Any UK C300 Hybrid Owners?

Just wondered if anyone in the UK had actually took delivery of a C300 Hybrid yet? Got one on order but was unable to test drive one (test drove a C250) due to a lack of demo vehicles.

If so, would be interested to hear any initial thoughts on the car. Thanks

Cool what spec did you go for?

I've apparently got a firm delivery date of 2nd March but I won't hold my breath from what I've been hearing.

Did you manage to get a test drive in one prior to ordering?

Hi, I've ordered it in Obsidian black, with AMG line and Premium plus, Privacy glass, HUD, 360 camera, Intelligent lights, Driving assistance and airmatic.


I've requested the Night Package but that doesn't seem to be available at the moment.


I had a 24 hr test drive on a C250 as well, without airmatic, was quite impressed with the handling and performance so hopefully the hybrid will be better.


I'm just a bit tired of my fuel guzzling 335 so time for a change

Is there anything you didn't add lol? Sounds like a great spec. I originally ordered an Obsidian Black Premium Plus but jut changed it to White after seeing a few on the road.

From what I've read the performance is better than the 250 but I find that difficult to believe when it has 30hp more and an extra 200kg in weight. Is it a 335d you currently have or petrol? Either way I imagine you will notice the difference in power!

Although if I get the night package it may look like this

Even coming from a 335 petrol manual convertible I was still pretty impressed, it may have less power but I didn't notice a huge difference Your right hopefully the addn 30 HP from the electric motor gives it a bit extra zing. But I'm mostly buying for the toys and the fuel economy. My boy racer days are over

Nice do you know if yours is coming from SA or Germany? My understanding was the UK won't be offered the Night Package but even so should be quite easy to replicate if not (minus the alloys).
Roll on next year!
