The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, excluding the high-performance AMG variants, largely shares a common foundation of standard equipment, offering a wide array of package deals and individual options to tailor the vehicle to personal preferences. At the heart of the standard lineup is the C 300 (available also as C 300 4Matic with all-wheel drive), powered by a robust turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission, ensuring a balance of performance and efficiency.
Rolling on 17-inch wheels and equipped with automatic wipers and a rearview camera for enhanced visibility, the C 300 also includes a sunroof to brighten the cabin and dual-zone automatic climate control for personalized comfort. The interior features a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and power-adjustable front seats, complete with driver-seat memory settings for convenience. Mercedes-Benz’s MB-Tex simulated leather upholstery provides a refined touch, while the 40/20/40-split folding rear seatbacks offer versatility for cargo and passenger configurations.
Technologically, the 2019 C 300 is well-equipped with the COMAND infotainment system, featuring a 7-inch central display screen operated via a console-mounted dial controller. Connectivity is seamless with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto integration, alongside dual USB ports and an HD radio-equipped sound system for entertainment.
For those looking to enhance their C 300, Mercedes-Benz provides a selection of compelling packages. The Premium package elevates convenience with an electronic trunk closer, adds safety with blind-spot monitoring, and incorporates keyless entry and push-button start along with satellite radio for expanded media options.
The Multimedia package represents a significant upgrade to the infotainment experience, featuring a larger 10.25-inch screen with integrated navigation, voice controls, and a touchpad infotainment controller for more intuitive interaction. Furthermore, the Driver Assistance package is designed to provide an extra layer of safety and convenience through forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and navigation-based speed limit assist, among other collision-preventative systems.
For a sportier aesthetic and feel without venturing into the full AMG models, the AMG Line package delivers AMG-inspired styling and performance enhancements. This includes upgraded brakes, a sport suspension, a rear spoiler, and distinctive bodywork details. Additional styling packages offer blacked-out exterior trim and a variety of wheel designs for further personalization.
Beyond packages, the C 300 offers stand-alone options such as a panoramic sunroof for an even more open cabin feel, a head-up display projecting vital driving information, heated and ventilated front seats for year-round comfort, and a digital customizable gauge cluster for a modern cockpit experience. A wireless device charger adds to the contemporary convenience, and a premium Burmester audio system is available for audiophiles seeking a superior sound experience.
While the AMG C 43 and AMG C 63 models offer increased performance and specific features, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C 300 stands as a well-rounded luxury sedan, offering a blend of standard sophistication and extensive customization options to meet diverse driver needs and preferences within the Mercedes-Benz C-Class range.
