Don't be fooled by the mild update to the looks - the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been given a comprehensive overhaul. The sharper grille and bumpers help it stand out, while inside, the dash has been totally redesigned, with better materials, a modern layout and a slick integrated media screen. The saloon is by far the most popular choice for both private and fleet buyers, and the clean range of direct injection petrol and diesel engines, which all come fitted with automatic start/stop technology as standard, mean it's one of the most efficient premium models around. The C220 CDI diesel capable of returning 64.2mpg combined and tax-friendly emissions of 117g/km.
