I just had my C220d estate delivered a couple of weeks ago (in Denmark). Ride is simply fantastic and quiet. And having the electric motor starting up the diesel is so quiet. No more of old times diesel noise. Digital light is simply amazing. It really is next level compared to the old MB light or BMW's laser light. I'm 186cm (I think it's 6'2 in UK metrics), and I can easily sit behind myself with enough headroom. Obviously, it's no S-Class/Passat/Superb in the back. But it's good enough for adults for longer journeys. And yes, exhausts are as fake as can be. And don't worry about the Teslafication. The MBUX system is a joy to use. And the speach recognition is REALLY good. And bear in mind that I use it in Danish. I would emagine it to be even better in English. Bottom line is that it's a lovely car.
I totally agree with you. I got mine C180 for 3 months now, and honestly I am in love with the car ;-). I'd like to point out also the safety features which are amazing. MBUX is a story unto itself.
@@panagiwtisleousis8991 Abauto from comment below is right, I got mine from show room. That one was just what I needed, fully equipped, AMG line and red colour. In case if I wanted to order it, I would wait until September this year at the earliest, here in Belgium.
Just got mine c220d estate last week (in Switzerland). It was manufactured in November but delivery was delayed durvto some missing door electronics. Digital light is good but not a huge improvement over the Matrix LED’s on the CLA Shooting Brake I have previously. It’s a quite car but not as quite as expected with the acoustic package but maybe that’s because it’s still running in. Less than 1000 Kim’s so far. A huge shame they couldn’t deliver my car with the Burmester that I ordered. For some reason I can’t understand they delivered it with the basic music system rather than the middle premium system. I was very upset with Mercedes’ about this as I love good quality music in my car. The Eco mode is very impressive in using the sat Nav to predictively use the regeneration mode to slow the car on approach to roundabouts, curves and junctions etc. I’ve also got very used to the lane change assist function. Not something I thought I would find useful. Can I ask if you are able to select the damper settings in Dynamic Select in Individual mode? I though by having selective dampers they damping could be selected by the driver but my dealer informed me this is not possible. Glad your enjoying your car as much as I am 😊
Apologies been such a long time, but Digital Light video coming soon over the next couple of weeks! I haven't forgotten! 👊🏼 Sneak Peak: It's incredible!
13:42 you're spot on, 60 miles if a game changer for a plugin as it means most people will essentially use it as an ecar all of the time day to day. And they'll snap it up because they will never have range anxiety.
I just got the Estate and can say that is the best C Class ever. Everything is so well done, seats are incredibly comfortable, my engine C200 (204hp) is silent and powerful, trunk is huuuuge, and the MBUX is out of this world… coffee machine? Not yet…
Hello Nick, I always enjoy your videos, they are always educational and fun to watch, could you also delve deeper into digital lighting, I am very curious about that, thank you in advance
Already have! I reached out to Mercedes and they were very kind enough to lend me a car so I could produce a video on it. This one took a while to make! ua-cam.com/video/QLGe6o_6GRI/v-deo.htmlsi=hDOvRbyYsO9OKsv- Glad you enjoy the videos!
Nice presentation! I've heard that to have Adaptive Cruise Control or Dashcam enabled, there is an extra fee to pay monthly, is that true? Other than that, it looks lovely!
Thanks for posting a first look at the new C Class Nick ! Love the colours and that amazing centre screen. Be great to see a video on how they drive out on the road etc 👍
Hi Nick Would love for you to dedicate an episode on Digital Lighting. I’m intrigued by this new technology. Looking forward to the day when the computer chip shortage is over so I can purchase a Mercedes of my own!
Thanks Dee M! Glad you enjoyed the video! No sadly I wouldn't know, best thing to do is get in touch with your local Mercedes who may be able to let you if it's on it's way! 🤓
Many Thanks Nick, as much as I like the look of the new C Class I'm of a certain age where I find the interior slightly overwhelming!! Bring back 8 Tracks!! 😄😄😄
Nice! Great to see your take on the new C class. I had a feeling it may be this! This is such a big car for Mercedes no doubt you guys have been looking forward to getting them in the show room! I can't wait to get my hands on the AMG versions of these. I'm sad about the lack of V8 but I know AMG will still deliver something incredible with such a good base in the w206 C Classs. Great video as always! :)
Hello Nick thanks for your video and hard work on making it , I have been an follower for an while Iam in an A- Class Edition now , just bought an C Class down the south west of UK C200 Premium amazing car , waiting to do an collection soon Thanks for the detailed video Does the C class with digital light package cames with the welcome animation? Thanks nick
hi nick and thanks you for an amazing video and a beautiful car, nick I have a question for you, how I can delete an user in the screen? and once again thanks for you intrestings videos
Once you’ve signed into a profile, you can go back to the profile selector and they’ll be a delete option. I found that, you have to sign into it first, you can’t delete someone else’s without signing in first 🤓 Hope that helps!
Did nick get your class for Christmas it looks really stylish car have you got one yet I hope you enjoy definitely driving it I hopefully your you get hands on it i hopefully you enjoy it I hope your happy nick
Hi, i really enjoy your videos. I have one quick question, seen on your version EQ icon between power and charge, however in some on other same C classes those ones are missing - is there any reason why? version without eq boost? production year?
