The C-Class is the Mercedes-Benz entry luxury sedan, which was redesigned for 2008 and is offered in either Luxury or Sport versions with the AMG-inspired Sport easily identified by the 3-pointed star incorporated into the front grille. The C-Class was introduced in 1993 as a 1994 model to replace the 190 sedan. A C-Class Coupe was introduced for 2002 and continued through the 2005 model year.
The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class features a new monitoring system showing individual tire pressures, more aerodynamic outside mirrors and a steering wheel covered in premium leather. A new option is a Dynamic Handling Package for Sport models that includes active suspension, faster speed-sensitive steering and 18-inch split-spoke AMG alloy wheels plus paddle shifters with the automatic transmission. The C300 Sport is equipped with new standard 17-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels.
