      Doing a real world just involves you driving the car in your daily routine without any fancy acellaration and crazy breaking. Driving four miles to come up with a number is like asking to an election poll on country with 60 million population and going to a small town and asking 20 people for their vote. Not credible at all but entertaining.

      What's annoying is, the C300d AMG Line Premium Plus comes with the nicer 19" wheels, but the more expensive C300e AMG Line Premium Plus comes with those really unappealing 18s. I spoke to MB about it and they said that it was to get the emissions down although I don't buy that. The same car specced in Germany has those 19s and I'd you run a CLA250e AMG Line Premium Plus, you get the 19" wheels. Bizarre!

    Well done Guys. Great presentation and explanation of this fantastic motor.
    I was confused which car to get for up to £30k budgets second hand.
    Options was considering
    1.Kia e niro - looks horrible, cheap feel inside
    2.Tesla model 3 - too spartan, build quality issues, not adjustable regen, no free rolling
    As you said this is the best of both worlds. Efficient enough, High quality combined with great performance. For me is a winner.
    Once my crypto investments mature such as Hex, Hedron and Icosa will take some profit and surprise myself with this beauty.

      A little more initial impact with a hybrid versus a conventional ICE, but the ~5-6x efficiency of the electric side of the powertrain earns that back for anyone who drives their car any reasonable amount of miles.

    The rear end is the styling of all C300 models and that wasn't a real world reflective test. The price without tax rebate is a factor for what this car gives. Humans don't give a crap about the planet or their health in the future. They care about cost. Overall price of vehicle and petroleum savings. I guess you don't buy a "Merc" if you cars. Personally, I own an AMG E63 S and only drive it about 3000 miles per year. (Yes, miles. A horrible measure compared to the metric system but, at least we drive on the safer and better side of the road and in the car.) 69mpg EV is wonderfully a double entendre. I doubt it will be sold in the USA. We, unfortunately, don't care about MPG. Not your best video.

      Hybrid without a plug is a missed opportunity to be more eco-friendly. It deprives you from the opportunity to charge the battery from e.g. your solar panels. How on earth can your ice do that in a less polluting way? It can *not*. Self charging is using petrol, it does not come for free. If however you do not want to use the plug to charge, the Mercedes (and lots of other plug-in hybrids) will offer you the option of self-charging also. So what's the point of a hybrid without plug-in?

      Instead of charging every night with a plug-in (otherwise it uses more fuel more emission to propel the extra weight for the PHEV system pointless imo), just get any full EV and done with tailpipe emission, care less for ever increasing fuel prices, no more oil change (again time is money less pollution as well dealing with used engine oil), no more timing belt replacement whatsoever (long term ownership), less wear on brake pads and rotors (since mostly regen brake, again save time save money from replacing the pads & rotors), and not to mention instant torque instant acceleration from the get go.

      Tesla model 3 or Y are " One trick ponies" at best...
      Outside of there straight line performance, a hybrid or ice car for the present at least, are as economical to run... Plus the exorbitant pricing for the Models 3 and Y.
      For them to be a viable alternative to ice or hybrids, Tesla need to reduce the 3 or Y by at least £15k per version... Any vehicle which is only on a par with a 30 yr old Renault 5 for interior quality, has no right to be priced at BMW 340i/440i, Audi S4, AMG C43 levels... Period
