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?

54,000 dollars should cover at least one usb port for back seats.
You better believe it Omar!
Hey @omar cortes what about the top part of the 2023 Mercedes C300 like Joe Raiti was saying about?
Extra 300 u got it
Its a mercedes bro. This isnt a lexus or acura. You know mercedes never has what every other car company has for the same price. You buy a mercedes for comfort and luxury at a high price
Ain’t nobody paying 54k for a little ass c class
I think the rear cup holder needs to be pressed twice to access the cup holder
That’s correct
Man I was looking for some new reviews on the C300 and CLA this morning but couldn't find what I'm looking for and bam! You brought us this one! Thank you Raiti, you're always my top favorite car review channel!
That means the world! I’m so glad that I can bring it to you!
Get the AMG trim, so much nicer.
Great color.....it's hard to find a nice blue. I actually think it looks great with a parchment leather, too.
I've never been a huge Mercedes fan but I'm certain this is the best looking C-Class ever.
Plus, the fuel economy is pretty impressive for the performance
Best car reviewer. Detailed, knows how to transition from negatives to positives, and hilarious 😂
That really means so much! Thank you for being so supportive.

Manifesting 1 million subs for you this year. You deserve it and work so hard. Love to Lori ❤️
That is so awesome of you to do! THANK YOU!
Amazing video as always, keep it up! Currently watching this one while eating New Year’s feast leftovers 😁
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
Mercedes definitely the most luxurious, but bmw got the best driving experience.
Steven is truly a brave heart. He didn't flinched a bit when Joe spinning the car right onto him everytime head-on. Lol.😂
(What's happened @14:43 !? 🤣)
He is the man with the plan!
First i wish you a healthy happy New year Raiti's and an great year forcthis channel and lets hope for more grear car news and reviews for 2023.
Ths Mercedes-Benz it looks Lively like it soo much.
Thankyou and wish you a great day!! Greetz From the Netherlands
Thank you so much for your support! Happy New Year to you!
Zonks aside, Mercedes cars look sooooo good in blue, especially in dark blue. That colour just POPS!!
I totally agree with you!
And that sky blue looks great on BMWs
I’m absolutely in love with this blue,what a beauty. Great job as always joe and Steven. 😊😊😊
Thanks man!
Beautiful color, Joe!
Now if they could only incorporate those screens into the dashboard and center console.
My wife got hers last week❤ You should DEFINITELY film a night/dusk drive video with with this car. The ambient lighting is UNREAL!! The sales guy actually asked us to show up at dusk for the test drive just so we could witness the lighting. The ambient lighting alone will make you want to buy this car!! No Black, White or Silver color Joe... She went with the Patagonia Red & is loving it. GREAT VID as always!👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for this info.
That red looks incredible. What color is the interior?
@@jdez095 black with grey suede/alcantara running up the middle.
@@dniketown1what do yall do for work im young and im looking to really make some money in life
@@Bleseddd1good goal kido - I drive a school bus and bought a 2023 lease return it was only 7 months old win-win. And just so you know some dealerships offer 1.99 0/0 financing on preowned. Good luck with your dream you can do this.
Oh man! Your zonks on the exhaust is soooooo correct! Plus, they look WAY TOO LARGE for a vehicle of this size.
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.
I have a CLA 2020. Thinking of upgrading to this next year but would like the matte grey color
Alright Joe another job well done. 👏 Great job Mr Flood. Again, another color that I absolutely love. I heard 2023 is going to be the year of the midsized truck Joe!
We will find out for sure!
@Raiti's Rides If you think about it Joe, you have the redesigned Colorado AND Canyon on its way. I think the Ridgeline and probably Tacoma might get a redesign. Lets throw in the Ranger in there as well. And can't forget that RAM might bring back the Dakota......A lot on the plate so to speak.
@@DarkJediChrisG-1425 No this is very true! Lets see what actually comes to market.
@Raiti's Rides Joe the legend will always bring it to us!
I have 2022 C300, and there are 2 USB ports below the A/C vents. Also, there are 2 cup holders on the rear armrest. You push in twice, and the cup holders will pop out.
Great stuff Joe. Nice car. I agree that they need some USB’s in the back seat area. Overall, I like the car. Thanks for bringing it to us.
You can add it for 300 which I personally think is stupid
I enjoyed the double zonk on the fake exhaust. great energy.
The pinstripes are stunning!! Incredibly impressive interior although I wish the seats had a splash of black. I’m sold.
Killing it as usual god damn raiti
Excellent review! Thank you. 🚙
You are so very welcome Jason!
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍 💯💯
I love your “all right guys” transitions
Nice car and review but I still prefer the simple instrument cluster of the 2022 A220. I also have some concern that one has to look down to view the display screen, otherwise good upgrade.
I can’t pick either one Joe, I absolutely love my BMW’s and Mercedes. I really love this one though and not many zonks I got on it.
