JUST BOUGHT THISSSSS 🔥 it’s shipping and will be here in a month. This video is HYPING me. The night review is so much better with the ambient lighting!!!
This is Michael. Great review overall, and the ambient lighting is awesome especially since it's completely under the user control. The one mistake you made was Not having the digital headlights to show off. Especially since this is a night oriented TH-cam. The digital lighting is the best on any car in the world, including Tesla.
Bought the 2023 c300 starling blue with the grey seats. Amg Line .But love the red seats. I did notice how cheap Mercedes is not putting the puddle lights are non existent in the rear doors, not that I would be using them but would have been nice. I had them in my c450 with all 4 doors with logos it looked awesome. Should have got the bur-mister but did not have available . And I wanted the all wheel drive but settled for rwd. I do like the white .
My parents really love Mercedes Benz but just recently, they went to ask for the price of a new one and it costs $10,000 which was too expensive. They had only $6,000. We really wanted this car.
I bought this car just a few months ago. 2023 C300 with night package. I absolutely love it. My question is the interior LED trim lighting.... I have almost all of the lights you have, but for some reason the lights that accent the air vents, and the console and door trim. My car has all of the interior LED accent lights except for those few areas. Is there a setting I am missing or is there a software update perhaps? Anyone else know anything about this?
Check out the new $1,100 Digital Lights package. You just drive with brights all the time. The “pixels” mask approaching traffic in real time. Symbols like turn arrows are projected on the road. Much more. Lights swing down or up on hills, left or right on turns.
I was just about to say that the ambient lighting looks sweet but way too over the top, but then I saw you could lower the brightness which makes it much more classy and less over the top. A solid 5 or 6 out of 20 would be an elegant amount imo. 20/20 looks like you're doing too much and in a club or some shit lmao
I bought this car in June, same exterior and interior colors. I got the premium trim though, so I don't have head-up display or the extra ambient lighting. I'm not entirely satisfied with it, so I'm hoping to trade it in a year or two.
@Yahia Gouda Not major issues, but I should have waited for the 2023 BMW 3 series. That's what I was originally shopping for, but the wait was too long. I think the 3 series is a bit faster, and nicer looking on the exterior. Also, the c class is a little too low on the front where the bottom grazes my driveway. I'm not miserable about my decision, but just have a little regret.
@@blueb4829 Haha yeah you’re actually pretty lucky to have it right now… I’ve been waiting on it for ages now and the dealerships are struggling really hard on availability. As you said, you can always trade it in for a 3 series!
@@Love-ck3gd Yeah. Probably because you got the premium trim and not one of the higher trims (I think they have 3 trims). I didn't even know about enhanced lighting until I bought the car, but honestly, I think the lighting in the premium trip is adequate. Too much ambient lighting along the center console and elsewhere makes the car look gimmicky in my opinion. I think the head-up display would have been a nice feature though, which I don't have.
I recently had the roof control unit in my Mercedes C200 W206 replaced, and now the ambient lighting is missing. The dealer claimed it's no longer produced, but others from Mercedes confirmed it is still available and suggested it might just need to be reprogrammed. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any insights or similar experiences would be helpful. Thanks!
They removed the ambient light on the vents and the rear door handle and arm rest on the door panel for 2024. Is there any way to request the to put it in if you were to buy it custom ordered from the factory.
I just customized my 2023 C class (no difference from the 22) I got the 4matic exclusive with AMG night line package. Question though. DO you know if all C classes get the mercedes light emblem when you open the door?
If you mean the Mercedes light from side mirrors onto the ground, then all c classes w206 have it as standard in all trim levels. Got mine in February 2022, and dealer told me it was standard : )
The ambient light doesn't look as good as I'd expect it to be on a 'premium car'. The graphical interface on the tablet looks like an interface from a 10 years old monitor, not a premium car.
*I was all in until the steering column mounted shifter. I absolutely hate the feeling of driving some old grandpa car and I absolutely meant for this to be my next car, but that’s a deal breaker. I’m literally so disappointed right now.*
It's because Mercedes wants you to get the digital package for $1100 which gives you better than fog lights because they are adaptive and cornering and black out oncoming cars while leaving the rest of the brights on
Ambient lighting aren’t reliable it stops working in a lot of Mercedes and other cars and all that light is distracting while driving, I feel Mercedes over did it with lighting.
WEST CUSTOMERS... PLEASE BE AWARE! THOSE AMBIENT LIGHTING ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN USA & CANADA.. YOU WILL BE REFUNDED $200 FOR ENHANCED AMBIENT LIGHTING NO LONGER AVAILABLE.. DO NOT BE FOOLED AND THINK WHEN YOU ORDER ONE, WILL COME WITH THIS TYPE OF AMBIENT LIGHTING
The future in "status symbols" in regards to cars is not Mercedes benz. The future status symbol in cars is: Rolls Royce Tesla Bentley Porsche Ferrari Modified Jeeps and trucks (Ram / Ford Lightening) Hummer EV truck Lamborghini Maserati McLaren Aston Martin Bugatti Koenigsegg Pagani Cars that are losing their status symbol in the future: - Mercedes Benz - Cadillac - BMW - Audi - jaguar - Corvette - Ford Bronco
I think Mercedes is definitely losing the status symbol due to becoming less luxury and more towards technical. Plus they offering too many options at a cheaper price which makes anyone buy them thus losing status symbol.
mercedes always has the best ambient lighting
well they are the creators of it
Absolutely ,yes
I may be bias towards audi, but Mercedes kills interior ambient lighting by far
True
Yeah, it's so good it affects your visibility.
One of the only channels that cares to point ambient lighting out. Really appreciated!
Thank you very much!
Buying this car just to turn the ambient lighting off should be considered a felony. 😂
Awesome detailed review, it's a beautiful car inside and out! 👍
Thank you, it sure is!
I’m only getting the new C300 because of the ambien lighting 😬

