Mercedes-Benz C 300

Mercedes-Benz C 300e

There is a quiet pleasure in gliding through town in total silence, then feeling the petrol engine join in as the road opens up. The C 300 e lives between those two worlds with the poise of a car that never needs to raise its voice.

A 1,999 cc four-cylinder works with an electric motor for a combined 313 PS, sent to the rear wheels through the 9G-TRONIC automatic. Its 25.4 kWh battery allows around 100 km on electric power alone.

The bloodline starts in 1982, when the 190 (W201) made its debut at the Paris Motor Show as the first compact Mercedes. The C-Class name arrived in 1993, and the W206 generation entered production in March 2021.
