Chrysler 300 & Mercedes-Benz C-Class - Top Selling Luxury Cars

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The C-Class is offered as three models: C300, C350 and C63 AMG. The C300 is available in rear-wheel and 4MATIC all-wheel drive configurations, both in either Sport or Luxury trim levels. It is powered by a 228-hp 3.0-liter V6 engine, and gets either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. The C350 is offered in rear-wheel drive and Sport trim only, and is equipped with a 268-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine and seven-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. The enthusiast-oriented C63 AMG boasts a 451-hp 6.3-liter AMG-tuned V8 engine, mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted aluminum paddle shifters. The C300 is outfitted with a power sunroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, ARTICO upholstery and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. The C350 adds a rear spoiler, heated front seats and satellite radio, while the C63 AMG is further equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, AMG sport seats, exclusive aluminum and carbon fiber trim elements, and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat. Standard safety features include stability and traction control systems, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, active anti-whiplash front head restraints, front side-impact airbags and overhead curtain airbags for front and rear occupants.

Chrysler 300

The Chrysler 300 stands out with bold, imposing styling reminiscent of an art deco look of years past. Its strong lines give off a sense of power and refined stature. The 300 is available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. An optional long wheelbase rear-wheel drive model is available that allows for a rear seat area much larger than the standard car. A 178-hp 2.7-liter V6 or a 250-hp 3.5-liter V6 powers the 300. Both the long wheelbase and the four-wheel drive versions come only with the V6 engine. Anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control are optional on the LX trim, but standard on the Touring and Limited trims.