Mercedes used to go with the branding EQ Boost but now they refer to it as Mild Hybrid or don’t show it on the car at all. I mean it kind of makes sense as there isn’t an electric only mode or anything. It usually follows with more questions! 😅
Hi Nick, excellent video thank you. I currently drive GLC 300 and would like to go for new C series coupe when it comes. Any idea when the coupe model is due please? Regards John
Hey John, sadly I don’t know any insider info on new models. Mercedes-Benz always release announcements like that worldwide to everyone at the same time. I’ll be sure to cover it on my channel if I hear anything 😇
No sorry :( We’ll have to keep an eye out to see what Mercedes announce over the next few years. They always post to their social media pages when announcing new cars. Plus I’ll cover it on here too 👀 (If I can get my hands on one)
Thanks Nick, another stunning video. Looking forward to the PHEV review. And yes, it would be nice to see a test drive of this model to highlight / demonstrate any new features. Do you think this centre cluster will make its way to the A-Class?
Thanks moyah8 🤓 Maybe! You never know but that would potentially be years away yet, and by then…there could be an even more impressive centre cluster! 😅 We’ll have to keep an eye out!
Hey Manat, no sadly not, best thing to do is keep an eye on Mercedes’s social media pages. They always announce cars on there when a new model comes out 🤓
Hello, Nick! My name is Jonni. I am the owner of a Mercedes Benz C300 e (2020 model). This is my first Mercedes and I have to sat that I am impressed of how elegant, comfortable and refined this car is. I really like it! I think that it would be so nice if you could compare the 2022 C class (plug and hybrid) with the previous model of the C class (plug and hybrid). Congratulations for the nice video clips you make every time! I am looking forward to watching the next one. Thank you! Bye.
Thanks Jonni! Glad you enjoy the videos! I’ll try and keep them coming! 👀 I’ve added it to the list of potential future videos, so if I can get my hands on one, I’d love to!
I bought the C 2022 Estate Designo Mat.. Delivery end of April.. how to clean this paint... you have advice or a vid...gr8 vid though.. grtz from Belgium
Ooo very nice! Thank you! Glad you like the videos! Taken this from the Mercedes manual about Matt paint (it’s in bullet points) Use water and a soft sponge/flannel which needs to be rinsed often to avoid scratching of the paintwork with dirt/sand/dust particles. Never polish the vehicle or the light alloy wheels. Polishing makes the paintwork shiny. Never polish the vehicle or the light alloy wheels. Polishing makes the paintwork shiny. The following may cause the paint to become shiny and thus reduce the matt effect: · vigorous rubbing with unsuitable materials · frequent use of car washes · washing the vehicle in direct sunlight · Never use paint cleaner, buffing or polishing products, or gloss preserver, e.g. wax. These products are only suitable for high-gloss surfaces. Their use on vehicles with matt finish leads to considerable surface damage (shiny, spotted areas).Always have paintwork repairs carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. · Do not use wash programs with a hot wax treatment under any circumstances. I believe Mercedes also a Matt Aftercare shampoo etc for cleaning from their parts section
Hey Sheilagh, not sure what you mean, you can order Driving Assistance Package on most models of Mercedes which helps with motorway driving and blind spot detection
I realised mine got a gap between the inner side of the headlights and the front bumper. I seem to see the same in your video. Looks like it's by default design. Looks weird though.
Nothing announced from Mercedes just yet, we’ll have to wait and see! If you keep an eye out on their social media pages, they usually announce on there 🤓
I only have this car 6 weeks and I’m getting a message from the display that the battery is at a critically low level! And when I contact the dealer in Prague who sold it to me they won’t look at it until 9 March ( today is 22 feb )
My husband has been lucky enough to buy a Mercedes C class 2022, we were surprised when our Grandson showed us a dash cam button.......and so were our dealers! We ordered the car believing that we would either have to install a dash cam via lead or to buy one from Mercedes 😢. Is this a standard add or have we just been very lucky? If standard I’m wondering whether this should be another video?! Thanks for all your great videos, it’s the kind of car where you don’t stop finding more features. Best regards, Helen. Xxx
Love the new C class ..I had the old model was very basic .. Now I have an E class coupé 2019 and it looks even better in this one than mine with all the new gear.. ambient lighting looks great looks more like an e class now. If they can do this with the new c class, what will the new e class be like when they next update that. Thanks for the vids Nick. And yeah be good to see it on the road.
Sadly due to the semiconductor shortage this is something that is affecting production at the moment from what I’ve heard. Having said that, when I tried it out, I was pleasantly surprised with the one already on the car! It was really crystal clear!
I would probably say Burmester has the edge for having a dedicated amplifier and subwoofer but for most the one with the car supplies a nice rich and clear sound 👌🏼 No sadly I wouldn’t know, it’ll be whenever the chip shortage fixes itself. Read in the news it could be later this year / early next year Fingers crossed anyway!
Hey Offical Ritz, the GLC coupe has only just had a facelift in 2019 so I doubt it’ll change for a little while yet. Cars usually have a facelift / new model launch every 3-4 years so we’ll have to keep our eyes open over the next couple of years!
Yeah they’ll always be spy shots online before announcements etc, best thing to do is keep an eye of Mercedes-Benz’s Social media pages, they post stuff on there instantly when it’s announced!
HI Nick, great video's, like the clearly explained detail you cover. Is there any chance though of you doing something in a bit more detail than your previous vids about just which models have the mild hybrid tech. I don't seem to be able to get a clear picture of just what is what. I have been an E class driver for my last 3 cars but this new C class is looking very nice. I do a reasonable amount of motorway, probably around 70% of my annual milage, so I would guess like a lot of people knowing just what is MHB and what is not, (or rather what is MB making available) would be very helpful for my next swap which is due now. ie is MHB only available on petrol and is it standard or an option. It seems it might be standard on at least two of MB's competitors and fitted as standard on both their on diesels and petrols. Also will there still be a 300 d-e variant of the C class and the E class or are the d-e models being buried.
