Mercedes-Benz 2007- 2009 C-Class: 4th Generation

The W204 Series

Mercedes-Benz released the latest C-Class in January 2007. The most recent Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers the four-door sedan or the five-door estate. Unlike any of its predecessors, the new C-Class has four trim models: AMG, Avantgarde, Classic, and Elegance.
The Mercedes-Benz W204 Series is manufactured in four-door saloon and five-door estate body styles. The engine options for the latest C-Class are 1.8, 2.2, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 or 6.2 liter with 16, 24 or 32 Volts and 134 to 451 hp. This Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a bit larger than any of its predecessors and is offered with gasoline or diesel engines and a choice of rear and all-wheel drive.  

The transmission options are six-speed manual and five or seven-speed automatic. Mercedes-Benz  cylinder options are S4, V6, V8 and the Inline-4. The newest C-Class models have an extended wheel base and tracks and a stronger body shell. There is a different design for the side mirrors and an updated instrument panel, as well as many innovative standard options. The Mercedes-Benz Kompressor was manufactured for the first time in this line, but there are plans to replace this model's engines with turbo engines.

The C63 C-Class car marks the first AMG version of Mercedes-Benz cars that were built with AMG specifications from the ground-up instead of being AMG "fine-tuned" after the vehicles were assembled.

The latest C-Class models received many accolades, including the Executive Car of the Year in the 2007 Top Gear Awards deemed by Top Gear Magazine and The Car of the Year by Australia's Wheels Magazine in 2007.

The Mercedes-Benz W204 Series is assembled in Brazil, Egypt, South Africa, and the two plants in Germany.
