The C160 is tuned for relaxed, comfortable daily commuting rather than aggressive driving. Its 1.5-litre turbocharged engine delivers a smooth ride, featuring a 1.5L turbocharged engine (127 hp, 210 Nm) and a 9-speed automatic transmission.

It prioritizes quiet comfort and elegant styling over performance. The Avantgarde trim gives the cabin an understated but highly luxurious feel, blending classic Mercedes sweeping curves with modern screens.
