As expected, the redesigned models fetch a modest premium over their 2014-model-year predecessors. A model shakeup leaves the 2015 C300 4Matic as the only direct comparison, adding $1,000 to reach $41,325 (including $925 freight).
The rear-wheel-drive C300 base model commands $39,325, marking a $2,000 jump over the previous C250 that previously sat at the bottom of the range. At the top, the C400 4Matic is priced at $49,515.
The 2015 lineup features several new engine choices, starting with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that provides 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque for the RWD and AWD C300 sedans. The C400 steps up to a bi-turbo 3.0-liter V6 that gives the C400 329 ponies and 354 lb-ft of twist.
Buyers will be able to pick up the C300 4Matic later this summer, however the entry-level RWD edition is not slated to arrive until early next year.
