The Mercedes-Benz C280 4MATIC was a variant of the W203 C-Class that was introduced for the 2006 model year. The C 280 4MATIC was also built in station wagon known as the Mercedes-Benz C280 4MATIC Wagon. This car was powered by Mercedes' M272 E30 engine, which was a 3.0L V6 unit that generated 228hp and sent that power to all four wheels via a manual or automatic transmission options. Production of the W203 C280 4MATIC lasted until 2007, although the model series would continue in the next generation W204 C-Class as the W204 Mercedes-Benz C280 4MATIC.
