Our store sits on the south I-35 frontage road at 10900 S I-35 Frontage Rd, Austin, TX 78748, where a buyer from Buda, Kyle, Dripping Springs or the 78748 corridor can test drive, trade, finance and service a C-Class.

What does the Mercedes-Benz C-Class lineup offer Austin buyers?
Mercedes-Benz of South Austin sells the C-Class new, certified pre-owned and used at 10900 S I-35 Frontage Rd, alongside the full Mercedes-Benz range. Our Google record is 4.6 stars across 830 reviews, and 89 in 100 of them are five-star (Google, 2026).

Which C-Class trim and power choice fits an Austin driver?
The C-Class comes as the C 300 sedan, the C 300 4MATIC®, the AMG® C 43 and the AMG® C 63 S E PERFORMANCE, and each suits a different drive. For a daily commute on Austin’s I-35, the C 300 sedan is the starting point at $49,650 (2026 model year). The C 300 4MATIC® starts at $51,650 and carries the same 255 hp and 295 lb-ft.
Hybrid versions are on the EPA record. The C 300 hybrid rear-wheel drive is rated 25 city, 35 highway and 29 combined miles per gallon, and the C 300 4MATIC® hybrid is rated 24, 33 and 27. The AMG® C 43 4MATIC® hybrid is rated 19, 27 and 22, and it starts at $64,150. The AMG® C 63 S E PERFORMANCE starts at $88,000. We call ourselves a Mercedes-Benz AMG® Performance Center, so buyers who want the AMG® models can compare them here.
How much does a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class cost in Austin?
The starting price for a new C-Class is the maker’s published MSRP: the C 300 sedan at $49,650, the C 300 4MATIC® at $51,650, the AMG® C 43 at $64,150 and the AMG® C 63 S E PERFORMANCE at $88,000, all for the 2026 model year. Those figures are the start of the total, not the whole of it. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (2026) puts motor vehicle sales tax at 6.25 percent of sales price, minus any trade-in allowance, so a buyer plans for the total after tax.
Should an Austin buyer lease or finance a C-Class?
We offer both financing specials and leasing specials on new vehicles, and our secure finance application is online. A lease suits a buyer who wants a lower monthly payment and a new car every few years. A loan suits a buyer who plans to keep the car well past the term. Our finance page also links to a payment calculator, so a buyer can test both monthly figures before the visit.
Can an Austin buyer get a certified pre-owned or used C-Class at Mercedes-Benz of South Austin?
Yes, we sell certified pre-owned Mercedes-Benz alongside new models.
