This is the newly updated Mercedes C-Class! It’s one of the most recognisable executive saloons around, and it's a direct rival to both the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4! The question is, with so many modern-day saloons being built to such a high quality, does the C-Class offer enough for you to overlook the competition? Join Mat in his latest in-depth review to find out!

The success of this channel is crazy thanks to Matt! Has hit the roof since the original Top Gear died. One of the most enjoyable motoring journalists to watch in recent years.
Almost at Doug Demuro level
@@rasmusivarsson1469 wannabe Big Bang theory geek. got nothking' on matt 🇬🇧
Carwow, Carfection, Top Gear(only the parts with Chris Harris) and TheStraightPipes (more for entertainment) are pretty decent imho.
True, but he seems rather biased at times... which is something I dislike in a motoring journalist. The thing is that technology in the car industry constantly moves forward and then you have people like Jeremy Clarkson with his constant idiotic jabs at electric vehicles or hybrids who have a problem keeping up with the times. I think he looks like a complete fool in hindsight. And this will probably get worse as time moves on and more and more awesome hybrids and EVs hit the market.
Matt's bias towards Diesel engines is similarly annoying.
The Diesel engine's dead. Has been for years. Laws and regulations will soon make it illegal to produce them and shortly after it will be illegal to drive them. So advising people to buy a Diesel at this point in time is quite frankly shocking to me.
After the death of the Diesel we will see the death of the regular petrol engines and then all that remains are hybrids and EVs.
Which is a good thing, I think.
Not just for environmental reasons but also because EVs already drive better than most combustion engine cars and will get even better in the future. As soon as we have cheap light weight batteries no one will wanna buy a combustion car anyway.

Abdullah Z haha yes that fakery is so lame, guess Mat would not even be able to put his stick inside
@@Justin-ml8id ikr just have no exhaust design if you are gonna do that the hell. This couldn't sound less sexual as it seems at all btw lmao

This is actually very original. Good job.

When Mat gets knighted, he should request to be done so with the stick of truth.
3:26 ---> The Infamous Blinking Man - Mat Watson style! :)
Thanos : you can't defeat me.
Avengers : we know but he can,

With Ant-Man on the end.
I think you mean stick of truth
@@afras9433 lol, sorry a typo
😂😂😂😂
These thanos and avengers jokes are so overused and unfunny
Mat 2019 - "metalicy expensivy bits"
More metallicy expensivy bits
Even softy on the doorbins
Didn’t he say metallic expensivy bits
I was looking for some else to enjoy that moment with! Matt’s a trip! 😂😂
There's just no other more 'us' way of saying it lol
I find myself looking for the softy softy touch of the dashboard material when I ride other people's cars, thanks to Mat Watson from Carwow
Hahah same
i start scratching and tapping the materials
@@twentyone2183 all the damn time
Same, my dad thinks I look like an idiot
Same, people thinks i am crazy:)
When Mat takes his date back to his place for a test drive: checks the "centre console" for any wobble... Do those knickers go all the way down? oh yes they do! Now for the stick of truth...
The comments section of carwow videos are always good for a chuckle.
I'm disappointed - he didnt mention BMWs idrive system is this video
Me too,
I think he realized it’s becoming a meme, and to be fair it is pretty superfluous to mention it everytime he gets near a motor vehicle
It the best on the market tho
@@eriksrensen9869 but one can't deny the i-drive being the most superior infotainment system in the market
@@misterpepe8 It isn't. The new MBUX is. Far superior to Idrive.
Mat: *goes on a plane’s screen*
Mat: It’s not as good as BMW:s iDrive
😜😅
He's not wrong, though. 🤷♂️
Well it is the best tho
I had a 2016 C200, and it was near flawless, surprisingly fun to drive too, especially in the wet when the tail will step out.
C class nearly reached its prime, it's already super good rn 👏
And I prefer this interior to the new A class. Feels more premium
It's meant to be more premium than the A class.
it is better for less tech savvy people (most merc buyers i guess)
ya it like its evolved into the perfect form that it could be. beautiful car.
but it reaching EOL
and we are ready for the new c class
While mercedes keeps on deleting features from c class, motorised steering wheel adjustment is missing.
Premium = screens
Thats the logic these days.....
3:05 The 2020 base spec gets halogen headlights??! Whenever i see a 2017+ C Class with halogens it just looks soo bad
Like more h7 because I'm poor
Well the price also probably goes down accordingly
It's because the old people want halogens probably. Who buy these the most. They want as little amount of accessories as possible. Especially here in Finland. They buy a Mercedes Benz and pay nothing for accessories.
Manakuski you don’t necessarily need to buy any extras for a Mercedes. It’s already a fully equipped high performance vehicle.
Manakuski no one wants halogen. A lot of people won’t pay thousands for lights either. If you pay for options, you will just be throwing even more money down the drain, if you get new cars often you would need to sacrifice things and never get any options or you are just spending £2000 for let’s say Full LED lights which the second owners will get for free

