The Mercedes-Benz C350 was a variant of the W204 C-Class Sedan that debuted for the 2008 model year. The C 350 was offered in sedan, coupe, and station wagon body styles, although the station wagon was not sold in North America. These cars were available in both rear wheel drive and all wheel drive (4Matic) configurations, and were initialy powered by Mercedes' M272 KE35 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY engine. This 3.5L V6 engine generated 268hp. In 2011 this engine was updated and replaced for the M 276 DE 35 BlueEFFICIENCY that produced 288hp and in 2012 this variant kept the same engine but now, it produced 302hp. All this engines sent power to the rear wheels via manual and automatic transmission options. Production of the W204 C350 lasted until 2015 although the model series would continue life in the next generation W205 C-Class.
