It’s about time. Mercedes-Benz has finally done an overdue redesign on its ever-popular C-Class. This week in Grasso's Garage: the C300 4Matic.
Seeing the multiple improvements on the 2022 C300, all we can think to say is, What took you so long? As with other Mercedes-Benz vehicles we have tested recently, we notice a 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo engine paired with a mild-hybrid operation. Its 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque are matched with a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission. Eco start/stop and 4Matic all-wheel drive was standard.
Changing the configuration of the interior is a 11.9-inch center-stack touchscreen infotainment system with MBUX, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Navigation and a Burmester 3D Surround Sound System. Augmented video, heads-up display, interior mood lighting, driver-assist safety features and parking assist were just some of the features also available that we enjoyed on our week-long test.
