2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300

The 2020 C-Class is Mercedes-Benz's compact luxury line, offered as a sedan, coupe, and convertible with both rear- and all-wheel drive. It squares off against the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Lexus IS, with the AMG versions taking on the M3 and C63's rivals. The C-Class drives with a poised balance of comfort and agility, and the AMG variants deliver ferocious straight-line performance. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in rich materials, with supportive seats and a clean dashboard layout that emphasizes quality. The C 300 is the entry point to the C-Class lineup, sitting below the AMG-tuned C 43 and C 63 models. Its 2.0L I4 makes 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive for 26 mpg combined. The standard suspension strikes a comfortable balance, though the ride is a touch firmer than the base setup in some rivals.