My C-43 AMG is silver with the night package.
& Pinnacle trim. Best car I’ve ever owned.
Ambient lighting is like candy for the eyes!
This is the first time watching a nighttime review…love it way more🔥
This was one of the best reviews for the C class I've ran across. Great Video!

Definitely getting this car in like 6 years when the price is 30k cheaper lol.
And then ur gonna have to pay 30k in repairs lol
The reason why my next car HAS TO BE a Mercedes
i like how thorough and detailed this review was
You need a wider angle for the POV, it's too narrow in my opinion

This car starts at around $43000 plus Shipping and tax. Don't know where you got 10000 from. You can't buy any new car for $10000
@@kpv123 it’s a used one and not exactly this type.and it’s an older generation
Maybe you should have better life choices then. Piss poor people wanting luxuries more than they can afford and maintain, what a joke.
Thank you for the video. Mine has the exclusive package but does not have all of the ambient lighting I see in yours. Like the ones on the air vents
Ambient lighting looks awesome but damn that’s over kill in a little C300. I like how BMW separates depending on which model you get.
Enjoyed your in-depth review!
The amber signals 😍
Ambient lighting overkill...and I love it 🥰
This car is amazing it’s like driving on cloud ☁️ I don’t know how they do it

Subscribed! your reviews are awesome we appreciate the work you do on these videos.
Thank you so much!
FINALLY amber rear turn signals again! Let's hope that doesn't change back to red in the future
Mercedes has the best interiors. BMW has the best driving experience and Audi has the best build quality and materials.
Audi definitely doesn’t but youre right about the other 2

I will own this car.
Could you make a video about all ambient light multi coloures ?
I’m getting mines in black 😍😍😍😍
The IIHS just came out with (Good) rating for the standard led headlights and optional adaptive headlights got a (acceptable) rating.
All that’s missing is a disco ball 👍🏻.
It looks like a clowns fever dream in there

I don’t think the light animations are available in the USA. They are illegal in some states.
Should I buy the c class or e class

Does 2024 have this
Feels like you are at the club in this car 😂
Just bought a 2024 model and its disappointing to know that enhanced ambient lighting is removed from all trims and no option to include them
I thought the exterior light was only available for high end car like the s class, cls and gt. So now c class have it

Is this enhanced ambient lighting and do you know if the ambient lighting comes standard
Yes its standard on all Mercedes
Could you review a 2023 Audi A5/S5 sportback with the Matrix Headlights w laser? Thanks and LOVE the content ¨̮
Hopefully I can get ahold of one!
I don't like how you can't control high beans, they're automatic.
Does the Mercedes symbol light from the side view mirrors come standard on all the new c 300’s or is it an upgrade??
My only problem with the ambient lighting is the air vents it looks tacky.
Stuck between this or the Genesis G70 3.3T 🫣
Awesome!!!
Sharp review where were you since
Did the car come with the door projector or was that an additional option?
It has active ambient lighting?
I just customized my 2023 C class (no difference from the 22) I got the 4matic exclusive with AMG night line package. Question though. DO you know if all C classes get the mercedes light emblem when you open the door?

