The C-Class Estate comes as standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, which makes gearshifts a sheer delight with their very short throw action. (C 320 CDI 4MATIC, C 350 and C 63 AMG equipped as standard with 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission.)
The all-new modified transmission ratio in the C 320 CDI which has been tuned specifically to handle the impressive 510 Nm of torque.
And if you prefer, the C-Class will shift gear for you. The electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission can judge people to perfection and adjusts – sporty or comfortable – to your personal driving style. To shift up or down manually, you simply need to nudge the selector lever right or left. You can get the 5-speed automatic transmission as an optional extra for all 4-cylinder models.
The highlight of our transmission technology is standard in C 320 CDI 4MATIC, C 350 and C 63 AMG – and optional for all other 6-cylinder models: the 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission. Seven forward gears constantly provide optimum engine speed and deliver virtually imperceptible gear changes. When changing down, the 7G-TRONIC – unlike other automatic transmissions – delivers extra-fast mid-range sprints by skipping individual gears. By simply nudging the selector lever, you can also shift gear manually.
