Engine Capacity

As already mentioned above, the 2011 Mercedes C Class comes in three variants; C300, C350, and C63 AMG. The engine capacity of all these variants differs in the engine type, the horsepower provided by the cars and cylinders. The C300 offers a rear-wheel drive for comfort and an all-wheel drive for the sports mode. C300’s engine offers a 3-litre V6 that can produce 228 horsepower.

The All-Wheel-Drive variant of C300 is powerful as compared to the one mentioned above. It is much better than an RWD V6 Engine. The C350 also has a 6-cylinder engine; a V6 engine. It differs in the displacement i.e., 3.5-litre thus, producing 268 horsepower. Both C300 and C350 have a sports mode or sports variant, but it is nowhere closer to the Mercedes C63 AMG. The C63 AMG almost reaches the sportscar status with a 6.3-litre, eight-cylindrical V8 Engine that roughly produces about 451 horsepower that scratches the itch of sportscar enthusiasts.

With such powerful engines, the 2011 C Class Mercedes still manages to keep the fuel consumption at a reasonable and economical level. The C63 AMG offers high fuel consumption for a midsize car of C type, but its twin-turbo V8 Engine puts behind all the complaints its drivers might have.

Owner Manual

In the dashboard console, the 2011 Mercedes C Class Owner’s Manual was included with the vehicle to describe operation and vehicle maintenance. Any Mercedes C Class Owners Manual may be found on the aftermarket in OEM form.

Price of 2011 Mercedes C Class Cars

The three variants of Mercedes C Class Cars each have a different price. The starting price of C300 is $33,990. The C300 has a further division of C300 4MATIC, C300 4MATIC Sport, and C300 4MATIC Luxury. Each of the three variants differs in the drive transmission, drivetrain, fuel efficiency, structure, interior, exterior, and other similar or dissimilar features.

The C350 has a starting price of $39,990, due to a bigger engine and more horsepower than the C300. Mercedes C63 AMG is the most expensive car among the class, with a starting price of $58,200. It differs so much in the price because of a bigger V8 Engine and doubles the amount of horsepower i.e., 451-horsepower.

Although the mentioned prices are the company prices during the launch, it is difficult to find a new 2011 C Class Mercedes because of it being such an old model. C Class Mercedes is still in production as the car brand launches a newer, upgraded model each year. However, if you are interested in the 2011 Mercedes C Class, you can buy a used model at a used car dealership or online.

Exclusive Add-on Features

Final Verdict

2011 C Class Mercedes is packed with luxury and comfort, with a choice of C300’s comfort, C63 AMG’s power or C350’s blend of both. The features you get for a C Class are somewhat similar to the competitors in many domains. The car lacks behind in two areas only, small boot space and a cramped back seat. Although the front seating provides a comfort and luxury experience, the back seats may drag the car behind. C Class Coupes overcomes the latter issue by offering a seating capacity of two people. Nonetheless, the 2011 C Class Mercedes is a good choice because it easily fits the budget.