nappy 420 nice
Well done Mat for seeing the lighter side of reviewing cars and still keeping us all well informed . Keep it up .
Matt is killing it with these reviews. 100% best on CZcams
I had the pleasure to live with one. It’s such a great car. The features are great and rides like a cloud. The interior is posh too.
Did you sell it?
very good car reviews this is my favourite UK car channel watching this from Australia
I love watching Matt doing these reviews because you get a giggle along the way...very entertaining!
1:15 Matt looks like my teacher walking around the classroom with a cane
She never said that i look impressive though.
I do have at the moment c class 2020 as a replacement car with massive options list , but the biggest suprise for me was the super bright lights at night and as you mentioned easy gear changing selector .
Love the longer reviews without separate practicality etc review.
Matt, I literally love your reviewing style! You are amazing!!!
I have been a Mercedes fan for a long time already and I still really love these amazing; luxury cars. Thank you very much for this awesome review of this awesome car!😊
Thanks a lot Matt! Just used this video for boot space as i was bringing family to airport, knew i could always count on you Matt! Thanks!
i really love the facelift c class. took a c63 and c43 for drive at my dealer. the 43 is very balanced suitable for an average driver while c63 is a raging bull which will kill you if you are not an experienced driver, its more fun though. that v8 rumble even at 50 percent throttle is breathtaking.
only a really shit driver gets killed by the car he drives
Excellent work Matt.Your style is just awesome
Matt, its been more than 10 years i have been following you even though i was in india and them moved to Australia. I really like the way you do the reviews and there are only few who can match. Really fan...
Good luck mate👍
Ever since I was looking into the c class coupe u guys do a vid on it
Real exhausts on a merc: Caught you by surprise, haven’t I
I've barely watched any car reviews but this one was funny, clear and concise. I guess I found a new hobby and a channel to feed it.
This review was satisfying. Thanks mate.
Did anyone else suffer from a panic attack when this man kept swinging that stick so close to the paint work?
Mats friend-what’s your job.
Mat-Poking cars with a stick🙂
Cricketer23 real funny dick breath
The one and only car review channel I follow 👌🏽
I really enjoyed how matey was describing the car in detail really interested in getting a c class one day
Loved it....by starting the video by the iconic dialogue "this is the....." Lol
He says it way less annoyingly than demuro
@@visionist7 you said it
On the Mazda when Matt had to fold down the seats manually he made a big deal of how annoying it was but on the Merc he casually does it and mentioned how much space you get. Also, he doesn't mention the lack of spare wheel which is usually a talking point.
The Mercedes is a sedan so it is fine
Love your videos
Still waiting for a proper a35 saloon video though!
I love it when Mat said "the best or nothing" and his face expression at 1:47.
That robot faced air vent is cute 😂
9:07
I still like this C class look when compared to the new more angular A class saloon / CLA. Sounds like a great car overall
The difference between the C Class and the CLA is that, with the later you are able to scratch its cruncy, while the former you just press on it, it’s too soft hihi.. Really awesome.. tq bro. 😬💪
Hi just wanted to say thank you for this great video. I got delivery of a C220d in same colour loved your video and was delighted to note that I have the pull down levers in the booth. I am so delighted that I can take my road bike in my car because I absolutely love riding my bike even more than the new car! And I get hay fever so great to know it's pollen filtered too.
strange how the 2019 A class has more hi tech of an interior than the 2020 c class
Zaib Javed C Class is 2014 car and A class is newer generation 2018
C class is a 2014 car the a class is from 2019 . The new model c class will have everything as they A class and more
A new C Class is in development, we will see it next year
The A is better than the S class in terms of technology
@@Horizon301. the S has a lot that the A doesn't. Magic Body Control for instance. Not to mention things like heated armrests, a fragrance atomiser and ventilated massage seats. It's also much better built inside. The A feels a bit cheap
5:30 So no one talk about the SD card slot????
Why? It's for the sat nav
@@Jaykae_t u can also play music and movies from it. The movie screen, however turns black when driving.
Source - I own a pre lift model.
Matt has become the best car reviewer on this old web thing now
All that good stuff that mentioned and finally you said you should consider it !
Any idea when are we going to see the all new S class 2020?
MOAK KAID In 2020🤣
In 2018

