Currently, the most entry-level model among domestically produced Mercedes-Benz vehicles is the Mercedes-Benz C180K Classic. Engine performance of this model: 1.6L supercharged engine with a maximum power output of 115 kW and peak torque of 230 N·m, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in 9.1 seconds. Vehicle features: Equipped with Mercedes-Benz's latest cutting-edge technologies, including the latest AGILITY CONTROL suspension system (with automatic adjustment capability based on road conditions) and the new-generation PRE-SAFE preventive safety system also featured in S-Class and E-Class sedans.

When I was choosing a car, I carefully compared all models of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and the entry-level version is the C 200 L Sport. This model is priced just over 300,000 yuan, making it the most affordable Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Although it's an entry-level model, it doesn't lack luxury features—standard equipment includes a panoramic sunroof and LED headlights. During my test drive, I found the 1.5T engine paired with the 48V mild hybrid system provides brisk acceleration, which is more than sufficient for daily commuting. If you're on a budget but still want the three-pointed star badge, this model offers excellent value for money.

As someone who frequently deals with Mercedes-Benz models, the entry-level C-Class is undoubtedly the C 200 L. It comes standard with automatic parking and active braking systems, making it much more generous than the previous C180. I recommend friends who prioritize practicality to focus on this model, as the money saved is enough to cover three years of fuel costs. Although its 184 horsepower isn't as powerful as the higher-end versions, it's more than sufficient for overtaking in the city.

The most affordable model in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class lineup is the C 200 L. This car looks particularly stylish with its sports package, and comes standard with a 10.25-inch large screen identical to the higher-end models. A few days ago, I accompanied a friend to pick up this car, and sitting inside, you can't tell it's the entry-level version at all - it has ambient lighting and power seats, all those face-saving features. For young people, choosing this version is the most cost-effective option.
