. ❤👍😎🤑
thats why i kept my V6 C350 lol
Merc 4cylinders dont seem to do very well after like 130k miles, but by then they're probably on like their 3rd owner
@@redriver15262 a friend of mine still has a 2014 e250d wagon, on around 140k and still going strong
@@jake8793 we dont get the diesels in America unfortunately, just the 4Cyl petrol engines which are inferior in my opinion
The new C63 AMG will have 670 hp and 553 lbft of torque combined.
There is also a station wagon version in Europe and some other markets outside of North America.
Of course the wagon isnt coming to the states unfortunately. People dont like them here
That’s rather a boosted “C20 AMG”. No V8, even no 6 cylinder engine
@@mattmekhaeil This is very obvious Sherlock. Americans aren’t really big on wagons anyways. But Canada used to get the wagon C-Klasse. They’re not selling it there anymore.
I feel bad for Americans that they don’t have many wagon options like Japan or Europe. So if you want a station wagon Mercedes in the states, the E-Klasse wagon is your only choice.
@@abejacobs6345 I do feel like Mercedes is ruining the C63 AMG by taking out the V8 and putting in a 4cyl PHEV.
@@DaveDVideoMaker - in the European policies of the last 20 years of "sticking it to Putin" (check Real Life Lore's YT doc on the matter from several weeks ago) there's NO REMEDY than to do things like this (no Global Warming or Climate Change to bear, just to NOT use Putin's cronies fuels).
Those will be THE LAST PERFORMANCE HYBRIDS Mercedes will make before integrating AMG into the EQC (BEV C-Class) line down the road.
I bought a 2019 c300 w the amg package and it's a great daily driver imo. 👌
Looks sleek and beautiful 😍
Doug type of guy who goes to church ⛪ on Sunday and secretly watch carsandbids after communion.

You men are disrespectful and can't seem to accept that everyone has their own opinions. Did you parents taught you to be disrespectful?
RUclips should get rid of the comment section in their new update, so people can't comment anymore.
What do you mean? Seems like it recognized it each time first try
One day, Imma have it one day...one day, we gon get it one day 🙏✨
Charge ports for the back seats are in the center armrest, included in the "Advanced USB Package" totaling $300 USD.
Such a nice car from the inventors of the automobile! The C class always was a car to move the normal guy. Even if the S Class and others are magnificent automobiles, the c class hits a soft spot for me, it was the first mercedes i bought from my own money back in the days…Sadly doug missed many items like the augmented reality navigation or the new, extended ambient lighting, just to name two… (Navigation IS standard, i just checked, so i don’t know where doug has his info from - maybe it’s market related? The US might have other choices than Canada, the EU, china, etc)
In the US at least, normal people don't drive C-Classes. A Honda Accord is a normal people's car. A no option base trim C-Class is still more expensive than the nicest Accord. The C-Class is still a luxury car for people with extra money.
@@bwofficial1776 yeah, in the US. In Europe these things are everywhere. Every country is different. For example a F150 is a rare breed here, and very expensive (i just checked, a run down version from 1999 with a small engine will cost you over 10.000 dollars here, with very hefty insurance and tax costs every year). The US is 4% of the world’s population even the EU with 6% is bigger, not to speak from china or india. What might be cheap where you live is a luxury here, and vise versa. I personally never owned a V8, it’s a livelong dream of me I never put trough because of the high costs here. But I owned multiple quite new Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen, which might be a luxury in the US, but not here 😉
@@erebostd Definitely not a normal guy car wherever you live, you my guy are just lucky that you never had to go through hard life.
Mercedes cars are thousands cheaper in Germany than in the US.
Here in the US navigation is standard only on the pinnacle trim cars, but it also comes with augmented reality which is really nice. My c300 pinnacle has it, it’s a game changer.
It's a huge bummer for the C63 to no longer carry the V8. Will the new one be faster? Probably... but it will probably lack character.
Too soon to tell though, maybe it will be absolutely amazing in the driving department and somehow manage to beat Porsche in driving dynamics.
