Customers can choose from three trim levels and all will come with an optional AMG Line package.
It was just over three months ago that Mercedes revealed the C-Class (W206). Now we have all details about the US-spec sedan. The BMW 3 Series rival will arrive at dealers in 2022 in C300 and C300 4Matic versions with a turbocharged 2.0 liter engine. The four-pot has 255 horsepower and 295 pounds-feet torque. A 48-volt mild hybrid setup gives it a temporary boost of 20 HP and 148 lbft.
Mercedes will be redefining the trim structure of the C-Class luxury sedan by offering it in Premium, Exclusive and Pinnacle flavors. The C-Class comes with a 12.3-inch digital driver’s screen and an 11.9-inch touchscreen, borrowed from the S-Class. Mercedes will offer a smaller 9.5-inch infotainment system in Europe, while the US-spec car has the larger screen.
Even the entry-level C-Class Premium comes with a sunroof, while the Pinnacle and Exclusive models come with a panoramic sunroof at an additional charge. An LED headlight and taillight are standard on all C-Class Premium models. The optional Digital Light with adaptive curve illumination is available on all three trims.
The base C-Class comes with heated front seats. This can be upgraded to include ventilation. The Premium, Exclusive, or Pinnacle all have the AMG Line With Night Package. This package includes a more aggressive body kit, AMG-branded wheels, and a diamond grille with the chrome-plated three-pointed star. The optional package includes a flat-bottomed steering column, AMG floor mats and MBTex material (vinyl), for the dashboard.
Upgrade to the top-of-the-line version and you’ll get high-tech features like a head-up display or augmented reality for your navigation system. If you’re willing to spend more, you can check the boxes in the options list. You’ll find additional USB ports, a Driver Assistance package, and even a dashcam.
Unfortunately, the wagon is not coming to the United States. Europe will get the long-roof version, as not all Old Continent customers have flocked towards SUVs and crossovers. To complement the larger E-Class-based model, we have here in the US, the only non-AMG E Class Wagon. The more practical body design will be spawned an All-Terrain version.
