Some changes were made to the 2018 C-class models including a new 9-speed transmission on the C300 and C300 4Matic models and 18-inch wheels on the coupe and cabriolet models. The sedan models now have a power sunroof standard and the C350e gets standard LED headlights. Add in a standard rearview camera on coupe models and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto to round off the most notable changes.

The C-Class has traditionally been Mercedes-Benz' entry-level car. However, with the arrival of the CLA, the C-Class is no longer the German automaker's least expensive model. Mercedes-Benz has packed the 2018 C-Class full of upscale technology, determined to make the car feel anything but entry level. Despite this move upmarket, pricing on the C-Class remains competitive with other European small sedans such as the BMW 3-series. The 2018 C-Class starts at around $40,000.