A 4 cylinder… yikes
It will have 680 hp and more torque and 4matic so it’s definitely going to be faster than the previous C63.
@@homiixide a turbo 4 cylinder putting out those numbers is a huge headache waiting to happen
@@nestornieves9822 450 hp from the hand built 4 cylinder M139 engine (that’s in the 45 models) and hybrid engine that fills up the rest.
@@nestornieves9822 does it really matter how many cylinders this car has? I am fine with one cylinder so long as it is adequate. Sound you can pipe in. Engines would have different power delivery within the RPM range, sure, but for automatics power delivery is irrelevant.
whats an overall family 7 seater in your opinion-budget friendly
Very interesting gesticulation and articulation :D Thought it would be annoying but I actually enjoyed it
With things like a missing Navigation map (which I kinda agree with since AA and ACP will help if it's a good system) and a gauge cluster screen that isn't very adjustable (something Doug has definitely criticized many automakers especially in recent videos) it feels like he is being very forgiving of the things this car doesn't offer as expensive as it is while he wouldn't be for other cars. When it comes to tech or lack thereof at least
He always picks and chooses things like that. I never take his advice/opinions seriously. Literally only watch this channel to see the vehicles.
I have a 2021 ford with built in navigation. Never used it because ACP.
I’m sure MB has collected data off their customers and realized nobody is using their Nav system and decided to cut it off to save development money.
You know Cars and Bids is doing well when Doug is overly excited when saying the name
Yap
trash webiste
that interior is gorgeous.
Doug, maybe I missed it. What's up with the black flange around the outside of the wheels? Does it improve aero?
Came down to the comments to post about those wheels. I'm surprised that Doug didn't mention them as a "quirk", as they are odd looking to me. I bet you're right about them being designed that way for aerodynamics.
Too bad MB raised their rates in Canada from 3.79 to now 7.64% while BMW is still 3.99 and Audi is 4.48. Hard pass. Was in the market for a CLA45 and wasn't worth getting screwed on the rates.
That tells you they don't think the values will hold up when they get returned.
They don’t have banks in canada?
@@compaqdeskpro5770 Bro I have a old beige Deskpro and it’s still running good. Win98se and XP on a SSD.
compaq deskpro yep not a good sign at all. Same thing happening at the MB dealerships near me in the US
You could pay it off quicker too. Or get a loan from a bank. Or pay cash.
Nice car, I’ll be getting one for me and my wife! Thanks doug for your review.
I like that car. Good video, Doug.
So is there any compelling reason to get one of these over an Accord Touring or Model 3 Long Range?
In person it's really hard to differentiate it from an A-class sedan, especially from the rear.
For some reason it looks shorter in person too compare to the last gen
All Mercedes seem to be struggling to have any identity for me. It's getting kinda boring to look at.
@@One_don2612 one was parked next to my w205 yesterday it’s definitely bigger you spot the difference easily in the size
Have you ever seen them side by side? There's definitely a difference lol
@@tati-anaroseee4316 in person but not side by side, on its own I thought it was a A class until I saw the c300 badge
Nice car but very plain looking, maybe some better wheels would help
Great video
600 hp out of a turbo 4 cylinder? That better be the beefiest 4 banger ever made or there will be problems out the ass
It's a German car. We all know how poorly it will turn out lmao
@@baronvonjo1929 haha right
Koenigsegg pulled 600HP out of a 3 cylinder engine
@@notsaab
But that is a whole different class, this Mercedes is an everyday car lol
This car looks great in person. The camera doesnt come close to doing it justice. As I continue to mature I realize that Mercedes has always known classically tasteful lines and this year is no different. See a clean one in person to give it a fair chance!
The grille is heinous and almost as awful as the new G80 series BMW.
@@rickracer78 We're not discussing your mum here.
@@rickracer78 Unfortunate for your case, I think the G80 grille was a wonderful decision by BMW. In just a couple years people will be loving the grille
