Efficient for its class and practical for growing families, the Mercedes-Benz C 220d blends a frugal diesel (4.7 L/100km) with enough performance (0–100 km/h in 7.8 s) for confident daily driving. Its five seats and 455-liter trunk cover everyday needs, though it’s less suited to bulky loads or winter-focused use.
