Powertrain Options and Availability
All C-Class sedans had a 4-speed automatic transmission, but engine choices differed markedly. A dual-overhead cam, 2.2-liter 4-cylinder went into the C220, while a 2.8-liter 6-cylinder provided the power to the C280 sedan. Delivering a lot more get-up-and-go was the 3.6-liter 6-cylinder engine installed in the limited-edition C36, producing 268 horsepower. For 1997, a 2.3-liter engine replaced the 2.2-liter 4-cylinder, and all models got a 5-speed automatic transmission. In 1998, Mercedes replaced the C36 with an even hotter model called the C43. It sported a 4.3-liter V8 with 302 horsepower and 302 pound-feet of torque. Then in '99, the base 2.3-liter was given a supercharger and an additional 39 horsepower.
