Find out which models of Mercedes-Benz are the most affordable.

Mercedes-Benz is a premium automaker known for producing some of the industry’s most plush rides. The three-pointed star has a wide variety of cars to compete with Audi, BMW, Lexus, and Volvo, from compact sedans and crossovers to fast roadsters and six-figure SUVs. Even the base versions of Mercedes-Benz provide a high level of elegance and performance. Read on to learn about the most affordable Mercedes-Benz models.

2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe:  Starting MSRP $47,850

This stylish two-door fools the eye into thinking it is much more costly than it really is. The base price of this little coupe is $47,850, and it comes equipped with a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine that generates 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Customers who prefer the C-Class coupe’s sexier windswept look to the sedan’s practicality will pay extra for the coupe and see a little reduction in fuel economy.

2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC:  Starting MSRP $43,850

Mercedes’ small SUV has a starting price of $43,850, making it more costly than the brand’s compact sedan but cheaper than its compact two-door coupe. The SUV has excellent stopping power, and the base four-cylinder engine produces 255 horsepower and provides brisk acceleration. The trunk should be enough for most customers’ needs, while it falls short of the offerings of some direct rivals.

2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class:  Starting MSRP $43,550

The C-Class sedan, like the coupe, offers a luxury cabin. The model starts at $43,550 and comes loaded with goodies like automated temperature control, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and remote engine start. We are also quite pleased with the model’s fuel efficiency. Our Real MPG highway test results for this vehicle were better than 40 mpg. This economy is especially noteworthy given that the car is powered by a 255-hp engine, which contributes to a lively initial acceleration.

2023 Mercedes-Benz CLA:  Starting MSRP $39,350

The CLA was designed as a low-priced entry point into the Mercedes brand, but it has since been discontinued due to its subpar interior and jarring driving experience. A new facelift has made the CLA considerably classier. The 2023 model is an exceptionally refined four-door coupe that offers a high level of comfort and convenience. However, these enhancements do not come cheap and typically result in a significant price hike. The current base price for a CLA is $39,350.

2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB:  Starting MSRP $39,800

Mercedes’ newest sport utility vehicle (SUV) is the GLB. The tiny SUV starts at $39,800 and sits just below the GLC, where it offers somewhat less power at 221 horsepower. Five USB-C connections, twin 7-inches as standard (or 10.25-inches optional), automated climate control for both zones, and wireless software updates are all included. There is a third row that may be used, but it’s really primarily for kids.

2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA:  Starting MSRP $37,500

When it comes to Mercedes-Benz SUVs, the GLA is the smallest and the most affordable, with a base price of $37,500. Even though its four-cylinder engine only produces 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, that’s more than enough power for this adorable pickup. The quick-witted handling matches the power of the engine. Upon its full makeover in 2021, the GLA would include a more powerful basic engine, an upgraded multimedia system, and increased space for both the driver and passengers.

2023 Mercedes-Benz A-Class:  Starting MSRP $33,950

Mercedes-entry-level Benz’s sedan, the A-Class, also happens to be its least expensive model. A starting price of $33,950 buys you a car with a surprisingly plush cabin. The newest entertainment system from Mercedes is the focal point of the interior, and it understands natural language to make voice instructions simple. The A-basic Class’s trim produces 188 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. It has been confirmed by Mercedes-Benz that the 2022 model year of the A-class sedan will be its last year of manufacturing for the American market.
