What We Like
Nicely-weighted steering wheel
Comfortable ride and seats
Engine still delivers reasonable punch
Open pore wood trim is lovely to touch
What We Dislike
Engine sounds strained when pushed
Lacking the outstanding free-standing displays from other Mercedes cars
Mercedes brings a new entry-level contender to the luxury compact sedan segment with the C160. Does this make it the C-Class to buy?
The Mercedes-Benz C160 is the firm's newest entry into the compact luxury sedan segment. But with only 127bhp and 210Nm of torque, it makes a controversial case for itself when you consider its asking price of $177,888 (as of 16 April 2020).
Does the sedan's other qualities, such as its boot space and comfortble seats and ride, win over our testers? Watch the video to find out!
