The 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan offers a blend of luxury and performance, with two primary models sharing the same engine but differing in key aspects. Both the standard C300 and the C300 4Matic, equipped with all-wheel drive, present variations in exterior styling, interior trim, suspension tuning, front seat design, and transmission as standard.
Both 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan models are equipped with 17-inch wheels, although with distinct designs for each. Standard features include a sunroof, automatic headlights, cruise control, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Inside, you’ll find a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, eight-way power front seats, and durable vinyl upholstery. Technology features for the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan include Bluetooth connectivity and an eight-speaker stereo system with a CD player, auxiliary audio jack, and a pop-up 5-inch display screen.
For enhanced features, the Premium I package available for the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan adds auto-dimming mirrors, a 10-way power driver seat with power lumbar support and memory functions, and a power-adjustable steering wheel. Convenience is further enhanced with automatic wipers, heated front seats, satellite radio, a power rear sunshade, and a practical split-folding rear seat. The lighting package for the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan elevates visibility and style with active xenon headlights including washers, LED running lights (standard on the Sport version), and LED taillights.
The C350 Sport essentially mirrors a C300 Sport equipped with the Premium I package, but distinguishes itself with a more powerful V6 engine and black bird’s-eye maple wood trim. At the top of the performance spectrum, the C63 AMG shares similar equipment levels but significantly boosts performance. The C63 AMG features a robust V8 engine, a firmer suspension for sportier handling, larger brakes for enhanced stopping power, 18-inch wheels, and AMG-specific interior and exterior styling cues. Inside, the C63 AMG boasts leather AMG sport seats and aluminum paddle shifters for a more engaging driving experience.
Upgrading to the Multimedia package in the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan introduces the COMAND electronics interface, a hard-drive-based navigation system that includes real-time traffic updates, a six-CD changer, an iPod interface, 6GB of digital music storage, and a larger pop-up display screen. For the C63 AMG, the AMG Seating package offers front memory seats, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and upgraded leather upholstery. Furthermore, the AMG Development package for the C63 model pushes performance boundaries with an additional 30 horsepower, upgraded brakes, a limited-slip differential, a track-calibrated suspension, an increased top speed, and a leather/faux suede steering wheel.
A notable addition for the 2011 model year (excluding the C63 AMG) is a new prepaid maintenance option covering standard maintenance for 3 years or 30,000 miles. Stand-alone options for the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan include larger 18-inch wheels, a panorama sunroof (not available on the C63), a rearview camera (requiring the Multimedia package), luxurious leather upholstery, heated front seats, keyless ignition/entry, satellite radio, an iPod interface, and a premium Harman Kardon surround-sound stereo system.