Great video, can tell you take pride in your production. Got a C350E so look forward to the plug in hybrid review. I'd definitely take 60 miles on the plug in hybrid. My neighbor just got a new Land Rover Discovery and that does 35 miles on electric mode for comparison
Best thing to do is speak with your local Mercedes and they can advise, but everything I showed in the video is available 👌🏼 The only thing that won’t have full functionality is Digital Light, due to UK law on the road it doesn’t allow this tech yet. Fingers crossed for the future!
Looking forward to see a video about the plugin-hybrid. I'm ordering one but cant find any videos about how it actually works through the mercedes me (preheating and so on).
My old version 2021 registered is nearly a year old and I am in no rush to change it, I thought I would be itching to change but externally not really changed dramatically, inside looks nice but only having covered less than 7,000 miles think I will hold out for an all electric model.
I just bought one of the last C class estates plugin hybrid of 2021 arrives Monday. I got a great deal but seeing the new model always wonder of I should have held off! I don't think the hybrids will be available until Aug / Sept 22. A comparison would be great
Yes it's my first ever Mercedes I've owned. It's the prem plus night edition so yes massively excited. I found your guides to be the most informative online, great work!
Driving tests for cars is a must, Nick hear anything about when we can expect the V8s to return for the rest of the AMG lineup? Will they be back for 2023?
Hey Note20 Ultra, I doubt they will return. With the push for cleaner and greener cars, it will most likely be the last of the V8’s across most manufacturers. From the green side of me, it will be worth the upgrade for more Eco cars, pushing the boundaries of what is possible from smaller engines. However from the petrol head side of me, it’s a shame to see them potentially go as the AMG’s sound amazing! 👌🏼👌🏼 You’ll have to get one if you want a V8! 👀
Thanks for the walk through. I thought MB also would present a Diesel Plug-In Hybrid (C 300 de)? Do you know if this version will come later or if they have dropped it?
Hey Jesper, no problem! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! No sorry I wouldn’t know if a diesel version is on the way, however if you keep an eye out on Mercedes social media pages, they usually announce new models on there 🤓
Hey Emile, No sadly not, Mercedes release new models every 6-7 years with a facelift half way in between. The GLC had a facelift in 2019 so technically and based on previous launches you might see something over the next couple of years. Keep an eye of Mercedes Social media! They post of there instantly when announcing new models!
Not sure…AMG models usually come out a year after the launch of the model, so I would hope Mercedes would announce something later this year! We’ll have to keep an eye out! 👀
Hey RekziAlpha, ah I’ve already covered the A-Class here: ua-cam.com/video/PWspwo-ZW1k/v-deo.html Cars these days usually change shape once every 6-7 years with a facelift halfway in between which usually refreshes the bumpers body panels and sometimes the wheels too.
Had my C 220d Estate model for a week now. after waiting 7 months since ordering. So far it’s a great, especially Active Steer Assistant. I ordered with the Burmester but the built the car without it being installed and it was missing a few other minor options. You don’t always get what you ask for with Mercedes.
Not just Mercedes nearly every brand is affected because of no semiconductor chips. Cars are been made without certain options to get them off the production line
What a shame you didn’t get a Burmester built into your new car. I hope there is a retrofit option as the sound quality is something special, especially when you customize it in an individual option.
@@tihomircukman2162 Sadly it can’t be retrofitted. They also didn’t inform me the Burmester would be missing until 6 months after placing the order. And why they didn’t fit the next best alternative instead of the basic system is beyond my understanding. They obviously knew I wanted a high quality sound system in the car.
@@rikinpatel742 The mpg is very good. My lowest consumption so far is 4.1 liters per 100 km. I didn’t choose the PHEV for may reasons. Price, weight, loss of interior space and therefore practically, increased maintenance cost , insurance cost etc, etc. in 3 or 4 years when I replace the car I will go directly to electric. In 4 years the charging infrastructure, battery weight and range and many other variables will be much improved, especially as traditional car manufacturers switch all of their R&D resources to electronic vehicles. Currently electric and PHEV does not work for me but in a few years I am sure it will.
Hey Matt, no sadly not available on the new C-Class as the semiconductor shortage is still out there :( Heard some news reports that it may improve later this year / early next year. Fingers crossed anyway! 🤓
@@npoleary thanks nick. I got in just in time with my EQC and have one of the few with the Burmeister system installed. Looking forward to seeing the next EQC now
Very interesting video. I do like the ability to change the drivers view very similar to Audi, certainly above my BMW. Be very interesting to see how it drives. For me to make the change from BMW to Mercedes’ it will come down to the drive and how sharp it is. Very much looking forward to a review of the on road ability of the car. Yet again many thanks for an excellent review
Hey Wayne, yes most manufacturers have had to do this but check with your local Mercedes-Benz when ordering and they will advise what if anything might be affected. Hope that helps answer your question 🤓
Hey Muhammad! They are extremely close to be honest! I didn’t notice too much of a difference. If you get the chance when you visit your local Mercedes, ask to try them out! I wouldn’t mind either! 😅
No doubt, beautiful inside and out. My only gripe is I'm definitely a texture guy. I like high-quality, clicky buttons and they removed/replaced virtually them all on this design -- including the seat adjustment. I also don't like how automakers are seeming to adopt the "Tesla way" of integrating everyday features, such as radio and climate controls into the centerstack screens. Terrible for trying to adjust while driving. Overall, this design is absolutely stunning!
