By David Bonnici, 25 Jan 2019 Car NewsThe difference between the two is under the bonnet, with the C300 powered by a 190kW/370Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that has considerably more punch than the C200's 1.5-litre petrol with 'EQ' mild-hybrid technology that produces 135kW/280Nm.
Mercedes-Benz will use the new 130 hp 1.6 dCi Renault-Nissan Alliance's new generation A and B-Class and the Stuttgart manufacturer will offer to exchange the 2.0-liter gasoline engine and the new V6 and V8 range.
What is the fastest 2020 Mercedes-Benz vehicle?
- Sedans: E-Class at 3.3 seconds.
- Coupes: GT at 3.1 seconds.
- Cabriolets: S-Class at 3.4 seconds.
- Roadsters: GT at 3.5 seconds.
- SUVs: GLC (Coupe) at 3.6 seconds.
With that said, 99 per cent of C200 owners couldn't care less about cornering prowess, so it won't be an issue. More importantly, in and around town the ride is excellent. We've found that past C-Classes with bigger wheels can sometimes crash over bumps and feel uneasy with mid-corner imperfections.
The C300 is the least-potent C-Class, but it still offers 255 horsepower from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. We'd probably skip the AMG sports suspension that our tester had, but even in its most aggressive guise, the C300 is a comfortable highway cruiser.
Maintenance and repairs can be costly out of warrantyAnother reason that used Mercedes-Benz models are so cheap on the used market is due to their high cost of maintenance. Whether or not you think that it's a hefty price to pay, the cost can add up when you factor in fuel costs and insurance.
Get an idea of maintenance costs if you're thinking about a new Mercedes C300. Drivers pay about $908 per year to maintain and repair their Mercedes vehicles according to RepairPal.

Buying a used Merc, if it is still covered by a warranty, is already a risky proposition, as not everything that can go wrong on the car would be covered. Buying a Mercedes, with the warranty expired is even riskier, as the costs of its maintenance and repair would be fully out-of-pocket by its owner.
The C-Class came in at 86th on the ReliabilityIndex 100 most reliable car list for 2019 with a score of 71, which is almost 50% lower than the score earned by the A-Class range. Though it appears to be a more reliable car, the cost of repairs is still relatively high in comparison with other manufacturers.
One of the most intriguing parts of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC Coupe, is its ability to remind you why coupes are so cool. Sure, it's low and sleek, like a good coupe should be, but it's very capable on snow and ice – which is a serious “plus.”