2020 has 12 months kiddo

How old are you? 10?
MOAK KAID 2020 is in 2 months how old are youuu?
Love me some Metallicy Expensivey bits!
YO MATT! thank you for the excellent review
That blue paint is just gorgeous.
i remember back when the C class used to be the relatively affordable and intro Merc. now it costs more than a 5 series a few years ago
Matt's "5 annoying things" are first world problems...
Always love your videos Matt, never stop doing what YOU do :)
@mikea hiooi haha naaah😉
I have had a C300 2019 model for a year now and I have a red interior leather with the grainy black grey pattern instead of just plain black . It is also the AMG line package. It is quiet powerful like the 330i sports … looks great with beautiful exterior design and the interior is high quality .. love this car .. hope I can upgrade in few years to the CLA 45 AMG S

Also mat, "and a 12 inch..."
How he likes it apparently 😉
"it will automatically park the car for you, if you're rubbish at it" earned a sub s tier
9:06 😂 I have that robot face in my GLC and it makes me scared while I’m driving by myself at night
Great vid, thanks
Brilliant blue fits perfect!
Interior is insane too.
2:12 me when I'm squishing my cat
why does your cat have a door bin ?
You can drive your cat, thats power but very cute too! Catpower and mileage? :D
This is my dream car and its got my initials on that number plate! Great vibes
thank to Matt i used to watch top gear old times but know its boring but Matt its like you bring the old ays
When someone takeover Carwow from mat it will die just like topgear
Or just like CarBuyerUK
Never say that..EVER
M O L L they should hire the car throttle guys
Yep
3:21 dude turned into Spiderman
Coke is great
Does the interior ambient lighting only come in the premium plus? I’ve just ordered AMG line but not premium plus
Great video just wondering if you can review the A class sedan
I really like this car. I like the new 3 series, but for me, this seems better value in terms of what you get with it. I prefer the interior lighting on this compared to the 3 series, it's more subtle and I like how the lights just spray out (so to speak) than just one single line of lighting which looks more bolder. I guess this is all to do with preference. I do think though, this is better value in terms of what you get, the interior seems really good like you say, and the quality is nice on the outside too.
The 3 series is much better. I have driven both. It's not only faster and doesn't have the tacked on ipad screen...The BMW is also more comfortable. The seats are better too...The E class is another story. I have never driven a 5 series, but i really liked the E class compared to the C. Its amazing how much better the drive in the E is...Lightyear difference imo

Matt: Walking around the car with the stick of truth
Me: Oh here we go again😉
Just got my C300 last week, not the funniest car but the most satisfying
"Metallicy"

