Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan (W205) (W205)

An aluminum-intensive body took roughly a hundred kilograms out of the C-Class, and the cabin arrived looking like an S-Class reduced in scale rather than in ambition.

From February 2014 the range covered M264 and M274 turbo fours, the M276 twin-turbo V6 of the C 43 and AMG’s 4.0-liter M177 V8, with OM651 and OM654 diesels, a diesel plug-in hybrid and the petrol C 300 e. AIRMATIC air suspension was offered on a C-Class for the first time.

Saloon and estate production ended in June 2021; the coupé and cabriolet continued to 2023 before the CLE replaced them.