It’s not as hard to adjust as you might imagine. I find it easier to adjust the temperature and other climate functions than with my previous ‘analogue’ CLA and E-Class Coupe, especially with the Active Steering Assist keeping you on the correct trajectory whilst using these functions.
Another great video Nick. I had an "older 70 plate" C class a couple weeks ago as a courtesy car and the service manager asked what I thought of it and would I change my A class for it? I said No because it didn't have the MBUX system my A class has. But this is a whole new ball game now I would probably go for the hybrid. It would be interesting to see the fuel figures for the diesel hybrid vs the petrol hybrid.
Defiantly would like to see a comparison between them...Awesome car, currently have a GLB but would like to see the estate....what sort of price range as well....great video as always...
Hey Stewart, I’ve never known them to have a heated steering wheel in the UK. Unless it was before ones prior to 2014, the UK can be pretty cold! I’d love a heated steering wheel!
Hey That Guy777, usually if you select AUTO on Mercedes Climate control, it’ll put warm air out down below (as heat rises) but cool will come out of the centre vents. Sometimes in an S-Class you can have complete control over the air coming out such as scattering the air, or focusing it to one spot (usually adjustable in the settings section of the climate control)
Hey Adam, thank you! Sadly Avantgarde just doesn’t exist here in the UK. It varies massively round the world with trims. In the UK instead of Avantgarde, it’s called Sport & AMG Line.
Great review! Could you do a comparison between the new and old hybrid one's? Does this new C-Class also have the amazing heads-up display like the S-klasse? great content! Ordered an A klasse, sadly the C-klasse is out of reach, plus I am in home office that it is a tad much I think....
Thank you! Haven’t seen a head up display option for it, I think it’s just available on the S-Class in the UK. Ooo yes if I get my hands on a hybrid I’ll feature the previous one too!
Hey Owen & Sebastian, yes you’re right actually it does have a head up display. In the UK it’s on a thing called the Premium Plus Package. Didn’t notice it until now!
Can you please review/show off the C300e? Preferly in the estate version, thanks. :) Im kinda fallen in love with that one, but still not got one yet since I need to wait abit due to reasons. Came across your channel by accident searching for the C300e awhile back and this is the second time I watch this video lol, but ive watched many more after. Oh and please convince Mercedes to make an electric estate with good range thanks. :p Suvs aint my thing but sadly its the only type of car everyone goes for, for some odd reason.
I’d love to! Sadly I haven’t managed to get my hands on one yet but if I do, I’ll be sure to make a video! Ah awesome thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! They’ve got more Electric models coming soon, so you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled! Oh and the reason that there are more SUV Electrics is that it’s an easy body shape car to fit a Lithium-ion battery into, Estates are lower down to the ground so would need thinner batteries. I’m sure Mercedes are working on all sorts behind the scenes!
@@npoleary Yeah id wish they would make an electric estate, I know MG has one with fairly ok battery range, but they seem to be the only one so far that have done it, but yes, ill wait, sadly the wait is to long really, just wish it was more info out there on stuff you know about whats going on.
Who remembers when the C-class was considered a nice entry level Mercedes? Now its a true mid-sized luxury car. I like that term 'entry level'. That is the official term for customer cars that will be traded up every few years. I'm in love with my 2012, I have a good garage, but I cannot find anyone trustworthy to inspect and control for corrosion. I'm not sure that a 150 euro treatment is the detailed work I'm looking for.
I just had my C220d estate delivered a couple of weeks ago (in Denmark). Ride is simply fantastic and quiet. And having the electric motor starting up the diesel is so quiet. No more of old times diesel noise. Digital light is simply amazing. It really is next level compared to the old MB light or BMW's laser light.

But it's good enough for adults for longer journeys.
And yes, exhausts are as fake as can be.
And don't worry about the Teslafication. The MBUX system is a joy to use. And the speach recognition is REALLY good. And bear in mind that I use it in Danish. I would emagine it to be even better in English.
Bottom line is that it's a lovely car.
I totally agree with you. I got mine C180 for 3 months now, and honestly I am in love with the car ;-). I'd like to point out also the safety features which are amazing. MBUX is a story unto itself.

Great review Nick of 2 beautiful cars. Thanks mate 😀
Hi nick, very professional presentation indeed, BTW what silver color is the sedan one?
Thank you! It’s been a while since I filmed this one at my local dealer but I’m pretty sure it was called High-Tech Silver Metallic 🤓
I waited a while but just took possession of a C220d Estate. I pretty much love everything about it.
Ah awesome Darren! That’s good to hear! What colour did you go for?
@@npoleary Graphite Grey, looks nice
Ooo very nice!
Hi Nick
Would love for you to dedicate an episode on Digital Lighting. I’m intrigued by this new technology.

Any idea when there coming out in Canada and awesome video.
Thanks Dee M! Glad you enjoyed the video! No sadly I wouldn't know, best thing to do is get in touch with your local Mercedes who may be able to let you if it's on it's way! 🤓

Thanks Jag 🤓👍🏼🤓
very nice review nick!! precisely what I would look forward to from you..!!!
please do make a more in depth review of ntg7 in future..
Thank you!
Oh I will! 🤓👀
Wow! that new design is beautiful I am a die hart Mercedes guy
Unfortunately here in China we dont have the hybrid C class. Next month I’ll buy one for my birthday! So excited
Awesome cars plus presenter…. Very presentable!
Very nice, now I just need to wait 2 or 3 years for used car prices to get back to normal and an ex fleet estate to hit the used market.