This blue looks too good 🥺 thanks for the video Joe🙂
You are so very welcome Kay!
I would like to see one in Emerald Green..matte or shiny. But this one is nice too...the inside POPS too...nice.
Hey buddy in the rear seat if you would have pressed that phone holder in halfway it would have popped out the rear cup holders also you can opt for the rear power accessories for plug and play. It took me a while to find the cup holders as well
Is it an extra package or up-charge to get the USB’s in the back? Kinda crazy that a $53,000 Mercedes doesn’t have those as standard.
@@watchreport This 100%. The USB’s in the back should be standard in a car at this price point.
Honestly, I really like the 2017 to 2018. Tail Lights they look like teardrops.
Keep doing your thing man
Great review! I actually think the exterior is too generic on this new version but the interior is very cool.
I agree the exterior could be sportier! a little basic but I still love it overall.
Great review. Almost pulled the trigger on one,The wife wants a coupe so gonna wait for the cle coupe hopefully they release it sooner than later
That should be really interesting to see how it pans out Tommy! Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
Great review but please do one on the C43 AMG & 63 editions
Benz- thanks to the ft driver seat extension/leg support is one of the most comfortable drivers seats every- you failed to mention them but a great feature many luxury cars don't have.
Enjoy your videos.
That is really wonderful!
Awesome job Joe. You stand alone, none better.
Thanks for having my back Brian!
For those who want to keep up with the Jones. Big zonk for the 2 liter in line 4 engine. Should be a 3.0L V6.
Nice - Waiting for the 2023 GLC redesign 😊
You and me both Michele!
My god that exterior color is heavenly! I love Blue and this color is so amazing! My head turns everytime I see a car that is Blue. It's not common so nice to see on the road always.
This is my dream sedan! Nice review Joe.
Thanks Jeremiah! I can see you cruising in this one.
@@RaitisRidesYou're welcome Joe.
in this video can see ur driving skill.even is short drive, can read right away. the car has good visible.
My daughter just bought one in Sarasota on New years Eve. Love her Panoramic roof
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.
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.
That's a fantastic car and the blue is spot on. The price isn't too bad also. 👍🔵
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
Its trash
Great review and beautiful car. How is the right knee room for you in the driver's seat? It looks like the large center console intrudes on the driver's space a bit.
It actually is not a problem!
I bought the 2022 model with white exterior and red interior. What changed for the 2023 model? Seems the same to me.
That blue does goes good with the Cyber orange.
The new 2023 Mercedes-benz C300 is the new Apostle to the German Ruro luxury Sedans I love the way it looks@
You nailed it Luis!
@@RaitisRides Joe level with me. I’m 19 and am getting ready to purchase a 230i what else should I be looking at in the same price range?
@@RaitisRides Yeah I like the way it looks, yeah it's not perfect but who gives an Apostle about it?
Happy New Year Joe
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Mercedes Benz GLE AMG 63 S 4MATIC Thank You Your A Good CZcamsr I Like To Watch Your Video
I am actually editing it right now!
Great review Joe this merc is pretty damn gorgeous in blue
You just don't see to many this color!
@@RaitisRides You really don't honestly lol this car is in a league of its own in terms of looks imo
A nice looking car
Love that paint job too
This car is amazing. The wait was long but worth it when it finally arrived. Had it for about a month now. Love it
How's the none functional exhaust tips on your brand new 2023 c class?
@@starzgonzales4358 I think this car is just cheesy. If you’re gonna own a Benz you should be able to afford one. This is for people that can’t afford a real luxury Mercedes and unfortunately, many people laugh at these dumb down versions of a Mercedes. I wonder how safe people feel driving around with no spare? I couldn’t even imagine. Blow outs and running over a nail/road debris or whatever, is something that can happen anytime/anywhere. Not being prepared for that is nonsensical, especially in a Benz. 😂
@@chrisjenkins203these days a leaking non-RFT can run more than a hundred miles with no problem.
Blue is my favorite color but I would get this car in grey or white with red interior good video joe
Now we are talking! You are so very welcome Antonio!
I work for MB there is connectivity for the back! It’s hidden under the ac vents
Good review! but you miss out the cup holder on the rear arm rest.
I'm glad to see less sacrificial Dead Pedals. We don't need pedals dying just to be there.
i think if you press the pen/phone holder again cup holders come out
Raitis is the best!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to say that!
I think there’s supposed to be connectivity in the back but most people get it credited due to it being missing because of the chip shortage
That is really sad!
Love the blue....looks great!
Leg & spits 😂 love it
I love the color, factory wheels and interior with infotainment system would purchase this over the BMW a luxury car for sure.
I’m so glad you are digging this one!
@@RaitisRides I am especially my favorite color and interior design ... man that's a nice ride.
@@ramoncarter6585 That is so awesome my friend!
