In 2007 he was presented the new model that aims to more sporty than the model that preceded it. Dimensions are increased and today is 458 cm long, 177 cm wide and 145 cm in height. Were introduced in this generation of Class C of the suspensions that adapt depending on speed, so the higher the speed the greater its stiffness. Traction is back but are planned for the future four-wheel drive variants.

The models with petrol engines: the part of the four-cylinder C180 Kompressor (cv/220 rose from 143 Nm to 156 Nm cv/229, with consumption down to 0.3 l/100 km) and the C200 Kompressor ( cv/250 from 163 hp to 184 Nm, -0.5 l/100 km). We then move on to the V6 petrol C230 (204 hp), C280 (231 hp), C350 (272 hp), and C350 CGI (292 hp), the latter with direct injection gasoline.

Turning to diesel, four-cylinder models are the C200 CDI (from 122 to 136 hp) and the C220 CDI (from 150 to 170 hp) and also feature a reduced consumption in the face of growing power (-0.5 l/100 km.) Limited edition "Early Edition" [like the GLK] was presented to the C250 CDI, a version that mounts a 2.2-liter twin turbo 204cv [1] and a whopping 500 Nm of torque at 1500 rpm . Turning to the V6, is the engine of 3.5 liters of displacement from 272 horses already seen on other models in the range Mercedes.

On all models is a standard 6-speed manual transmission, except for the C350 4Matic, the C320 and C63 AMG 4Matic which is standard on automatic 7-speed 7G-Tronic.

There are several packages that directly affect road qualities: Agility Control (suspensions more effective, more direct steering and gearbox clutches with more direct and precise), Advanced Agility, with electronically controlled suspension with two different calibrations (Sports and Control) and power steering to action variable and a more direct response to the commands of the accelerator, integrated with a control logic of the sportiest automatic transmission.

Obviously there is a AMG and C63 AMG Sports Pack, from well 457cv.
