Mercedes-Benz C-Class redesigned and redesigned for 2008

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has undergone an astonishing transformation in 2008. Offered in Sport and Luxury trims, the C-Class has been completely redesigned, setting the standard for entry-level luxury sedans. The new 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class adds unparalleled style, safety and engineering, with a starting price of $ 32,425 for the C300 Sport.

The C300 Sport and C300 Luxury models are equipped with a 3.0-liter, 24-valve V6 engine that produces 228 hp at 6,000 rpm. Sports versions have a standard 6-speed manual transmission, with the option of a 7-speed automatic. C300 Luxury models receive the 7-speed Touch Shift automatic transmission as standard equipment.

The top of the line C350 Sport Sedan is equipped with a 268-hp 3.5-liter V6 mated to the 7-speed automatic transmission. In terms of gas mileage, the C350 has 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 miles per gallon on the highways. The standard features of the C350 also include AM / FM radio with 100 watts and 8 total speakers; A CD player; Mp3 player; and Sirius (R) Satellite Radio System with a 6-month subscription included (not available in Alaska or Hawaii).

A new Agility Control sports suspension improves handling dynamics and driving safety. Other safety features include six airbags, antilock brakes, traction control, and ESP stability control.

With great features, choosing between the Sport or Luxury version may simply be a matter of style preference. For drivers who prefer comfort and elegance in a car, the Luxury is likely a better suit. For others wanting a little more edge, the Sport version may be more up your alley. The two versions can be distinguished by their interior trim and the look of the front grille.
