Mercedes-Benz C-Class
The C-Class recently turned 30, with the current (fifth) generation having made its debut for 2022. Like many other Mercedes-Benz models, it offers less selection than in years past. Only the sedan remains, and it’s available in three trim levels, all featuring a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and 4Matic all-wheel drive—C 300 (255 horsepower), AMG C 43 (mild hybrid, 402 horsepower) and the wicked new AMG C 63 S E Performance (plug-in hybrid, 671 total horsepower).
