Used 2019 Mercedes Benz C 300 Luxury

Opt for nearly any of today's entry-luxury vehicles and you're in for a four-cylinder engine. Sure, most players in this space offer a more powerful six-cylinder option, but BMW's 3-series, Audi's A4, and Mercedes-Benz's C-class all come standard with a turbocharged inline-four. Most of these "base" powerplants deliver surprisingly hot performance, although that wasn't quite the case with the Benz—at least it wasn't until this year. For 2019, Mercedes has replaced its laggard-for-the-class engine in the entry-level C300 sedan, convertible, and coupe with an all-new 2.0-liter turbo four. Horsepower is up 14 ponies, to 255, while peak torque remains at a stout 273 lb-ft. This change, along with a swap from a seven-speed automatic transmission to Benz's latest nine-speed unit, which happened for the 2018 model year, are the primary contributors to the latest C300's improved performance. In this vehicle class, such base-model four-cylinder engines exist at least partly to provide buyers (and automakers seeking to please regulators) a more fuel-efficient option, and the new engine has massively upped the C300 coupe's fuel-economy game. If you want maximum efficiency in your compact Mercedes, skip the available 4Matic all-wheel-drive system. The only 2017 C300 coupe we tested came with that feature, and between it and the older engine, that model scored a so-so 29 mpg on our highway test loop. A rear-drive 2017 C300 convertible returned 32 mpg in the same test, and an all-wheel-drive 2019 C300 sedan with the new engine that we tested separately notched a decent 33-mpg score.