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. The interior's excellent and the white leather really makes the other details stand out. But the iPad styled dashboard interface, and less so no manual transmission, would send me elsewhere. M2?
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
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.
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.
That is so wonderful Timothy! I really appreciate you sharing that!
I have 2022 Pinnacle trim and I love it!
Great review! Does that dealership have a "Market Value Adjustment" for any of the those vehicles? Basically where I Live, I have to pay 5k to 10k before I can even look at a Mercedes. Or the sticker price has a 5K to 10K Market Value Adjustment where I have to pay that before I can pay the MSRP. Albuquerque NM.
They made it so good that you don’t even need an S-Class this car is really more than enough
I am so glad that you think so!
@@RaitisRides
Thanks!
Great video as always
@@omaralkayal7598 of course! You are so very welcome!
Mercedes is still selling plenty of S classes.
I really would have liked to see you sit behind yourself in the back seat given the car is compact in size. That would’ve given me more clarity about the interior. Great review though👌🏾
i didnt even realize he just dropped this video
Surprise Kris! Thanks for being here!
I think the rear cup holder needs to be pressed twice to access the cup holder
54,000 dollars should cover at least one usb port for back seats.
The rear does have cup holders . U have to push it twice the first slot is to hold things like phones or whatever else may fit.
That is interesting!
13:00 You can get 4 way climate control but it’s not standard. You also have cup holders in the back but you have the push the lid twice for the cup holders to pop out.
It should come standard at this price!
3:00 my man staring the new year (2023) with bloopers 😂😂😂
Sometimes you just have to roll with it!
I love this wheels 😍 and this color 😍
Looks great but from what I heard the front seats are quite small. Is that true? That would make it a no go for me being 6'2. But I love the look of it. That ambient lighting package wow. Pretty cool. I'd also love to see the 300d make it's way over here. 260 diesel horsepower and that low consumption would be welcomed with open arms. At least at our household.
It is VERY tight. I own a 2021 but, got a 2023 as a loaner and hated how close my legs are to the dash and could not lower the seat as much as I can in my car.
Can you get us the 2023 mercedes-benz cla amg 35 review
This is one of my favorite "when I get a pile of money I want this" cars.
That is so awesome David! I am so glad that I could bring this one to you!
You don't need a pile of money, it's called financing.
@@Rocket9944 With interest rates these days, I'm a cash buyer.
I got that car in black, it’s the best color for it
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.
Rear USB ports are available in the $300 "Advanced USB Package"
By looking at this car it still makes me wanna go for the G70 instead. The only thing about Genesis is I wanted white seats but the ones they have still works. The amenities in the G70 is better than the C300
Awesome review,beautiful car but zonk on the fake exhaust tips
Tell me about it! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Amazing presentation
This car is really nice especially the interior. Even though i like my w205 c300 exterior more the exterior isnt that much far off
With Mercedes putting 4 cylinders in everything and charging stupid prices for it I'd say no
When is the new GLC arriving in Florida?
Gorgeous car. Might treat myself for my 45th.
That would be a =very nice treat!
Benz is always beautiful they sweet the details
excellent review Mr. Raiti
Thank you for this review. I was thinking the C300 this year but the zonks got me. Fake pipes, no charger for my kids and even worse no cup holders in the back for my kids. Wth! It’s nice for the driver but passengers can hang it up. Lol! No fun for the passenger, no food and no technology. Road trips will suck lol!
It actually does have a cup holder in the back. It’s a 2-stage function. One press and it’s a phone holder, second press and the cup holders come out. But I agree with you the other issues make this a no-go all day. Honestly, it’s like a Mercedes w/o all of the things that make a Mercedes what it’s supposed to be. I find this vehicle extremely lacking, all around.
Dope wheels but no cup holders in the arm rest in back seat oh my gracious.....
Tell me about it!
LOL. My grandfather hade a Mercedes in his garage too. Model 1940 but he couldn't drive it. It belonged to Gestapo. The next door neighbor. In those days there was no TV on the dash board and they came only in black. A true story....
Oh wow that is awesome! Thanks for sharing Tomas!
As someone who drives a 1999 corolla I feel the technological jump and luxury jump is daunting
This is a beautiful sedan minus the light interior. A 43 version in this color would be awesome. I do wish yourself and other reviewers would start including the Alfa Guilia in their comparisons. It's a car that I don't think gets near enough attention and is an amazing driving car. Great job as always Joe.
Hard to review a car that spends more time at the mechanic
@@ChokingMyChicken my friend’s Giulia was a complete disaster. Was able to return it via the Lemon Law here in Florida. He got his deposit back plus 8 months of payments which was nice but breaking down every few weeks was a joke.
I have a 2015 c300 i love it but i wish it had this interior
Do you prefer this interior or Bmw G20 LCI?
That no USB in the back means this is basically a 2 seater with storage in the back seat. Unacceptable.
Can you do c300 coupe and bmw 230i review?
