2019 Mercedes-Benz C Class Review, Ratings, Specs, Prices, And Photos

Choice can get confusing with the 2019 Mercedes C-Class. Engines, drivelines, suspensions, it鈥檚 all up for grabs. Let us reassure you: any way you reach out of the C-Class bag, you鈥檒l draw out winning ride and handling. Just prepare to be flattened if it鈥檚 the AMG card you draw. We base our ratings on the most common versions of wide-ranging car lines such as the 2019 C-Class, so here it鈥檚 a 7, based on the C300 sedan, coupe, and convertible. Feel free to add a couple of points for either the C43 or C63. Mercedes says it鈥檚 replaced as much as 50 percent of the C-Class in the 2019 model year. A lot of it鈥檚 invisible, but one of the more important changes is a new base engine. The 2.0-liter turbo-4 mirrors last year鈥檚 displacement, but with a more effective twin-scroll turbocharger, the new inline-4 develops 14 more horsepower, for a total of 241 hp. Torque stays at 273 pound-feet, and acceleration should remain the same at about 6.0 seconds to 60 mph.

Grunty and a little forward in its noise, the turbo-4 spools up to hit peak torque at low engine speeds in a way that鈥檚 completely familiar from last year鈥檚 model. It鈥檚 a lot to ask for the turbo-4 to clip off passes at 120 mph on the Autobahn, but ask we did-and it delivered. Top speed, we found out, arrives at 130 mph. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available. All C300s sport a 9-speed automatic with a knack for making the most of the turbo-4鈥檚 output. Paddle-shifted in sport mode or left to its own patterns in normal, the C300 has plenty of low-end boost and instant-on acceleration. It lacks the crackly AMG exhaust note and the high-revving frenzy, but pulls with a decent head of luxury-car steam. We鈥檒l have to wait for EPA official ratings to determine if the promised fuel-economy gains materialize. Performance gains announce themselves on the uprated C43 AMG. Its replumbed twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine has stronger forced induction, for a total of 385 hp, up from 362 hp; torque stands still at 384 lb-ft.

With typical V-6 grotty undertones and a lovely froth of AMG exhaust sounds up top, the C43 drops 0-60 mph times of about 4.5 seconds, but still stops at the 130-mph limit. The C43 makes a convincing back-road weapon, with willing acceleration in nearly every one of its nine forward gears. It offsets its V-6 engine noise with the AMG whuffle, and splits its copious power to the rear with a 33/67 torque bias, then damps it across the rear wheels with electronic torque vectoring. Any more, and you鈥檙e asking for the C63 AMG, due for a retune and a later model-year arrival (stay tuned for those impressions). In 469-hp or better yet, 503- C63 S trim, it鈥檚 a snarling, slightly bonkers offshoot of the C-Class that smokes tires like Jimmy Dean does sausages. The latest C-Class has nothing to fear from great-handling cars like the BMW 3-Series and Cadillac ATS.

In peak form the AMG C-Class drives with brio and confidence that Mercedes has only channeled best in this latest generation of sedans. Every C-Class has electric power steering. Even the C300 has quick programming and a precise feel that delivers real road feedback, whether the car鈥檚 driver-selectable modes default to comfort, or are tweaked into either of its sport modes. Base cars come with steel coils and standard shocks, but the C-Class can be upfitted with adaptive dampers and air springs. It鈥檚 the ideal setup, one that gives the C300 a comfortable and smooth ride, and all but filters off body lean. The C300 can stay flat through very tight corners, even while it soaks up dints and dings or otherwise blemish-free roads. In generations past, the C-Class has let the base 3er outpoint it in road manners; this one gives up no ground. AMG-fitted cars inhabit an entirely different world. The C43 AMG skips the air springs, mandates the adaptive shocks, and tells the all-wheel-drive system to send 33 percent of its power always to the front, 67 percent to the rear. If you think it鈥檚 formulatic, tap the start button and send the C43 on a lane-and-a-half-wide mission to sniff out the fastest route. In the 2018 model year Mercedes added a C350e plug-in hybrid to the C-Class family. It placed a a 60-kilowatt (80-horsepower) electric motor between the former 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine and an older 7-speed automatic transmission. Net power reached 275 hp.

Plus one more thing, I know Glistering Grey is a good color and I saw a brand new Wagon R yesterday of same color but my friend white color always look awesome as it is an evergreen color. All new colors come and go according to the trends but white and black colors always remain there. Better to grab that offer. If I were you, I would have done that. I really wish everyone could be as optimistic as Jeff. If this is your passion and you are a hard worker what is not to be hopeful about. Actually depending on what state you live in, bond fees vary. 5,000. Also depending on what state you live in there are guidelines and regulations with MVED (motor vehicle enforcement division). And those regulations are acquiring a business lot with at least 3 parking spaces for sale, and a 6X6' sign for business fees.
