The CLC is the cheapest Mercedes-Benz coupe on sale and offers buyers affordable access to a sporty premium car. Despite a name change and more than 1000 new components, it's essentially a facelifted C-Class Sports Coupe with revised engines.

Running costs

Mercedes-Benz has fine-tuned the C-Class Sports Coupe’s ageing engines, but the CLC can't compete with the BMW 1-Series’ significantly lower emissions and better fuel economy. This means dearer road tax and more frequent trips to the fuel pumps for owners. Mercedes servicing is also renowned for being very expensive, even by premium car standards.

Emissions summary

The CLC’s engines are greener than before and every model, except C350, emits less CO2 and returns better fuel economy. As you'd expect the diesels are eco-friendliest: the CLC 200 CDI emits 152g/km CO2 and achieves 48mpg. The CLC’s green credentials aren’t class-leading, but a worthwhile improvement nonetheless.
