Overall, the C-class is about 2.5 inches longer than the outgoing model, and its wheelbase has been stretched by an inch. The new model sports a steering wheel that looks like that of the S-class, and Mercedes offers a generous list of standard luxury features such as heated front seats with memory settings, a sunroof, open-pore wood trim, and aluminum accents. All models come with a digital gauge display, touch-sensitive controls, and a host of amenities. The C-class comes with a high-tech cabin that mirrors that of the larger S-class flagship.
For more information about the C-class's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. In our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, the all-wheel-drive C300 4Matic beat its highway rating with a 35-mpg result. The EPA estimates that rear-wheel-drive examples of the C-class should deliver up to 25 mpg city and 36 mpg highway adding all-wheel drive drops those figures by 2 mpg each, to 24 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. 2024 Mercedes CLE Replaces C- and E-Class Coupes.Tested: 2022 Mercedes C300 Has Traditional Appeal.Braking performance was good the C300 stopped from 70 mph in just 154 feet, but we'd appreciate a firmer pedal feel. Handling is nimble, as expected from a compact sports sedan, but we were disappointed with the lack of steering feel and the flinty ride quality. In our testing, the all-wheel-drive C300 4Matic hit 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, beating the previous-generation C-class by 0.1 second. All-wheel drive remains an option, with rear-wheel drive being the standard setup a nine-speed automatic is the only gearbox offered. The turbo four is enhanced by a 48-volt hybrid system that can temporarily provide up to 20 extra horsepower. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceĪll C-class models are powered by a 255-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and wear the C300 name badge on their shapely trunk lid. Adding 4Matic all-wheel drive costs $2000 extra. There are still plenty of a la carte options, too, including a sporty-looking AMG Line package, a panoramic sunroof, and navigation. We think the Exclusive trim is the best value. The C300 is offered in three trim levels-Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle-that bundle popular options together.