Nice! Great to see your take on the new C class. I had a feeling it may be this! This is such a big car for Mercedes no doubt you guys have been looking forward to getting them in the show room! I can't wait to get my hands on the AMG versions of these. I'm sad about the lack of V8 but I know AMG will still deliver something incredible with such a good base in the w206 C Classs.

Hi, i really enjoy your videos. I have one quick question, seen on your version EQ icon between power and charge, however in some on other same C classes those ones are missing - is there any reason why? version without eq boost? production year?
Mercedes used to go with the branding EQ Boost but now they refer to it as Mild Hybrid or don’t show it on the car at all.
I mean it kind of makes sense as there isn’t an electric only mode or anything. It usually follows with more questions! 😅
@@npoleary ok, make sense. Does it mean that after software this icon and "ready" icon might be gone? asking cuz my model is MY2021 :)
I’m sure the ready icon is still there on the new ones!
The C300, C300d and the C300e is really smooth. They even put a 2.0L in the plug-in hybrids
Hi Nick, excellent video thank you. I currently drive GLC 300 and would like to go for new C series coupe when it comes. Any idea when the coupe model is due please? Regards John
Hey John, sadly I don’t know any insider info on new models. Mercedes-Benz always release announcements like that worldwide to everyone at the same time.
I’ll be sure to cover it on my channel if I hear anything 😇
Thanks Nick - will look forward to any announcements. John
Thanks Nick it’s looks really great … do you know if MB are bringing out a Nsw c class coupe ?
No sorry :(
We’ll have to keep an eye out to see what Mercedes announce over the next few years. They always post to their social media pages when announcing new cars.
Plus I’ll cover it on here too 👀
(If I can get my hands on one)
Thanks Nick, another stunning video. Looking forward to the PHEV review. And yes, it would be nice to see a test drive of this model to highlight / demonstrate any new features. Do you think this centre cluster will make its way to the A-Class?
Thanks moyah8 🤓
Maybe! You never know but that would potentially be years away yet, and by then…there could be an even more impressive centre cluster! 😅
We’ll have to keep an eye out!
I’m a bit sick of SUV’s. Hopefully the Estate version C will make it to America.
Yeah, far more practical than a pseudo SUV that's nothing but a lifted car chasis these days. Love the estate too.
Great video and have to say that we have a 2021 CLA and this car looks very similar externally but the CLA is lower and looks more sporty imo
Do You have any information about new C-Cass Coupe?
Hey Manat, no sadly not, best thing to do is keep an eye on Mercedes’s social media pages. They always announce cars on there when a new model comes out 🤓
I've driven it already (I'm from austria).. I drove the 220d estate. Now I wait for the 300 d e model to buy it.
Hello, Nick! My name is Jonni. I am the owner of a Mercedes Benz C300 e (2020 model). This is my first Mercedes and I have to sat that I am impressed of how elegant, comfortable and refined this car is. I really like it! I think that it would be so nice if you could compare the 2022 C class (plug and hybrid) with the previous model of the C class (plug and hybrid). Congratulations for the nice video clips you make every time! I am looking forward to watching the next one. Thank you! Bye.
Thanks Jonni! Glad you enjoy the videos! I’ll try and keep them coming! 👀
I’ve added it to the list of potential future videos, so if I can get my hands on one, I’d love to!
I bought the C 2022 Estate Designo Mat.. Delivery end of April..
how to clean this paint... you have advice or a vid...gr8 vid though.. grtz from Belgium
Ooo very nice! Thank you! Glad you like the videos!
Taken this from the Mercedes manual about Matt paint (it’s in bullet points)
Use water and a soft
sponge/flannel which needs to be rinsed often to avoid scratching of the
paintwork with dirt/sand/dust particles.
Never polish the vehicle or the
light alloy wheels. Polishing makes the paintwork shiny.
Never polish the vehicle or the
light alloy wheels. Polishing makes the paintwork shiny.
The following may cause the
paint to become shiny and thus reduce the matt effect:
· vigorous rubbing with unsuitable materials
· frequent use of car washes
· washing the vehicle in direct sunlight
· Never use paint cleaner, buffing or polishing products,
or gloss preserver, e.g. wax. These products are only suitable for high-gloss
surfaces. Their use on vehicles with matt finish leads to considerable surface
damage (shiny, spotted areas).Always have paintwork repairs carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
· Do not use wash programs with a hot wax treatment under
any circumstances.
I believe Mercedes also a Matt Aftercare shampoo etc for cleaning from their parts section
I have my C300e from a week, it's a real cool car :)
Great video! Show more of the new c class please 😊🔥
Have you seen the POV drive? 👀
Just uploaded!
ua-cam.com/video/cKm2N9SbMok/v-deo.html
@@npoleary I am looking for the 220d so would love more about it. Or just More about the new mbux please 😊
Absolutely! I’ll be sure to cover MBUX more in the future!
@@npoleary looking foreward to it 😊🔥 How is the new key?
New looks pretty good! Very unique design compared to other Mercedes keys
Hi Nick, we would love to have more videos about him new class C, mbux 2 in depth, digital light, 360 cameras, tricks ... as always great videos
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll add it to the list of potential future videos 🤓
Nick have you any idea when the driver assist car will be turning up ?
Hey Sheilagh, not sure what you mean, you can order Driving Assistance Package on most models of Mercedes which helps with motorway driving and blind spot detection
great video! ı would love to see more c class videos :)
Thank you! I’ll add it to the list of potential future videos! 🤓
I realised mine got a gap between the inner side of the headlights and the front bumper. I seem to see the same in your video. Looks like it's by default design. Looks weird though.
