Mercedes-Benz C 300 AMG Line
The top-of the line C 300 AMG Line gets a new petrol powertrain replacing the diesel powered C 300d. The AMG Line gets cosmetic enhancements over the standard C-Class variants such as sporty AMG spec bumpers and AMG Line rims. Similarly, the interiors also get a sporty theme with the “Night Package” as standard, which brings in carbon-fibre bits, a blacked-out interior theme along with an AMG steering wheel. Other niceties include a premium Burmester 3D surround sound system, adaptive LED lights, blind spot assist, augmented reality for navigation and heated and ventilated front seats.
The top-spec C 300 AMG Line is powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine mated to a 9-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission producing 258 PS and 400 Nm. This powertrain helps the C 300 AMG Line to sprint from a standstill to 100 kmph in 6 seconds and can gain a top-speed of 250 kmph.
The outgoing C 300d used to be powered by a 2-litre turbo diesel unit producing 265 PS and 550 Nm.
