The Mercedes C Class was introduced for the 1994 model year. Available as both a wagon and sedan, the C Class slotted right in the lineup, taking over for the 190 Class. The C Class also holds the distinction of at one time being the smallest car Mercedes offered (until the debut of the A-Class in 1997). At its launch, the C Class was outfitted with either a 2.2L four-cylinder engine or a 2.8L V6. The four-cylinder provided approximately 150 horsepower while the V8 generated 194 hp. Both configurations were mated to either a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional five-speed automatic. The US did not offer a wagon version of the Mercedes C Class, leaving only the sedan. As for the model's dimensions, the Mercedes C Class measured in with a wheelbase of 105.1 inches, a width of 67.7 inches, a height of 56.1 inches, and an overall length of 177.4 inches.
In 1995, the C36 AMG trim became available, showing off an inline six-cylinder engine capable of 268 horsepower directed through a standard automatic transmission. Eventually, the base 2.2L four-cylinder was slightly upgraded to a 2.3 configuration before being supercharged. A redesign of Mercedes C Class parts came in 1997, which brought the C Class new front/rear bumpers, colored side-skirts, new rims, new taillights, and perhaps most importantly, the unveiling of the supercharged Kompressor models. 1998 saw the AMG get a boost, upping the 4.3L engine to a robust 302 horsepower. The second generation of the Mercedes C Class rolled off the line for 2000. Trims started off as the C240 (2.4L V6- 168 hp) and the C320 (3.2L V6) with 4Matic all-wheel drive available (2003). Both models were initially offered as sedans, but a year later the C320 wagon along with the C230 hatchback coupe were premiered, with the latter sporting a supercharged four-cylinder good for 192 horsepower. The C32 AMG arrived in 2002 with a 3.2 supercharged V6 engine that got credit for 350 horsepower, while 2005 welcomed in the C55 AMG, which saw that number rise to 362 hp.
For 2006, both the hatchback coupe and wagon variants of the Mercedes C Class were dropped from the lineup. However, this is when the Luxury and Sport trim levels made their first appearance, including the C230 Sport, the C350 Sport, the C350 Luxury, and the C280 Luxury. All Sport and Luxury trims featured Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel drive system as optional. 2008 ushered in another redesign, which saw the C Class made available in five separate trim levels using the Luxury and Sport trims as the primary options. The C300 showcased a 3.0L V6 which produced 228 horsepower and 221 pounds-per-foot of torque mated to either a seven-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual (Sport models came with the manual). The C350 churned out 268 horsepower thanks to a 3.5L V6, with a seven-speed automatic transmission as standard. Safety features, long a considerable attribute of Mercedes models, included front-side airbags, full-length side-curtain airbags, active front-head restraints, stability control, traction control, adaptive antilock brakes, brake assist, and hill-start assist.
Classy, confident, and boasting stylish parts to help it rise above the masses, the Mercedes C Class is every bit the showpiece as it is mode of transportation. Boasting VIP performance and oozing luxury, the Mercedes C Class also makes an impression thanks to its overall elegant image. It is attributes like these why it has become so talked about.

Market price: $52.56 - $56.06The styling revisions on the base Mercedes C-Class brought a more premium feel and made it look like a more expensive vehicle. According to Top Gear magazine, new C-Class is much sharper than the predecessor. Most 2012 models come with more powerful direct-injection gasoline engines, including the V6s, which are available for the first time with more fuel-efficient 7-speed automatic transmission. Models come equipped with Bluetooth audio streaming, new audio headunit along with a 5.8-inch color display, phonebook download, USB port, and album cover. COMAND with Navigation gets a 7-inch screen, display of personal photos, intermediate navigation destinations, SIRIUS weather, 3D city models, area avoidance and a larger 10GB Music Register. As for the interior, significant alterations, including the revised dash, reworked gauges, and improved interior materials, were made to change the impression of C-Class as the cheapest Mercedes-Benz.
After producing wagon, sedan and AMG models, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the first details about its latest coupe before it debuted at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The new C-Class Coupe uses the same front fascia and fenders as the C-Class sedan and receives a standard panorama sunroof. The new C-Class Coupe comes with bold AMG styling, split-folding rear-seats, front seats with integrated headrests, steering wheel shift paddles, and driver memory. The addition of 2 door coupe to the model line indicates that Mercedes C-Class is now hitting on BMWs 3-series. Though it's not the first launch of Mercedes-Benz at manufacturing a C-Coupe, the new model is a different approach with numerous improvements added to the already good platform.
Several days ago a few images of the facelifted 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG appeared on the Web. There is not much to pick up, still the photos reveal pretty much everything about the look of the next C63 AMG both inside and out.
The main details on the 2012 C63 AMG remain unwrapped so far, though its expected to get power from a twin-turbo 5.5L V8. If thats the case, power output is likely to be in the 550-hp range, which is 100-hp more than the previous engine could make. Thanks to the forced induction, the facelifted C63 AMG is going to produce extremely flat torque of total 590 pound-feet. Therefore, a sprint from 0-60mph is expected to be achieved in mid four second range with the top speed touching 186mph.
Its obvious that the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG will show vigorous performance, but we can only guesstimate until the vehicle is officially unveiled.
Along with a quite subtle facelift, the 2012 C-Class has got some significant changes on the inside with the inclusion of a new 4-cylinder base engine as well as a more powerful top-trim V6.
The new C250 is upgraded with a direct-injection 1.8L turbocharged 4-cylinder that produces solid 201-hp and 229 ft-lbs of torque. As a result, the new model has more torque and provides better fuel-efficiency with a 24-mpg combined rating. That takes the C250 right to the C300 level as now both cars reach 60-mph in 7.1 seconds.
The luxury C350, in its turn, finally gets more capacity due to a direct-injection V6 engine that makes 302-hp and 273 ft-lbs of torque.
More details on the 2012 C-Class makeover will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show with coverage starting January 10th.
