The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, including the popular C300, offered a range of models and customization options to suit different preferences. Both the C300 and other C-Class variants came well-equipped as standard, featuring 17-inch wheels with unique designs for different trims, a sunroof to bring in natural light, and the convenience of automatic headlights and cruise control for comfortable driving. Inside, dual-zone automatic climate control ensured personalized comfort, while the tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and eight-way power front seats allowed drivers to find their ideal seating position. MB-Tex premium vinyl upholstery provided a touch of luxury, and connectivity was covered with Bluetooth and an eight-speaker stereo system including a CD player, auxiliary audio jack, and a 5-inch pop-up display screen for entertainment and information.
For those seeking enhanced features in their 2010 C300 Mercedes, the Premium I Package was a desirable upgrade. This package added practical elements such as auto-dimming mirrors and automatic wipers, along with driver memory functions for seat and mirror settings, a power-adjustable steering wheel for optimal comfort, and heated front seats for colder climates. Satellite radio provided a wider range of audio entertainment choices.
Stepping up to the C350 Sport essentially built upon the C300 Sport by incorporating the Premium I Package as standard. It further differentiated itself with a more powerful V6 engine for increased performance and distinctive black bird’s-eye maple wood trim, offering a sportier aesthetic. At the top of the performance spectrum, the C63 AMG shared similar equipment levels but delivered significantly enhanced driving dynamics. The C63 AMG boasted a robust V8 engine, a firmer sport-tuned suspension, upgraded bigger brakes for confident stopping power, and larger 18-inch wheels. AMG-specific interior and exterior styling cues, leather AMG sport seats, and aluminum paddle shifters completed the high-performance package.
Further expanding the available features for every 2010 C-Class, including the 2010 C300 Mercedes, was the Premium II Package. This comprehensive package included all the features of the Premium I Package and added bi-xenon headlights and LED taillamps for improved visibility, a rear sunshade for passenger comfort, and a practical split-folding rear seat for increased cargo versatility. For those prioritizing in-car technology, the Multimedia package introduced the COMAND electronics interface, a hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic updates to help navigate efficiently, a six-CD changer, an iPod interface for seamless device integration, 6GB of digital music storage, and a larger pop-up display screen for enhanced usability. A COMAND package, available for all models except the C63, offered similar features but excluded the navigation system itself. Drivers looking for a more dynamic driving experience in the C300 or C350 Sport could opt for the Dynamic Handling package. This package included 18-inch AMG wheels for a sportier stance, a driver-adjustable suspension to tailor ride quality, a quicker steering ratio for sharper handling, and steering wheel shift paddles when equipped with the automatic transmission for more engaging gear control.
For the high-performance C63 AMG, the AMG Seating package provided front memory seats, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and upgraded leather upholstery for enhanced comfort and luxury. The ultimate performance upgrade for the C63 AMG was the AMG Performance package, featuring even more capable upgraded brakes, a limited-slip differential for improved traction, a track-calibrated suspension for optimal handling at high speeds, an increased top speed, and a leather/faux suede steering wheel for a premium sporty feel.
Beyond packages, a range of standalone options allowed buyers to further personalize their 2010 C-Class. These included stylish 18-inch wheels, a panorama sunroof (excluding the C63) for an open-air experience, a rearview camera (requiring the Multimedia package for display), rich leather upholstery, heated front seats for individual comfort, keyless ignition/entry for convenience, satellite radio, the iPod interface, and a premium Harman Kardon surround-sound stereo system for audiophiles. The 2010 C300 Mercedes offered a compelling blend of standard luxury, customizable features, and performance options, making it a desirable choice in its class.
