Technology: First, the omissions: no CarPlay or Apple Auto, and SiriusXM requires $6,400 of option packages (though a Mercedes-Benz Canada rep said they will do satellite as a stand-alone option for those who want it). Our C300 has a pearl white exterior with black leather interior and is powered by a 3.0L V6 engine which produces 228 horsepower and 221 ft-lbs of torque and has a seven-speed automatic transmission with the option of tiptronic. Here are total complaints by model year for the Mercedes-Benz C300. Our test model rang in at $63,675 after options and delivery. The following packages and individual options apply to the C 300 sedan. Said beauty can be individually tailored with options that include a Sport package, active LED headlamps, and/or various 18- or 19-inch wheel designs (17s are standard). Almost all buyers are expected to opt for at least the Premium package, which adds a rear-view camera, LED headlamps, Comand Online Navigation and 13-speaker Burmester sound system.
Moreover, this model has the Premium Package which adds auto-dimming mirrors, a 10-way power driver seat, power driver lumbar support, driver memory functions, automatic wipers, heated front seats and split-folding rear seat. The C300’s seven-speed automatic transmission delivers well-timed gear changes, with noticeable changes in shift points as you toggle the Dynamic Select switch. A 2.0 litre turbo inline-4 paired with a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed transmission means quick acceleration and fantastic fuel economy can be used in the same sentence. Using 16-valve variable timing, a 3-phase cooling team, rapid-multi-spark technology, and high-pressure Direct Injection, the turbo engine maximizes both power and fuel conservation. This model of the C300 comes with the 18-inch wheels, a sunroof, automatic headlights, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, a power adjustable steering wheel with volume and Bluetooth controls, auxiliary audio jack and a nice display screen. Whether you want in-car Wi-Fi, a power rear sunshade, a hands-free trunk, or the ability to check on your car via a phone with the Mercedes me service, there are plenty of ways to upgrade the 2019 Mercedes C-Class. The C-Class sedan, coupe and convertible are available in five flavors. The coupe does share its enlarged exterior with the new-in-2015 sedan, yet paradoxically its interior is smaller than that of its predecessor.
Even the designo interior package didn't seem, for $3,800, too much of an indulgence; I'd rather have its nicely contrasted quilted leather than the AMG Line visual add-ons. Cargo: The restyle may have shrunk trunk volume to 400 from 450 litres (based on European measurements) but that’s still decent for the category. Under the hood the base engine is still a four-cylinder turbo, but a new 241-hp 2.0-litre unit displaces the previous 201-hp 1.8-litre. Surprisingly, the automatic transmission is still Mercedes-Benz's tried-and-true seven-speed, not the new corporate nine-speed (the C43 will have the nine-speed). Performance: Actually, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder C300 is no slug (the factory claims 0-100 in 6 seconds) but it should be even better when it gets the nine-speed autobox, which could provide an 18-per cent “quicker” first gear while cutting cruise rpm by the same amount. 241 horsepower, and 273 lb-ft of torque brings the C300 Coupe from a dead stop to 100km/h in just 6.0 seconds.
The C300 will not set any records for being a speed demon on the freeway; however, it can tackle long road trips with ease. Lastly, this C300 was for our father and to celebrate his 60th birthday and he thoroughly enjoys driving this vehicle any day of the week without having to worry about the weather or road conditions. ’s highest honor.

We theorized that the "AMG Lite" C450 will be the sweet spot between the bad-boy C63 AMG V-8 (for the hardcore speed-freak minority), and the base four-cylinder C300 (for those who just want a pretty coupe with a Mercedes badge). Because of the engine and transmission pairing the C300 consumes just 7.8L/100 km of fuel on the highway and 10.5L/100 km in the city.
The Mercedes-Benz C300 has an estimated fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon driving in the city and an average of 34 mph on the highway. For now, the current C-Class makes 24 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. The C-Class is available with an attractive array of wood and aluminum finishes, and a relatively clutter-free layout that manages to still feel elegant. I enjoy how this car is silky smooth, from stand still to when it is revving high. So, in a world gone mad for crossovers, who is going to buy a car like this? Goczan has an interesting take on that: people who want to drive a vehicle that most other people think doesn't exist any more. However, they do claim that it is fun to drive, is sharper and more dynamic than the C300 and has a sportier ride. Opting for the C300 coupe means that 18-inch wheels and the panoramic sunroof come as standard equipment, but the rearview camera becomes an optional extra. Get a C300 now and you can be the first kid on the block with the elegant new Mercedes coupe.