Are they bringing out a C class coupe version? It would look fantastic with 2 doors.
Nothing announced from Mercedes just yet, we’ll have to wait and see!
If you keep an eye out on their social media pages, they usually announce on there 🤓
I only have this car 6 weeks and I’m getting a message from the display that the battery is at a critically low level! And when I contact the dealer in Prague who sold it to me they won’t look at it until 9 March ( today is 22 feb )
@Nick O’Leary is there going to be a c300de of the new version C class ??
Ordered a C300e one week ago, now the wait begins :p
Wooo! What colour did you go for?
My husband has been lucky enough to buy a Mercedes C class 2022, we were surprised when our Grandson showed us a dash cam button.......and so were our dealers! We ordered the car believing that we would either have to install a dash cam via lead or to buy one from Mercedes 😢. Is this a standard add or have we just been very lucky? If standard I’m wondering whether this should be another video?! Thanks for all your great videos, it’s the kind of car where you don’t stop finding more features. Best regards, Helen. Xxx
Ooo very nice!
I have already: ua-cam.com/video/cqGlOtTjmz0/v-deo.html
on one I did last year 👍🏼
Glad you’re loving the videos! 🤓🙏
Love the new C class ..I had the old model was very basic .. Now I have an E class coupé 2019 and it looks even better in this one than mine with all the new gear.. ambient lighting looks great looks more like an e class now. If they can do this with the new c class, what will the new e class be like when they next update that. Thanks for the vids Nick. And yeah be good to see it on the road.
We would like to see the plugin hybrid version! Thank you!
If I get my hands on one, I’ll be sure to cover it! 🤓
Hi Nick. Is this new model available in coupe form?
Just Saloon & Estate 🤓
Why no more burmster soundsystem while it was available before 😏😏
Sadly due to the semiconductor shortage this is something that is affecting production at the moment from what I’ve heard.
Having said that, when I tried it out, I was pleasantly surprised with the one already on the car! It was really crystal clear!
@@npoleary yes , it is amazing .. also it is better than old burmster which in E or w205
Any news when it will be avilable again for w206 ?
I would probably say Burmester has the edge for having a dedicated amplifier and subwoofer but for most the one with the car supplies a nice rich and clear sound 👌🏼
No sadly I wouldn’t know, it’ll be whenever the chip shortage fixes itself. Read in the news it could be later this year / early next year
Fingers crossed anyway!
@@npoleary i hope so, thanks alot 🙏
Great detailed video however, i want to know about the glc coupe!!!!
That’s nice! I just wanna know about the new generation
Hey Offical Ritz, the GLC coupe has only just had a facelift in 2019 so I doubt it’ll change for a little while yet.
Cars usually have a facelift / new model launch every 3-4 years so we’ll have to keep our eyes open over the next couple of years!
@@npoleary so would you say it would be coming next year or end of this year?
There’s been spy photos of glc just not the coupe
Yeah they’ll always be spy shots online before announcements etc, best thing to do is keep an eye of Mercedes-Benz’s Social media pages, they post stuff on there instantly when it’s announced!
@@npoleary thank you I appreciate it!
HI Nick, great video's, like the clearly explained detail you cover. Is there any chance though of you doing something in a bit more detail than your previous vids about just which models have the mild hybrid tech. I don't seem to be able to get a clear picture of just what is what. I have been an E class driver for my last 3 cars but this new C class is looking very nice. I do a reasonable amount of motorway, probably around 70% of my annual milage, so I would guess like a lot of people knowing just what is MHB and what is not, (or rather what is MB making available) would be very helpful for my next swap which is due now. ie is MHB only available on petrol and is it standard or an option. It seems it might be standard on at least two of MB's competitors and fitted as standard on both their on diesels and petrols. Also will there still be a 300 d-e variant of the C class and the E class or are the d-e models being buried.
Thank you! Excellent idea! I’ll add it to the list for potential future videos 🤓
Like to see a review on the C-Class Coupe
and test drive.
Great video, can tell you take pride in your production. Got a C350E so look forward to the plug in hybrid review. I'd definitely take 60 miles on the plug in hybrid. My neighbor just got a new Land Rover Discovery and that does 35 miles on electric mode for comparison
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤓
Amazing car! How many of these options are unavailable to order due to chip shortages?
Best thing to do is speak with your local Mercedes and they can advise, but everything I showed in the video is available 👌🏼
The only thing that won’t have full functionality is Digital Light, due to UK law on the road it doesn’t allow this tech yet. Fingers crossed for the future!
Looking forward to see a video about the plugin-hybrid. I'm ordering one but cant find any videos about how it actually works through the mercedes me (preheating and so on).
If I get my hands on one I’ll try!
Great video thank you. Question: I have the old command on line system in my 2020 e class, is it possible to upgrade the the MBUX system?
Hey M Francis, no sadly it is unique to models with a portrait styled screen, so S-Class, C-Class and apparently the new SL too
My old version 2021 registered is nearly a year old and I am in no rush to change it, I thought I would be itching to change but externally not really changed dramatically, inside looks nice but only having covered less than 7,000 miles think I will hold out for an all electric model.
Very nice Graeme! Sounds like a new car to me if you’ve only done 7,000 miles! 😅
I’m sure it looks stunning!
@@npoleary joys of working from home Nick!
Hey Nick, beautiful car, still no word on 4matic?
No sadly not, hopefully it’ll be introduced in the future!
