The Mercedes-Benz C 300 was a variant of the W204 C-Class Sedan that debuted for the 2008 model year. The C 300 was offered in sedan, coupe, and station wagon body styles, although the station wagon was not sold in North America. These cars were also available in all wheel drive (4Matic) known as the W204 C300 4MATIC, and were powered by Mercedes' M272 KE30 engine. This 3.0L V6 engine generated 228hp, which sent power to the wheels via manual and automatic transmission options. Production of the W204 C300 lasted until 2014, although the model series would continue life in the next generation W205 C-Class as the W205 Mercedes-Benz C300.
