I would go with C250 as it has wood trim console instead of carbon fibre. Dashboard stitching, Bigger LCD screen which is on the C250 and not on the C350e.
And like all the bros says, the battery is around 4 passengers weight which is very heavy and fuel consumption when you run out of battery power. And to replace the battery cost around rm 40k
no offense bro but seems like you and some of forumers here are getting the idea of how PHEV works wrongly. I have a c350e as a daily drive.
1) Yes the battery is heavy but this battery provide huge load of torque. Total output engine plus battery is 600nm bro. 5.9sec vs 6.5sec, tell me which car requires less push? The battery power overcome the weight of it bro.
2) Unlike the 330e, c350e's battery doesn't run out until 0%. The engine will automatically turn on to charge the battery when battery falls below 10%. Thus keeping it above 10%. Therefore, you will always have the power on demand. 330e on the other hand can use up their battery until 0% then its a deadweight.
3) Only time where the whole system allows the battery to fall below 10% is when you run out of petrol. This is risky so I usually pump on the 1st blink.
4) Fuel consumption is depending on how often you charge the car and the distance you drive daily. There is few members hitting 1,000km per tank by charging once or twice a day. Bear in mind that c350e fuel tank is only 50L compared to non hybrid siblings at 656L if im not wrong.
