We are definiitely being overwhelmed by the C-class news that is being released, but I am sure you don’t mind, especially if it is news like the 4MATIC all wheel drive system. Shortly after the Europe-wide market launch of the C-Class, Mercedes-Benz has announced a further technical refinement in the new model series, namely 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive. This further enhanced system will be available for order and delivery in the six-cylinder C 280, C 350 and C 320 CDI models from the summer of 2007. With a total of 49 4MATIC models, Mercedes-Benz will then have the widest all-wheel-drive range among all premium brands.


The latest-generation Mercedes all-wheel-drive system improves on the previous 4MATIC with greater efficiency, a lower weight and more compact dimensions. These advantages are reflected in a more favourable fuel consumption and even better traction: the new C 280 4MATIC with its 170 kW/231 hp six-cylinder engine consumes 9.6 litres of premium petrol per 100 kilometres, and is therefore more economical than its predecessor by 0.2 litres. For the first time in the C-Class, a diesel model with all-wheel drive also becomes available now: the new C 320 CDI 4MATIC has an output of 165 kW/224 hp and consumes 7.7 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres.

  1. GEEZ,

    WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO STINGY WITH THE HP? i WAS HOPING YOU WOULT AT LEAST MEET BMWs 300HP IN THE 3-SERIES. I INTENDED TO TRADE IN MY 2006 C230 SPORT FOR THE NEW C. NOW, I HAVE A DILEMMA. I JUST MIGHT NEED TO DEFECT TO BMW. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING?

  2. You might want to try the new C-class first. Don’t just look at the HP number, but also how that Hp is used. Look at all the other factors that differentiate the cars. If you get the C350, you’ll get 272hp and if you want more, you can wait for the AMG version with about 450hp.

    But remember, take both for a test drive, and then decide because it is hard to judge based on numbers.
