In the luxury compact sedan class, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is without peer. Incredible engines, sophisticated performance, and premium amenities ensure an unforgettable ownership experience. Moreover, assets such as a powerful turbo-hybrid engine, PRE-SAFE® driver assistance technology, and supersized wheels will excite every Mercedes-Benz of Asheville sedan shopper.
Power and Performance
At our Asheville, NC Mercedes-Benz dealership, you'll have two trims to consider: the C 300 and the C 300 4MATIC®. Both pair a 9G-TRONIC® nine-speed automatic transmission with a 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo engine with mild hybrid drive. This configuration produces up to 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, along with a 6.0-second zero to 60 time. The only notable difference between these trims is that the C 300 equips rear-wheel drive (RWD) and gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg city/35 mpg highway, while the C 300 4MATIC® features 4MATIC® AWD/all-wheel drive and earns an estimated 24 mpg city/33 mpg hwy.
Technology Features
Innovative infotainment is ingrained in this luxury sedan. Both trims equip the highly regarded, third-generation MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, whose focal point is a large, portrait-oriented 11.9-inch touchscreen that looks and functions like a work of art. Through this screen, you can access premium tech such as wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, hands-free Bluetooth®* interfacing, and wireless charging. Plus, with the MBUX interface, you can set up multiple user profiles and watch the platform's ever-evolving AI learn your routines and preferences.
Safety Systems
Leading-edge safety features and driver assistance systems are another reason for the incredible popularity of this new Mercedes-Benz model. Standard driver assistance systems include proprietary technologies such as PRE-SAFE® and PRE-SAFE® Sound, which combine to provide next-level pre-crash protection. Another novel system is PARKTRONIC® with Active Parking Assist, which not only helps to locate a parallel or perpendicular parking spot, but also provides automatic parking assistance.
