Is that C400 naming back again? I thought they ditched that in favour of the C43 branding? ..

No, both are still there: a C400 4Matic (245 kW) and a C43 4Matic (270 kW). C400 was never ditched.

^ Yes, MB may be responding to the demand, and just confirmed both the C 400 4MATIC and C 43 4MATIC will also be produced in East London, South Africa starting in September.

The C-class has finally got the 9G-tronic gearbox

The C-Class has had the 9G-TRONIC gearbox on some models since 2015.

The Australian market is finally replacing all C 250 sedans and estate with the C 300, and now matched with the 9 G gearbox.

That's quite a big performance upgrade. Any price increase?

$1000 I think, and MB Australia is bringing in the exclusive line option for the C class too.

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has received some minor updates for the new year, bringing an updated engine line-up and the availability of a new equipment package.

Headlining the changes are the introduction of the new C220d and C300 models, which replace the previous C200d and C250 respectively.

Available in both sedan and ‘estate’ wagon bodies, the new diesel and petrol bring more power and torque over their predecessors, while both are mated to the company’s nine-speed automatic transmission.

Firstly, the C220d replaces the 1.6-litre turbo-diesel from the C200d with a larger 2.1-litre oiler, developing 125kW of power and 400Nm of torque. This marks an improvement of 25kW and 80Nm over the outgoing model.


Meanwhile, the C300 aligns itself with the C-Class coupe range, bringing an uprated version of the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine used in the previous C250, now developing a healthy 180kW of power and 370Nm of torque – up 25kW and 20Nm over its predecessor.


Also new for this latest model year is the availability of the ‘Exclusive Line’ package, which has been a popular choice among customers of the larger E-Class.

It’s a no-cost option for four-cylinder C-Class sedan and estate models, excluding the C350e plug-in hybrid, and adds equipment highlights such as 18-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels, ‘Exclusive’ Artico man-made leather trim (C200, C220d) or full leather upholstery (C300, C250d).

There’s also Agility Control adaptive dampers, dashboard and beltlines trimmed in Artico man-made leather, brown ash open pore wood and silver chrome highlights, a Mercedes-Benz star on the bonnet, along with an active front grille for C200 and C220d models.

Pricing is up marginally across the range for the new model year, too.

The updated Mercedes-Benz C-Class range is available to order now.

And to remove stocks, some dealers are doing a C250 for the price of a C200 (got the email yesterday)

That was done by one of the dealers in Sydney a few weeks ago as well. You can see how much margins are in these cars, when they are still making a profit even at this price.

Hello, do you know if it's important to update the software version before the end of warranty ? And how to know the current version ? Thank you so much.

Not sure if this has been posted... one of the final design proposals for the W205:

Looks like a design from Hubert Lee.

This would have been a pretty good design as well, with strong influence from the W220, especially around the top edges of the headlights and the front grill.

A good find..I actually hope the next W206 would turn out something like this in terms of the continous character line and large sidewall as I think the current discontinuing line on the W205 isn't exactly at it's best on a small car like the C..

No way will the W206 have a character line, not with Wagener's sensual purity design ethos.

Actually you may be right there

Are you sure that is W205 ? It looks like the E-Class W212 facelift

BB W205 on the number plate (W205). But yes theres a good bit of E influence there

I saw a number of clay design proposals for the W205 when I visited the Mercedes Museum back in October 2014. I like the stylistic throw back to the W220 that this one has, but I think they certainly selected the right proposal to refine for production.

W205 C class tire pressure.
Gentlemen, any idea to get the right tire pressure for the 2017 C class? I have Continental RF 18 in tires. MB suggest 39 psi for the front and 41 psi for the rear which I think way too high. I recently measure all 4 tires and they are about 33 psi. I put 35 psi on all 4 tires. Is it reasonable? Your inputs please.
