2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Engines

When the sedan body style is paired with the standard 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine, you’ll be able to accelerate from zero to 60 MPH in as little as 5.7 seconds. For the swiftest acceleration experience, the AMG® C 63 S coupe engine allows you to blast off and reach 60 MPH in 3.7 seconds.
2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Drivetrain Systems
A stimulating engine is only part of the performance equation. You also need an intelligent drivetrain to direct all that power accurately.
Rear-wheel drive is the standard drivetrain on each of the base 2021 C-Class model trims. It combines with:
- A 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission
- DYNAMIC SELECT drive mode selection
- Selective damping system
- Torque Vectoring Brake
The AMG® selection, though, takes control and stability up several notches. To start, the AMG® trims are engineered with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. This means that all of the wheels receive power from the engine. However, with this type of drivetrain, varying amounts of power will be directed to the front and back wheels according to driving conditions, providing the necessary traction where needed.
You’ll also enjoy AMG®-exclusive performance features like:
- AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT
- AMG® RIDE CONTROL Sport Suspension with 4-stage damping
- ESP® Dynamic Cornering Assist
- AMG® Sport Exhaust System
- 3-stage Electronic Stability Program
2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Wheels and Brakes
Wheels are another key component to 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class performance. The right type and size of wheel will further enhance the traction and control your 2021 C-Class vehicle has on the road.
You have large 18-inch wheels equipped as standard on whichever body style you choose. They come in several stylish designs to allow you to express yourself. Larger, 19-inch wheels are available on the AMG® trims to elevate your sport-driving experience and give you more traction.
Also, the AMG® trims come with an AMG® Performance Braking System that complements the power of the mighty engines by providing enough braking power—as well as withstanding the heat and stress of braking such a high-powered vehicle.
