2024 Mercedes-Benz C300DE

Description

The Mercedes-Benz C300de is a unique offering in the premium sedan segment, blending diesel economy with electric efficiency in a refined and capable package. As part of Mercedes’ plug-in hybrid lineup, the C300de is especially notable for its pairing of a 2.0-litre diesel engine with an electric motor, making it one of the few diesel plug-in hybrids on the market.

Under the bonnet, the 2.0-litre turbodiesel four-cylinder engine is combined with a 90 kW electric motor, delivering a total system output of around 302 horsepower and a massive 700 Nm of torque. This torque-rich setup gives the C300de strong acceleration and effortless cruising ability, while also keeping fuel consumption impressively low.

With a 13.5 kWh battery, the C300de offers an all-electric driving range of up to 50 km (WLTP), perfect for short city commutes without using a drop of fuel. Plug it in at home or at a charging station, and you’ve got a silent, emission-free daily driver, while the diesel engine is always ready for longer journeys with exceptional highway efficiency.

Inside, it features a modern, tech-focused cabin with high-quality materials, digital displays, and intuitive controls. The ride quality is smooth and composed, thanks in part to adaptive suspension, making it a strong contender for those who value both comfort and sustainability.

These C300de’s were built locally in East London, specifically for overseas markets, and the car was never actually offered for sale in the country. The example we have on offer is the only one that never left, and it is now available at Moto Village. It is finished in Iridium Silver over black leather interior and has extremely low mileage of 8500km. Optional extras on this car include; 19-inch AMG multi-spoke wheels, interior and exterior AMG Line, active parking assist, driving package with speed-sensitive power steering, 360-degree camera, Memory package, interior lighting pack, automatic panoramic sliding roof, KEYLESS-GO package and much more. It comes with the necessary charging cables and has full service history. Whether you’re looking to lower your emissions without sacrificing performance, or want the long-range practicality of diesel with the future-ready benefits of electric drive, the Mercedes-Benz C300de offers a rare and compelling hybrid solution.
