4Matic fuel consumption

I checked the fuel consumption figures on the CLA250 and couldn't believe how much is lost with 4Matic. I don't know if there will be similar numbers for the W205 C300's.

MB shows you get 2 mpg less in city driving and 6 mpg less on the highway. I will have to wait until I can get a two wheel drive model. All the reports about improved fuel economy will be lost if you have to get 4Matic.

4matic could be cool, depending on average weather conditions where one lives. i think even if there's a small hit to fuel economy, having 4matic can outweigh that. with the weight savings upfront, mpg numbers for 4matic may be similar to current w204 (in the US)..i just did a search and i'm having trouble finding US mpg numbers for the w205, BUT, like i said, weight savings could make it very comparable.
