Changes more than skin deep
Take the 3.5-litre V6 out to play and you will soon find that the car can overpower the suspension and push you off the high side of an on-ramp or tight corner if you get on it too soon. Freeway or town driving puts enough power at your command that lane changes, passing or even having fun can be done with just the push of the throttle.

There will be more versions of the C-Class offered in Canada than in the U.S., including: C250 RWD (4-cylinder), C250 4MATIC (V6), C300 4MATIC, C350 RWD and C350 4MATIC.

The exterior changes might be subtle, but the addition of a turbo 4-cylinder and a wider range of kit better prepares the C-Class to compete with the likes of the Audi A4 and BMW’s next-generation 3-Series.
