Mercedes C Class Parts & Body Engine Diagram

Differences in Mercedes C-Class Parts by Model Generations and Years

W202 (1993-2000): Body design features angular, classic luxury styling; materials primarily high-strength steel with limited aluminum use; lighting mostly halogen headlights, with xenon options in higher trims; basic manual adjustments for windows and mirrors in lower trims. Engine options include reliable naturally aspirated inline-4 and inline-6 engines with diesel variants; focused on durability, modest output, and less emphasis on emissions.

W203 (2000-2007): A rounder, more aerodynamic design with increased use of aluminum for weight reduction; twin-round headlights with auto-lighting functionality and enhanced safety features like ESP and additional airbags. Introduced supercharged engines (e.g., C230 Kompressor) and CDI diesel technology for better efficiency and emissions; standardized 5-speed automatic transmissions.

W204 (2007-2014): Improved chassis rigidity, standard LED daytime running lights, and sporty aesthetics, especially in AMG Line trims. Engine updates include widespread use of turbocharged inline-4 engines (e.g., M271 series), BlueEFFICIENCY technology with start-stop systems, and high-performance options like the C63 AMG's 6.2L naturally aspirated V8.

W205 (2014-2021): Sleeker design with greater aluminum use, MULTIBEAM LED headlights, and a blend of luxury and sportiness. All engines became turbocharged, with 48V mild-hybrid systems introduced in higher trims; plug-in hybrid options like the C350e improved fuel economy and emissions.

W206 (2021-Present): Built on the MRA II platform, featuring DIGITAL LIGHT technology, smoother aerodynamics, and full electrification across engines. Mild-hybrid systems (48V) became standard, plug-in hybrids offered extended electric-only ranges exceeding 100 km, and AMG models shifted to a turbocharged inline-4 with hybrid assistance for performance and efficiency.

Each generation showcases advancements in materials, design, and technology, with earlier models focusing on mechanical reliability and modern versions emphasizing electrification, lightweight construction, and connectivity. For detailed compatibility, please provide the model year and variant.
