“Great car, looks amazing, well put together. I have always driven A Mercedes-Benz. Feedback, I'm not a fan of the whining-like sound the car makes when I accelerate in a tight turn.”
2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is the new C63 AMG Edition 507, a 507-hp special model with upgraded brakes, forged wheels, and unique body details. The rest of this outgoing-generation lineup receives only light updates.
About the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
W204 sedan / C204 coupe generation, late-cycle year. For the US market, 2014 is the last year for the old C-Class sedan before the all-new 2015 sedan arrives, while the coupe and old-body AMG coupe carry this generation into 2015.
Mercedes-Benz positions the C-Class as a compact luxury car with the engineering, safety focus, and cabin polish of the brand’s larger sedans in a smaller footprint. In 2014, that means a wide spread of personalities: traditional Luxury sedans, sharper Sport sedans, a sleek coupe, and full AMG performance versions. The core appeal is solid build quality, confident road manners, strong safety credentials, and a choice between classic Mercedes elegance and a more athletic feel.
The 2014 range spans comfort-focused and sportier C250 sedans, V6-powered C300 and C350 models, and high-performance C63 AMG versions. Highlights include all-wheel drive on the C300 4MATIC and C350 4MATIC, a panoramic glass roof on the coupes, and a hand-built V8 in the C63 AMG.
What changed, by category

The new C63 AMG Edition 507 raises output from the AMG 6.3-liter V8 to 507 hp. The engines in the core C250, C300 4MATIC, and C350 models carry over.
Styling
The front grille gains black accents. The Edition 507 adds a vented aluminum hood with gloss-black heat extractors, special black trim, and 19-inch forged AMG wheels.

Split-folding rear seats become standard across the lineup, while C350 models move to standard 18-inch wheels. The Edition 507 also receives upgraded compound brakes with red calipers.