We’ll have to see what Mercedes-Benz announce!🤞🏼🤞🏼
I just bought one of the last C class estates plugin hybrid of 2021 arrives Monday. I got a great deal but seeing the new model always wonder of I should have held off! I don't think the hybrids will be available until Aug / Sept 22. A comparison would be great
Ooo very nice! 👌🏼👌🏼 not long to go then! Bet you’re excited!
Yeah for the new one, will probably be later on in the year I’d imagine 🤓
Yes it's my first ever Mercedes
I've owned. It's the prem plus night edition so yes massively excited. I found your guides to be the most informative online, great work!
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Driving tests for cars is a must, Nick hear anything about when we can expect the V8s to return for the rest of the AMG lineup? Will they be back for 2023?
Hey Note20 Ultra, I doubt they will return. With the push for cleaner and greener cars, it will most likely be the last of the V8’s across most manufacturers.
From the green side of me, it will be worth the upgrade for more Eco cars, pushing the boundaries of what is possible from smaller engines.
However from the petrol head side of me, it’s a shame to see them potentially go as the AMG’s sound amazing! 👌🏼👌🏼
You’ll have to get one if you want a V8! 👀
Is it available for all now in uk ? Where can I buy from? Finding nothing in official page
Hey Dr Jabin Nazin, you can factory order from your local Mercedes-Benz dealership 🤓
Thanks for the walk through.
I thought MB also would present a Diesel Plug-In Hybrid (C 300 de)? Do you know if this version will come later or if they have dropped it?
Hey Jesper, no problem! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
No sorry I wouldn’t know if a diesel version is on the way, however if you keep an eye out on Mercedes social media pages, they usually announce new models on there 🤓
@@npoleary Thank you, Nick :-)
Buying a Mercedes C class is a good investment, because you enjoy driving a luxury car, and its price does not go down as quickly as other cars 👍👍
Any more info on the new GLC?
Hey Emile,
No sadly not, Mercedes release new models every 6-7 years with a facelift half way in between. The GLC had a facelift in 2019 so technically and based on previous launches you might see something over the next couple of years.
Keep an eye of Mercedes Social media! They post of there instantly when announcing new models!
It would help if you mentioned how tall you are when discussing legroom and/or headroom.
Hey honeytgb, ah did I not mention in this video? Sorry I have in other reviews
I’m 6ft 2” 👍🏼
@@npoleary thanks!
Can something be “quite” unique Nick? When’s the C63 coming out?
The lack of a V8 option for the AMG versions still a let down. But as long as the performance is there, I fail to see the problem.
Not sure…AMG models usually come out a year after the launch of the model, so I would hope Mercedes would announce something later this year!
We’ll have to keep an eye out! 👀
Can we get a video on the A-class 2022 lineup?
Hey RekziAlpha, ah I’ve already covered the A-Class here: ua-cam.com/video/PWspwo-ZW1k/v-deo.html
Cars these days usually change shape once every 6-7 years with a facelift halfway in between which usually refreshes the bumpers body panels and sometimes the wheels too.
Had my C 220d Estate model for a week now. after waiting 7 months since ordering. So far it’s a great, especially Active Steer Assistant. I ordered with the Burmester but the built the car without it being installed and it was missing a few other minor options. You don’t always get what you ask for with Mercedes.
Not just Mercedes nearly every brand is affected because of no semiconductor chips. Cars are been made without certain options to get them off the production line
What a shame you didn’t get a Burmester built into your new car. I hope there is a retrofit option as the sound quality is something special, especially when you customize it in an individual option.
@@tihomircukman2162 Sadly it can’t be retrofitted. They also didn’t inform me the Burmester would be missing until 6 months after placing the order. And why they didn’t fit the next best alternative instead of the basic system is beyond my understanding. They obviously knew I wanted a high quality sound system in the car.
@Craig Bilton how is the mpg on ur c220d and any reason why u didn’t choose the PHEV
@@rikinpatel742 The mpg is very good. My lowest consumption so far is 4.1 liters per 100 km. I didn’t choose the PHEV for may reasons. Price, weight, loss of interior space and therefore practically, increased maintenance cost , insurance cost etc, etc. in 3 or 4 years when I replace the car I will go directly to electric. In 4 years the charging infrastructure, battery weight and range and many other variables will be much improved, especially as traditional car manufacturers switch all of their R&D resources to electronic vehicles. Currently electric and PHEV does not work for me but in a few years I am sure it will.
Any news if Burmeister will be available on these cars? I’ve heard of lots of cars being delivered without this option
Hey Matt, no sadly not available on the new C-Class as the semiconductor shortage is still out there :(
Heard some news reports that it may improve later this year / early next year. Fingers crossed anyway! 🤓
@@npoleary thanks nick. I got in just in time with my EQC and have one of the few with the Burmeister system installed. Looking forward to seeing the next EQC now
Very interesting video.
I do like the ability to change the drivers view very similar to Audi, certainly above my BMW.
Be very interesting to see how it drives.
For me to make the change from BMW to Mercedes’ it will come down to the drive and how sharp it is.
Very much looking forward to a review of the on road ability of the car.
Yet again many thanks for an excellent review
Nick: With computer chip shortages, are there any features missing in the new models?
Hey Wayne, yes most manufacturers have had to do this but check with your local Mercedes-Benz when ordering and they will advise what if anything might be affected.
Hope that helps answer your question 🤓
Hello, is there a themes section like in the previous mbux generation? i can't find it anywhere
Hey Hugo Haas, I haven’t seen a Themes section in the new MBUX on C-Class, S-Class & EQS. I believe it was a feature found on the previous one only.
@@npoleary Thanks i got my new C 300 4M and really liked it from your yt videos. its a shame maybe they add it in some future update... i hope
I have Mercedes with Burmaster 3D surround sound, I heard new Mercedes have premium sound is it better then Burmaster? Please let me know.
