Under the Hood
A 168-hp 2.6-liter V-6 engine in the C240 sedan and wagon teams with a six-speed-manual gearbox or an optional five-speed driver-adaptive automatic transmission that incorporates Touch Shift. A 215-hp 3.2-liter V-6 has the same transmissions choices in the C320 wagon but matches up with only the automatic transmission in the C320 sedan.
