The Mercedes-Benz C-Class was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in February 2022. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants, except the AMG C 63 S E Performance.

Dual frontal, side head-protecting, and side chest-protecting (first and second row) airbags, as well as a driver knee airbag, are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car, Vulnerable Road User, Junction Assist and Backover) as well as a lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keeping (ELK), and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS) are standard on all variants.