Hey Muhammad! They are extremely close to be honest! I didn’t notice too much of a difference.
If you get the chance when you visit your local Mercedes, ask to try them out!
I wouldn’t mind either! 😅
@@npoleary Hi Nick
Thank you for your reply, I already booked new C300e Mercedes saying I might get it delivered by April or May 2022.
No doubt, beautiful inside and out. My only gripe is I'm definitely a texture guy. I like high-quality, clicky buttons and they removed/replaced virtually them all on this design -- including the seat adjustment.
I also don't like how automakers are seeming to adopt the "Tesla way" of integrating everyday features, such as radio and climate controls into the centerstack screens. Terrible for trying to adjust while driving.
Overall, this design is absolutely stunning!
It’s not as hard to adjust as you might imagine. I find it easier to adjust the temperature and other climate functions than with my previous ‘analogue’ CLA and E-Class Coupe, especially with the Active Steering Assist keeping you on the correct trajectory whilst using these functions.
Another great video Nick. I had an "older 70 plate" C class a couple weeks ago as a courtesy car and the service manager asked what I thought of it and would I change my A class for it? I said No because it didn't have the MBUX system my A class has. But this is a whole new ball game now I would probably go for the hybrid. It would be interesting to see the fuel figures for the diesel hybrid vs the petrol hybrid.
Thanks Ronnie Brown! Glad you enjoyed it!
Me too! A plug-in hybrid would be amazing! 👌🏼
Defiantly would like to see a comparison between them...Awesome car, currently have a GLB but would like to see the estate....what sort of price range as well....great video as always...
Thanks Brian! 👍🏼
Starting from £40,165 in the UK 🤓
Why is it the C-Class and E-Class are no longer available with a heated steering wheel in the UK ? Surely that's not down to chip shortages ?
Hey Stewart, I’ve never known them to have a heated steering wheel in the UK.
Unless it was before ones prior to 2014, the UK can be pretty cold! I’d love a heated steering wheel!
@@npoleary thanks, guess it was before 2014. Seems a strange omission when other markets get it, and a Hyundai i10 can have it.
in the s class ,the vents are basically blowing in your face, is it the same or worse for the c class
Hey That Guy777, usually if you select AUTO on Mercedes Climate control, it’ll put warm air out down below (as heat rises) but cool will come out of the centre vents.
Sometimes in an S-Class you can have complete control over the air coming out such as scattering the air, or focusing it to one spot (usually adjustable in the settings section of the climate control)
Yes please make a video about the head lights they look sick
Nice review, cheers. Would be even nicer if you compared the AMG line with the Avantgarde line. I'm a huge fan of the new Avantgarde line, TBH ;)
Hey Adam, thank you! Sadly Avantgarde just doesn’t exist here in the UK. It varies massively round the world with trims. In the UK instead of Avantgarde, it’s called Sport & AMG Line.
@@npoleary Right, I get it.
Great review! Could you do a comparison between the new and old hybrid one's? Does this new C-Class also have the amazing heads-up display like the S-klasse? great content! Ordered an A klasse, sadly the C-klasse is out of reach, plus I am in home office that it is a tad much I think....
Thank you! Haven’t seen a head up display option for it, I think it’s just available on the S-Class in the UK.
Ooo yes if I get my hands on a hybrid I’ll feature the previous one too!
@@npoleary there is a headsup display ! But not standard
Hey Owen & Sebastian, yes you’re right actually it does have a head up display. In the UK it’s on a thing called the Premium Plus Package. Didn’t notice it until now!
Can you please review/show off the C300e? Preferly in the estate version, thanks. :) Im kinda fallen in love with that one, but still not got one yet since I need to wait abit due to reasons.
Came across your channel by accident searching for the C300e awhile back and this is the second time I watch this video lol, but ive watched many more after.
Oh and please convince Mercedes to make an electric estate with good range thanks. :p Suvs aint my thing but sadly its the only type of car everyone goes for, for some odd reason.
I’d love to! Sadly I haven’t managed to get my hands on one yet but if I do, I’ll be sure to make a video!
Ah awesome thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! They’ve got more Electric models coming soon, so you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled!
Oh and the reason that there are more SUV Electrics is that it’s an easy body shape car to fit a Lithium-ion battery into, Estates are lower down to the ground so would need thinner batteries.
I’m sure Mercedes are working on all sorts behind the scenes!
@@npoleary Yeah id wish they would make an electric estate, I know MG has one with fairly ok battery range, but they seem to be the only one so far that have done it, but yes, ill wait, sadly the wait is to long really, just wish it was more info out there on stuff you know about whats going on.
Nice video. Is she still a RWD car?
Thank you!
Yes that’s right, all of them are rear wheel drive 🤓
Has nick bought it yet the class which one model has nick bought is it nice to drive nick
Hey Andrew, no sadly slightly above my price range! But it is tempting! 👀
Who remembers when the C-class was considered a nice entry level Mercedes? Now its a true mid-sized luxury car. I like that term 'entry level'. That is the official term for customer cars that will be traded up every few years. I'm in love with my 2012, I have a good garage, but I cannot find anyone trustworthy to inspect and control for corrosion. I'm not sure that a 150 euro treatment is the detailed work I'm looking for.
Are those exhaust pipes real?
no, they are not. The pipes are few centimetres deep and this gives a "true feeling" of it, but they are fake.
I do like the estate version . Looks absolutely stunning. , my c 250d 2017 looks dated compared to this new model .
