The third generation, on sale from March 2007 as a saloon and estate, joined in 2011 by a two-door coupé that outlived the saloon by a year.[1] Over 2.4 million were built, making it Mercedes-Benz’s best-selling model at the time.
The engine range spans a supercharged 1.8-litre four in the entry C 200 Kompressor to the 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 of the C 63 AMG, the last C-Class AMG before the model switched to a smaller, turbocharged V8. The C 63’s 457 PS launch figure was later joined by 487 PS Performance Package and Development Package versions on the same generation; this entry records the standard 2007 figure, and says so, rather than the highest number ever sold under the badge.
No trim-level kerb weight is recorded here. The only NHTSA record found for this generation covers a combined “C230/C300/C350” RWD sedan entry that does not correspond to any single badge sourced elsewhere in this entry, so rather than attach a four-cylinder or diesel car’s weight to a V6 record, the field is left empty.
