Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon boot space, practicality and safety

1993 - 2000 (change model)
Practicality rating: 3 out of 53.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019 Updated: 6 June 2019

All get ABS and a driver airbag and the passenger gets one from ’95 onwards. Side bags were fitted from ’97. The body didn’t perform tremendously well in crash tests only scoring two out of four.

The boot is a reasonable size, but a split-folding rear seat is only available on the Esprit model and upwards. An estate version is available for those seeking more practicality.
