2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Overview
Introduction
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class remains the most accessible of all its models sold in the United States. Completely redesigned for 2008, the model range continues to deliver the expected levels of smart engineering, design and safety features within the price range of loaded mass-market, midsize sedans.
The C300 is powered by a 3.0-liter, 228-hp V6 while a more powerful 3.5-liter, 268-hp V6 powers the C350. Both C300 models (C300 and C300 4Matic) can be ordered in either of two trims; Sport or Luxury. The C300 Sport comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, a seven-speed automatic is optional (standard on all other C300 models and C350). All C-Class models come with side-curtain and side-impact airbags as well as stability control and 4-wheel antilock disc brakes. The C350 is offered in Sport trim only. Buyers looking for more will have to wait until the AMG-tuned, 6.2 liter V8 powered C63 arrives.
The C-Class has been redesigned for 2008.