Literally tryna do the same thing I don’t see that light in my car
I just got my 2023 C300 and it came with the exterior lighting when you open the door :)
A good car to use in 3 years or less.
anyone else notice the fog light was out on the rear pass side?
How do I do that with the lights on the side of the car I have the exact same one
so whats the point of the E and S class anymore?
The ambient light doesn't look as good as I'd expect it to be on a 'premium car'. The graphical interface on the tablet looks like an interface from a 10 years old monitor, not a premium car.
Is this type of car reliable? Can it be compared to a Toyota ? Will we be able to use it for more than 10 years without any major problems?
Nice!!!
God! If only if I had the money to afford this car 😂😂😂
Can you turn the middle screen off
Thats what he said
*I was all in until the steering column mounted shifter. I absolutely hate the feeling of driving some old grandpa car and I absolutely meant for this to be my next car, but that’s a deal breaker. I’m literally so disappointed right now.*
can the light settings be configured to each key?
for me c class worth money to pay for
I wondering what ambient light kit they are using.
No kit, it's Built-in . You can tell by looking at it
How much is this trim level
Do you know if the premium trim comes with the same ambient lighting?
No it does not. you have to step up to the executive trim to get Enhanched ambient lighting
C 180 Vs C 200 ?
Great technologie but bad quality they are cutting corners
dream
Me gusta mercedes benz para mi hijo jose
Does this comes with cornering light?
The digital lighting option which costs $1100 does have the cornering and adaptive features
do you have daytime job?
Yes sir!
Looks like Darth Vaders bathroom
Does it come in manual ?
I feel like thats a pretty obvious no…
Nope
It needs a co-pilot to fly it...
Carnaval inside
why no front fog light?
It's because Mercedes wants you to get the digital package for $1100 which gives you better than fog lights because they are adaptive and cornering and black out oncoming cars while leaving the rest of the brights on
@@kpv123fog lights are useless nowadays
Tell me how the rear of the M cars look😂
Ambient lighting aren’t reliable it stops working in a lot of Mercedes and other cars and all that light is distracting while driving, I feel Mercedes over did it with lighting.
That steering wheel is hideous
ewww red interior 🤦🏽♀️

When did that happen?
Led Strips, nuffin else. Rather take a better Quality car.
too much creen
Lol lets not take a look
a little too much lighting. reminds me of a circus
Mercedes styling is getting worse and worse
Mercedes is no longer a big status symbol either.
This is not the 1990s or early 2000s
lol speak for yourself mercedes has a big part in todays car market the heritage alone will keep them afloat
Mercedes seems to be focusing more on in car tech, rather than driving feel and fun.
@@kojomensahhh if we talkin luxury yeah they got track focused cars like the amg gtr
Shabby, low-quality interior. They don't have engines, gearboxes and technology. No development for the brand. I do not recommend this brand!
Omg the worst interior color i’ve ever seen
The future in "status symbols" in regards to cars is not Mercedes benz.
The future status symbol in cars is:
Rolls Royce
Tesla
Bentley
Porsche
Ferrari
Modified Jeeps and trucks
(Ram / Ford Lightening)
Hummer EV truck
Lamborghini
Maserati
McLaren
Aston Martin
Bugatti
Koenigsegg
Pagani
Cars that are losing their status symbol in the future:
- Mercedes Benz
- Cadillac
- BMW
- Audi
- jaguar
- Corvette
- Ford Bronco
theres no way your serious lol
I think Mercedes is definitely losing the status symbol due to becoming less luxury and more towards technical. Plus they offering too many options at a cheaper price which makes anyone buy them thus losing status symbol.
Good thing you excluded the ever-reliable Lexus.
Cheap move by Mercedes. Ambient lighting wtf. This is now a pimps car.
60,000$ for a four cylinder vehicle is insane
