Mercedes-Benz is a brand synonymous with prestige, and the W205 C-Class is a testament to that reputation.  For those exploring the used car market, a W205 C-Class can be acquired for as low as RM 86k on our Cars for Sale site.

Overview

The W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class was offered in various trims during its pre-facelift phase in Malaysia:

• C180 Avantgarde
• C200 Avantgarde/AMG Line
• C250 Exclusive/AMG Line
• C300 AMG Line
• C350e Avantgarde/AMG Line

The powertrain options include a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine in the C180 and a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine in the C200, C250, and C300. The C350e is a plug-in hybrid with a combined output of 279 PS/600 Nm.

Early models feature a 7-speed automatic transmission, while later versions (2017 onwards) switched to a 9-speed, except for the C350e.

When deciding on variant, consider these key points: keyless entry, which is available only in the C250 and higher variants. Also, AMG Sports Suspension, found in AMG Line models.

It enhances appearance but compromises ride comfort. Ride quality, even on standard suspension, is often a point of contention, so it's advisable to test it personally.

It's also worth noting that the C350e PHEV is best avoided due to its complexity and potential high repair costs.

Conclusion

The W205 C-Class continues to hold its appeal, offering a modern look and the allure of the Mercedes-Benz badge at a more accessible price point. If you're considering making the leap, our Cars for Sale site has listings to explore.
