C class saloon vs coupe

[Laurenz]

Ok, apart from the obvious, can anybody tell me the differences between the C205/W205? I have a feeling the Coupe might have the 9spd auto vs 7g+ for the saloon. Are there other differences underneath? suspension?

Car in question is a 2018 C200 4matic Coupe.

Many thx

9 speed is the better box .

As far as i'm aware, the MY2018 cars were the last year to be built with the 7G+ gearbox, which is perfectly usable - I have one in my car and its never caused me any issues.

Does a 7g+ have a steering wheel selector ? I thought 9g saw the death of the gear stick type selector.

You mean the column shift for P, R, N and D? If so yes, it does and very convenient it is too.

My 2018 C250 4matic has the 9g box , and has a July 2017 build date.
The 4matic also sits slightly higher than similar 2 wheel drive W205 cars.
