If you need more traction and control on your drives around Spring Valley, you’ll want to opt for the 4MATIC® versions of the C-Class and the E-Class Sedans. The C 300 4MATIC® and the E 350 4MATIC® have noticeably similar performance characteristics.
Here are some of the similarities and differences between the 4MATIC® C-Class and the 4MATIC® E-Class:
Price: The Mercedes-Benz C 300 4MATIC® has a lower starting price at $48,950 MSRP*. The E 350 4MATIC® starts at $62,300 MSRP*.
Performance: Both models are equipped with a 2.0L I-4 turbo engine with a mild hybrid drive. Because of this, both models can reach up to 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.
Fuel Economy: Both models get nearly identical fuel economy with 33 mpg highway. The E 350 gets slightly better fuel economy in the city with 24 mpg city compared to the 23 mpg city rating of the C 300.
Luxury: Both models come with the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) feature and have central multimedia display screens. The E 350 has a slightly larger 14.4-inch central display screen compared to the 11.9-inch screen of the C 300.
Being Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the C-Class and the E-Class are both equipped with top-of-the-line technology features to keep you comfortable, connected, and secure on the roads of Centennial Hills. Common interior tech features you’ll find inside both sedans include:
In-car Wi-Fi
Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®

Both the C-Class and the E-Class have similar design features, including available chrome wheels and athletic body styles. The biggest difference between these two when it comes to design is the AMG® body styling. Being that the E-Class doesn't have an available AMG® model, the AMG® body styling will look slightly different than the body styling of the AMG® C-Class model. That being said, you’ll have no problem standing out on the roads of Pahrump whether you drive the C-Class or the E-Class.
The base-level models of the C-Class and the E-Class both have the same performance specifications since they share the same engine. But, when you upgrade the top-level models of both sedans, the E-Class offers higher performance levels than the C-Class:
2.0L I-4 turbo engine with mild hybrid drive
