Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Canada’s most popular Mercedes comes in sedan, coupe, cabriolet and the recently launched wagon configurations. Under the hood, there’s a four-cylinder engine for the C 300, a V6 for the AMG C 43 and a V8 for the AMG C 63 and C 63 S—the latter with 503 horsepower. These last two versions boast a seven-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive, while the other variants get a new nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.
