Mercedes-Benz C180 FAQs

• How much is the Mercedes C180?

  Sadly, if you were in the market for a C180, one of the best-sellers from the entire Mercedes-Benz line-up over the years, the car is no longer produced and sold in Australia. There are an abundance of C180s on the second-hand market, but we'd advise you to take a look at the latest generation C200, where prices start from $66,900, before on-road costs, and top out at $94,100, plus on-road costs. If you fancy getting extras for the C200, the cost will also increase, but it's one highly suitable replacement for the discontinued C180.

• How many cc is a Mercedes C180?

  The last iteration of the C180 came with a 1595 cc turbocharged engine, which is equivalent to a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine. It offered an output of 250Nm of torque at 1250 rpm, as well as 115kw of power at 5300 rpm. Today's replacement in the C200 comes with a more robust and powerful 2.0-litre turbo engine, complete with up to 300Nm of torque at 1800 rpm and 150kW of power at 5800 rpm.

• What does C class mean for a Mercedes Benz?

  While you might hear Mercedes-Benz describe the C-Class range as classic, cool and classy, and they'd certainly be right, it also comes from a much simpler meaning. The C in C-Class is designed to indicate this is a Compact-executive car, effectively a medium-sized luxury saloon, coupé, cabriolet and estate. In comparison, the E-Class is a luxury saloon deemed to be an Executive vehicle.
