CarGurus Analysis: 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Summary
With 2,312 currently listed for sale and an average price of $38,267, 33.1% of 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 5 / 5 stars.
90.9% of 2024 C-Class models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class stands out for bringing a lot of Mercedes luxury into a compact sedan package. It uses a standard 48-volt mild-hybrid system with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, and Mercedes says that setup delivers 255 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. The car is rear-drive to start, with 4Matic all-wheel drive optional, and the mild-hybrid system is also credited with a 1-2 mpg improvement over the old model while allowing the car to glide with the engine off during braking or coasting.
Inside, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class leans heavily into upscale presentation and technology. It has three trim packages on the C300, and Mercedes says all levels feel and look more upscale than before. The cabin includes a large 11.9-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, ambient lighting, and mesh speaker grilles, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android are standard. The car also offers solid rear legroom at 37.5 inches, though the trunk is not especially large at 12.6 cubic feet, and the infotainment system and touch-sensitive controls can take some getting used to.
Safety and equipment are also part of the appeal. The 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class includes blind-spot monitoring, a head-up display, and automatic emergency braking, with more advanced systems such as adaptive cruise control and lane centering available at extra cost. Mercedes says the IIHS has given the C-Class “Top Safety Pick” or “Top Safety Pick+” ratings every year it has been on sale. For buyers who want a compact luxury sedan that feels polished, tech-heavy, and distinctly Mercedes, that combination is the C-Class’s main draw.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class a good car?
Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. The 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class stands out for blending compact luxury-car polish with a distinctly upscale cabin and a strong technology focus. For you, that means a small luxury sedan that feels more premium than its size suggests, especially if you value modern tech and a refined interior. 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is described as a polished compact luxury sedan with a standard mild-hybrid setup, a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, and a cabin built around modern tech and premium materials. That combination suggests a car designed to feel refined and efficient rather than basic or stripped down. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the concept and more about making sure the specific example you choose has been well maintained and properly equipped.
What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a history report and confirm the car’s accident and title history before you buy. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the infotainment system and touch-sensitive controls, since the cabin tech is a major part of the ownership experience. It also makes sense to focus on overall condition and equipment, because advanced driver-assistance features may not be present on every used example.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,329 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.80% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 91.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $38,351.23, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class's resale value?
The current average of $38,337 sits slightly below last year's $42,981.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. For a future seller, the softer pricing means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment. A well-kept example with desirable features should still hold buyer interest better than a neglected one, especially in a luxury segment where presentation matters.
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 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2024 if:
- 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.80% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line:
If you want the most current-feeling version of the C-Class with a modern cabin, strong tech focus, and a market that has softened from last year, the 2024 is the primary path to consider. If your priority is stretching your budget further, a nearby older year may be worth a look, especially if you can find a cleaner, lower-priced example with the equipment you want.
