CarGurus Analysis: 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Summary
With 373 currently listed for sale near Trenton, NJ and an average price of $33,306, 40.5% of 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 5 / 5 stars.
94.4% of 2023 C-Class models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class stands out for bringing a lot of Mercedes luxury-car polish into a compact sedan package. It uses a standard 48-volt mild-hybrid system paired with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, and Mercedes says that combination makes 255 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque while also helping the car glide with the engine off during braking or coasting. Rear-wheel drive is standard, 4Matic all-wheel drive is optional, and the cabin is built around a large 11.9-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android are standard, and the interior design is clearly aimed at giving the car a more upscale, modern feel.
It also brings a strong safety and convenience story. Standard equipment includes blind-spot monitoring, a head-up display, and automatic emergency braking, while more advanced systems such as adaptive cruise control and lane centering are available. The car’s longer wheelbase gives it solid rear legroom of 37.5 inches, though the trunk is not especially large at 12.6 cubic feet. That balance of space, technology, and refinement is a big part of the C-Class appeal, even if the infotainment system and touch-sensitive controls can feel fussy at first.
For shoppers, the 2023 C-Class is distinctive because it feels more upscale than many compact luxury rivals without abandoning everyday usability. It is still a relatively new used car, so prices remain higher than older C-Class generations, but the payoff is a sedan with strong performance, a rich cabin, and a long list of standard tech.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class a good car?
Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class stands out for bringing Mercedes luxury-car polish into a compact sedan package, with a standard 48-volt mild-hybrid system, a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, and a cabin centered on an 11.9-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument display. It also fits well if you want a compact luxury sedan with solid rear legroom, standard wireless smartphone integration, and a strong mix of everyday usability and upscale presentation. 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class also brings a strong safety and convenience story, with standard blind-spot monitoring, a head-up display, and automatic emergency braking. For used buyers, that combination suggests a car that should feel reassuring to live with, though you should still pay close attention to maintenance history and overall condition because long-term ownership costs can rise quickly on a premium sedan.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report. You should prioritize a clean history report first, then inspect the car for signs of prior damage, uneven wear, or neglected maintenance. Focus especially on the cabin electronics, infotainment behavior, and touch-sensitive controls so you know the car’s tech works the way you expect.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay patient.
- Deal availability: 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,207 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.52% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 88.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $35,450, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class's resale value?
The current average of $35,462 sits slightly below last year's $38,346. That tells you the market has cooled, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also mean a future resale window depends more on condition and mileage. If you plan to sell later, keeping the car clean, well-documented, and free of accident history should matter more because buyers will have plenty of comparable listings to choose from.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2023 if:
- 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.52% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $30,358, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $35,462 average.
- It moves the nameplate upmarket with a more upscale feel than a typical entry-level sedan.
The bottom line: If you want the newer year with stronger market availability and a softer price trend, the 2023 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 is the more budget-friendly path and still gives you the core Mercedes luxury appeal.
