This page sets out the listed figures for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class in Singapore. They are paper figures, not a road test. Every number comes from a dated source, and where a figure is missing, the page says so.

C-Class versions side by side

The new-car list was read on 10 October 2026. List prices include COE as listed that day. The body type is luxury, and the cars are made in South Africa.

  • C-Class Saloon Mild Hybrid C180 AMG Line: petrol-electric, 168bhp, 1,496cc, S$280,888
  • C-Class Saloon Mild Hybrid C180 Avantgarde: petrol-electric, 168bhp, 1,496cc, S$280,888
  • C-Class Saloon Plug-in Hybrid C63 AMG S E Performance: petrol-electric, 671bhp, 1,991cc, S$724,888

All prices are as listed on 10 October 2026. They are not today's prices.

What the power figures show

The two C180 versions carry the same figures on every line. Only the trim name differs.

The C63 AMG S E Performance has a larger engine, at 1,991cc against 1,496cc. Its power is 671bhp, against 168bhp for the C180s. It is also the only plug-in hybrid on the list. The C180s are listed as mild hybrids.

The list has no acceleration, top speed, torque or fuel figures. This page gives none.

The version on the insurance price page

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class price page prices the C180 Sedan AVG (R17) LED, a 1,497cc car. No bhp figure is listed for this version, so it cannot be set against the 168bhp above.

The price page's COE section says this about the car. With a 1,497cc engine, it needs a Category A COE if its power is 97kW (130bhp) or less. It needs a Category B COE if its power is more.

The COE section gives these premiums for the November 2026, 1st round:

  • Category A: S$139,001
  • Category B: S$132,334

The quote form lists many other C-Class versions, with engines from 1,497cc up to 3,498cc. The price page prices only one of them. For the rest, ask for a quote. See the COE page for the latest results.

Road tax by engine size

LTA's formula gives S$682.50 a year for a 1,497cc engine. That figure is before any age surcharge. LTA's page was checked on 19 October 2026.

The list gives no road tax figure for a 1,496cc or a 1,991cc engine. It gives none for the larger engines on the quote form either. So this page cannot say what the extra power of the C63 costs in road tax. LTA's OneMotoring site has the formula, and the road tax guide covers the basics.

Cars over 10 years old pay a surcharge on top of the yearly figure:

  • Over 10 years: +10%
  • Over 11 years: +20%
  • Over 12 years: +30%
  • Over 13 years: +40%
  • Over 14 years: +50%

Rivals on the price page

The price page sets the C-Class against six cars. It uses the same driver and car age, and each car at the version most insurers quote. Power figures for these rivals are not listed, so the comparison is on engine size and lowest insurance price.

Car Engine Lowest price

In plain lines:

The C180 on the price page has a lowest price of S$749.93 (as at 20 Oct 2026). That is 5% more than the rivals' average lowest price of S$715.05. Four of the six rivals are lower.

How the insurance price moves

The price page's example driver is 40 years old, married, with an office job, 10 years of driving and a 50% no-claim discount. The car is 3 years old, on comprehensive cover with repairs at an authorised workshop.

For this driver, 15 insurers price the car online. Their premiums run from S$749.93 to S$2,124.97 a year, GST included. These are example prices for that driver, not what any reader will pay. Four more insurers show no price for this driver.

The lowest price today changes as one detail changes:

  • No NCD (0%): S$1,316.15, which is S$566.22 more
  • 20% NCD: S$1,052.92, which is S$302.99 more
  • Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,277.26, which is S$527.33 more
  • Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving, 50% NCD: S$786.83, which is S$36.90 more
  • A new car, registered this year: S$728.31, which is S$21.62 less
  • A car 8 years old: S$713.61, which is S$36.32 less

The driver's own record moves the price more than the car's age does. The no-NCD case adds the most of the changes above. Read more on the no-claim discount.

The page also shows the excess for each plan. The lowest premium carries an excess of S$2,500. Other plans on the page list excesses from S$0 to S$5,000. A lower premium can come with a higher excess, so check both. The excess guide explains the term.

What the price page does not show

The price page has no premium for the 1,991cc, 671bhp C63. It prices one 1,497cc version only. How the premium changes with more power is not on the page. The same applies to a 1,496cc C180 against the 1,497cc one.

To see a price for another version, use the quote form with that version selected. Compare the excess and the workshop choice, as well as the premium.
