Mercedes C-Class Engines and Transmissions

Each Mercedes C-Class engine pairs with a powertrain tuned for a different priority. The C230 2.5 AT estate keeps things smooth with an automatic and rear-wheel drive, while the C200CDI 2.1 MT diesel with a manual favours economy on long runs. The C300 3.0 AT adds all-wheel drive for surer traction.

Mercedes C-Class Trims and Equipment

Mercedes C-Class trim levels sit on top of a technical version rather than replacing it. The C180 1.8 MT estate, for instance, appears as the C180 BlueEfficiency Special Series and as the same car with Comand added, so the mechanicals stay identical while cabin technology and comfort equipment differ.
