2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is the automaker's entry-level luxury sedan and resides in the model lineup below the midsize E-Class. The C-Class comes powered by either a 3.0-liter V6 engine that can run on gasoline or E85 ethanol, or a stronger 3.5-liter V6. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard on all versions but the base model, where a six-speed manual gearbox is included. The C300 is offered in either Luxury or Sport models; the latter comes with sporty styling cues, a sport suspension for more tenacious handling, and a unique interior treatment. The C350 is offered only as a Sport model. A sophisticated 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system is optional on either C300 version. The car comes well equipped and includes plenty of chassis-control systems and safety features. A high-performance AMG version will be added to the line later in 2008.
