The '''Mercedes-Benz C-Class''' is a series of [[compact executive car]]s produced by [[Mercedes-Benz Group AG]]. Introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the [[Mercedes-Benz W201|190 (W201)]] range, the C-Class was the smallest model in the marque's line-up until the [[Mercedes-Benz A-Class#W168|W168 A-Class]] arrived in 1997. The C-Class has been available with a "[[4Matic|4MATIC]]" [[four-wheel drive]] option since 2002. The [[Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W204)|third generation (W204)]] was launched in 2007 while the current [[Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W206)|W206]] generation was launched in 2021.

Initially available in sedan and a station wagon configurations, a fastback coupé (SportCoupé) variant followed and was later renamed to [[Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class]]. It remained in production until 2011 when a new W204 C-Class coupé replaced it for the 2012 model year.

The '''Mercedes-Benz W201''' is the internal designation for the [[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]] 190 series sedans, a range of front-engine, rear drive, five passenger, four-door sedans manufactured over a single generation, from 1982 to 1993 as the company's first [[compact car|compact]] class automobile.
[[File:1985 Mercedes Benz W201 190E (Interior).jpg|left|thumb|1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E W201 Interior]]
Designed by [[Bruno Sacco]], head of styling at Mercedes-Benz from 1975 to 1999, the W201 debuted at the 1982 [[Paris Motor Show]]. Manufactured in both Bremen and Sindelfingen, Germany, production reached 1,879,629 over its eleven-year model life.{{sfn|Deutsche Autos, Band 6,|2001|page=100}}

[[File:1991 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II no. 494, rear left.jpg|thumb|left|Mercedes 190 E 2.5 16 Evolution II]]
The W201 introduced a [[Multi-link suspension|5-link rear suspension]] subsequently used in E and C class models, front and rear anti-roll bars, anti-dive and anti-squat geometry—as well as airbags, ABS brakes and [[seatbelts#Pretensioners and webclamps|seatbelt pretensioners]]. Its extensive use of light-weight high-strength steel enabled it to withstand a concrete barrier offset crash at 35&nbsp;mph (56&nbsp;km/h) without serious passenger injury or cabin deformation.

Mercedes introduced a performance variant, marketed as the '''190 E 2.3-16V''', at the [[Frankfurt Motor Show#1983|1983 Frankfurt Motor Show]].

In May 1993, the first generation [[W202]] C-Class was introduced as a replacement for the 190. The first [[Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W202)|C-Class (W202)]] sedan was manufactured in August 1992. The C-Class sedan was the company's entry-level model up until 1997 when Mercedes launched the A-Class. Styling themes were carried over from the previous W201 series, but the new series had a smoother and rounder design than the last generation of compact Mercedes, with styling cues from the [[Mercedes-Benz W124|W124 E-Class]] (short, high trunk and taller tail lights), W140 S-Class (front end), and R129 SL-Class (headlights).

The second generation C-Class was introduced in March 2000 and production began in March 1999.  The sedan debuted with a range of inline-four and V6 petrol engines and inline-four and -five diesels, later W203's received the V6 diesel. Most of the engines were carried over from the W202, but the C320 was exclusive, offering {{convert|160|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}}. The diesels now featured [[common rail]] [[direct fuel injection]] and [[variable geometry turbocharger]]s. A six-speed manual gearbox was optional on some of the range, With exception to the C320 and C32 AMG. Notably (post 2005), for the first time, the number designations were no longer equivalent to the engine displacement, more specifically in the Mercedes C200 (1.8-litre), C240 (2.6-litre) and C200 CDI (2.2-litre).

The C-Class received a facelift in 2011 for the 2012 model year including new LED taillights, a revised dashboard and instrument cluster layout, and a revised front fascia and headlights. The W204 platform continued into 2015 with the C-Class coupe. The final farewell of the W204, and also the naturally aspirated V8, was in the Edition 507 model. This had increased power, lightweight wheels and the vented hood from the Black Series.
