XpLiCiTsTyLeZ X I'm looking into purchasing a 2008 Sports Sedan C300W What's the difference between the two types of Sports Sedan's C300 and C300W. What does the "W" stand for?... #1 · Nov 4, 2010 I'm looking into purchasing a 2008 Sports Sedan C300W What's the difference between the two types of Sports Sedan's C300 and C300W. What does the "W" stand for?... Sort by Oldest first Oldest first Newest first Most reactions #2 · Nov 4, 2010 Isn't W referring to Sedan (obviously when S refers to Wagon, which I guess is not available for the US market on the 204 class). If this was the case, there would not be any difference between the two, as such. #3 · Nov 4, 2010 I think it just that in the US market the C300 is the Luxury Model/Trim and the C300W is the Sport Model with the AMG trim body/wheel/trim pieces. #4 · Nov 4, 2010 Never heard of a C300W. #5 · Nov 4, 2010 They are both Sports Sedans not luxury sedans...which is why I am confused what the [W] stands for... #6 · Nov 8, 2010 W is for 4-door 0 Reply #7 · Nov 8, 2010 Which country? #8 · Nov 8, 2010 I am pretty sure that Mercedes doesn't change their internal codes and abbreviations from country to country. I think that you are confusing MB with Toyota. :D Show more replies 0 Reply #9 · Nov 12, 2010 PoCoMotion is correct: W is 4 door, C - coupe, A - convertible Cabriolet and S is the wagon. #10 · Nov 12, 2010 That's right. In the parts of the world that get both sedan, coupe and station wagon versions of the C, W just means sedan, to differentiate it from the station wagon and coupe. Nothing to do with Sport or Luxury 0 Reply #11 · Nov 12, 2010 This is good to know. I took my car in on Tuesday for the Power Steering recall, and noticed on the invoice my model as C350W. #12 · Nov 17, 2010 C300W is Rear Wheel Drive sedan, C300W4 is 4matic sedan, C350W (only option, as it's only RWD). It can change as you change class, as the S class breaks down like this: S550V would be a standard US model S550 with rear wheel drive. (notice the V instead of W on the S class, I don't know why, that's just how it is.) S55V4 is the 4matic version of the S class in the US. E class: E350W (RWD sedan), E350W4 (4matic sedan), E550W, E550W4, etc. E wagon for example, yes, it's the S, but it's a 4matic only in the US this year, so all wagons are E350S4. (4matic E350 wagon). The old CLKs for example... CLKA is convertible, CLKC is coupe. SL class is SL550R (roadster), SLS AMG gullwing, SLSC (coupe). These are internal designations for the most part, you see them on invoices, actual option lists, any locate order through the Netstar system. Some VIN decoders on automotive classifieds website will show these notations, you'll see it in lots of internal company correspondence, for example, the monthyl 'specials' information, lease rate tables, etc. it's a different lease for the C300W, C300W4, C350W, etc. Ahhh, the little things we learn. #14 · Nov 18, 2010

It is V for the US S-class because the W-model is not sold in the US. They still put the V just like they put the W for the C350 even if no wagon (S) model (or 4-matic) is sold in the US. V refers to the long wheelbase model, other markets have the short wheelbase W221 in addition to the V221 (both are often called W221, specifically if the wheelbase makes no difference to the topic). 0 Reply #13 · Nov 17, 2010 @panzer82: Can you attach a link where one can obtain the options list with their VIN? #15 · Nov 29, 2010 c300w- rear wheel drive c c300w4-4matic c its just how mb codes their cars, take a look at your paperwork, it will be on there! other cars: s550v-rear wheel drive s class s550v4-4matic s class e350w-rear wheel drive e class e350w4-4matic e class e350s4-4matic c wagon e350a-e convert e350c-e coupe Insert Quotes Post Reply
