C 300 or C 300 4MATIC?

- Choose the C 300 for rear-wheel-drive balance and the most accessible price in the C-Class range.
- Select the C 300 4MATIC for all-wheel-drive confidence—especially useful for rainy, snowy, or changing Indiana conditions.
- Both variants reach 60 mph in just 6.0 seconds, blending luxury with responsive everyday performance.