Sounds like a tribute band!
This is car is so beautiful😭. I need to get myself one
You’re better off buying a Lexus instead of this shit czcams.com/video/Uedm6f7AIaY/video.html
@@matthewdoyle8644 just push and press does not mean anything. Car is to drive and chill with audio and technology. At this point, lexus cant match with mercedes.
@@Tien-Dat93 Mercedes break so I don’t know if it’s old if it like could be still driving like a old Lexus would , Mercedes quality just went down.
_"I don't know why I'm so impressed with that... I always am though...'_ 🤣
Can u show us the video setup u used in videos. Pls
Next car I buy with be a new mercedes C Class or E class. Love these cars
Ugly cars, go for BMW instead
E class more premium
BashHDgamer No, where did you get that from? Take a look at the 5-series. Much better in all categories
@@Semo11044 Let someone have their opinion, if he likes mercedes more than bmw let him be. I like mercedes also more, just not a fan of how bmw's look.
hoen2009 I just expressed my opinion. I think Mercedes makes ugly retarded cars with bug eyes. BMW isn’t perfect either with those big grilles, but atleast it looks decent.
Why would Mercedes put halogen headlights on ANY of there cars? It’s 2019 people
get another car if you don't like it lol. Im enjoying mines though
maybe it’s good halogens? Mazdas have great halogens, for example.
Howdy, great review as always!😸😻😸
Are the burmester speakers an optional extra and not standard?
Can someone tell me why carbuyer's focus st review is in the drag race playlist? 😂
I love how mat can say ‘Mercedes’ without being interrupted by Mercedes in this car, what a great feature!
Best features of the current model C Class is not having MBUX.
@@cromaster82 mbux is a very strange "revolutionary" system. Mbux is not a good choice.
@@redondodered2265 indeed!
That gear switching at the side of the steering to go reverse looks so nicely thought of wauw. Nice addition for comfortablility , now thats a luxury car that earns his name haha
You are the best car reviewer..I like it..
Matt: oh there is real exhaust pipe
:)
"The Satellite navigation system knows when you're entering a tunnel..."
And winds the windows down and engages sport mode?
Because it knows that the air in tunnel is not good because of the other cars exhaust so it closes the windows and start the air filtration system that fyi is extremely good
@@minecalos1870 not as good as winding the windows down and engaging sport mode.
Exactly and listening to the fake exhausts👌🤣
Matt and his stick. Legendary.
@carwow I know it‘s an older Video, but Matt made a mistake at 1:32min, when he talked about „fake vents“. Those areas are on the AMG Line and the C43 and they are supposed to help reduce drag, by making the surplus air move through the vents on the side. The air comes out right in front of the front wheels. Thus, the surplus air passes around the car. If I’m not mistaken, it is called Air Curtain. I thought I‘d mention it, since nobody else did.
6:24
When there is nothing special in newer model comparing to the old one you already reviewed and you need to extend the video length!
You realize not everyone saw previous videos? For example: Me
Who loves carwow
I prefer the Asian equivalents
Kellll loves carwow
Everybody, even love more him than doug demuro.
Small mistake at 1:40 the airintake is not fake but helps the airflow go through the bumper sideways to the wheels. Something with aerodynamics...
Love your reviews🤩
It's a lovely small-to-mild size car. The 63S version is so much fun too, light, nimble round corners, RWD and practical all in one. Love it 👍
Light and nimble around corners is what the c63 is not 😂😂😂
H H I disagree having driven it on track. Sure the completion are lighter, but the C63 is better than people give it credit for.
@@DanielSadjadian I drove it to, and the M3 too, and compared that that is heavy and not nimble.
H H compared to M3, but in the AMG line up it’s the one to go for (with the exception of the GTR). Smaller, lighter and more nimble than E class and above + RWD is truly the best for performance driving.
@@DanielSadjadian No shit Sherlock 😂😂😂😂
But you dont compare small sedans to bigger ones, you compare similiar cars.....
All coments so far:
7% - Great video Matt! Lovely car too!
3% - Haters
90% - Matt 2019:
Mat the model you are having is of what price?
Finally an honest review of this car! Definitely some road noise through the tires and sharp bounces from suspension on “rough” roads. Everyone always says these cars are so nice and being someone who’s been in Lexus and Genesis and Audi, I can say that’s really not true. This C Class is below those brands in terms of ride quality, comfort, and quietness. However, the steering in the Mercedes feels more connected to the road than those brands. Pick your poison!
Why don't you ever do the c43?
Matt would love using his stick of truth on the C43 exhausts. Made to look like there's 4 pipes but there's actually only two (one either side)
Because no one buy thay due to its rubbish sound
Morgan Blue stupid one of the best v6s
@BMW ///M3 it is a real amg.
@@KeithFlint350 you're deaf. It sounds amazing especially for a turbo v6
Why am I watching this when I KNOW I can't afford it lmaoo!
9:14 😂Only Mat could see that "robot face", you should try car stand up comedy 😂
I like redline, straightpipes, but I think your reviews are the easiest to watch. Mellow and no gimmicks.
That touch pad on the steering wheel reminds me of an old blackberry phone
