Specs and Features in the 2019 C 300
The C 300 has a lot to offer, but we’ll start with the performance. Under the hood sits a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with a commanding 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. While it’s the same horsepower as the Stinger, there is more torque to go along with the 9-speed automatic transmission, which will give you more seamless gear changes than the 8-speed automatic in the Stinger. The C300 also edges out the Stinger in fuel efficiency** as well. The interior comforts and conveniences in the C 300 are a little better as well, with stylish touches from the genuine wood trim and a newly-available 64-color ambient lighting system. If you’ve had a stressful day, you might be especially fond of the available front power lumbar with massage feature too. It’s a free massage waiting for you in the front seat that can be used whenever you want, whether you’re on your way home from work or you just want to hide out in the garage away from other people and find your happy place.
The C 300 will continue to be a popular luxury sedan option in 2019, comparing favorably against other similar models like the Stinger. Learn more by contacting the team at Mercedes-Benz of Gilbert!
