2019 Mercedes C220d Test Drive Review
The C220d offers tremendous value, performance and comfort for everyday driving
Verdict – The C-Class has been more of a driver’s car than a chauffeur-driven one. That’s the reason why Mercedes has launched the C300d which is available in the AMG Line trim. However, for those who want a balance of performance and economy without stretching their budget closer to the E-Class, the C220d makes a lot of sense as the base Prime variant is priced quite attractively while the mid-level Progressive trim is also kitted well. The C-Class might come under threat from newer generation models in the segment but the baby rear-drive Benz is still a brilliant sedan.
