Air suspension and the 19" rim might look and feel good for the short term. But having driven one for 3 years+, there can be some long-term negative effects in terms of maintenance.

First of all, the 19" rim is very low profile, meaning it is more prone to puncturing or bulging when going over even small potholes or objects on the road.
& changing the tyres for this rim isn't cheap at all. About RM 1k per tyre. Some more when 1 side tyre spoil, you gotta change both some more to maintain good alignment and ride feel etc.
Also, do note that front set tyre and rear set tyres are different so can't switch anytime like other cars.
But of course there's no denying that the 19" rim is a looker!

Another thing is the maintenance of the air suspension is gonna cost you quite a lot especially after it's warranty period.
I heard it's about RM 10k per tyre if you gotta change it.
Ride comfort though I think it may better, but I can't really feel the difference personally. I think the suspension system can increase height, decrease height all those are just too complicated and too prone to failing.
Rather have something less complicated but more reliable and cost efficient in repairing too.


These are my experience with owning a C350e for the last few years so I'm just sharing with you.
Few more things to consider that the salesman may not share with you before you decide on which model to go with.

Either way, looking forward to welcome you as a C class owner!

I'm one of the unlucky ones that have gone thru 6-7 tyres within 40K KM all because of potholes and random things on the road causing my tyre to completely puncture. Can't even refill the holes like normal tyres. Once punctures confirm bulging making the tyre useless.

With my experience so far RFT seems very unreliable thinking if I should change to normal tyres next time and have a run with it. But high risk because our car doesnt have any spare tyres

It's manual. Just gotta use more strength to adjust it compared to other cars. At first I thought got button also since can barely adjust it lol

Nah no such thing. Just use a normal one will do. I'm currently using 70mai brand not bad
