Thread to discuss: MY16 C300 features not in MY15

Alright, let it out. What did I not get by getting a used MY15 a couple of weeks ago.

I know MY16 supports remote start. What else?

There is very little different in the 2015 compared to the 2016. As noted above, remote start, heated steering wheel and 360 camera are really the only things I can think of.

Oh, there is a new Designo Red for the C class in 2016. I wouldn't personally pay that much for a paint color, but I'm sure there are those who will.

Just enjoy your new car and don't think about what you might have had. As long as the one got had the options you most wanted.

Well, I thought this one had 360 camera as well, one of the dealers had mentioned that, I found out that it does not have it when I went to take the delivery. Don't care that much for heated steering wheel but wife wanted to have remote start if possible. But you are right, should enjoy what I have, it has almost all the options except 4matic suspension.

PS: I wish internet worked better. It is a hit and miss to connect, even for Internet radio. Not sure if they fixed it in MY16.

My 2016 C isn't going to have 4matic either. But then I live in Florida and just don't need it. As to the internet, I don't know if where you live has anything to do with how well it receives a signal or not, but I would think it could?

I misspoke. Meant Airmatic. Mine is 4Matic. Need it here.

I am sure the local cell coverage matters, not sure which service is used by Mercedes.

Believe it or not, Canadian MY15 C300's didn't have Intelligent Drive as an option. It's available in MY16 C300's.

Other minor Command changes are mentioned in https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-displays.html

MY16 also includes the 5 years of Mbrace. Here are all of the highlights (I think everything else was mentioned):

Are there any exterior differences between MY15 and MY16? I like to be able to tell the MY by looking at it.

I saw a red car with the night package at the dealer today and it looked awesome! I'd imagine that car won't sit around too long.

It probably won't sit long, but man.......$1400 for the Designo Red is simply too much $$, IMHO. I resent having to pay $720 for a metallic paint, but am doing so as I'm tired of having white or black cars.

I think the charge was actually $1,050 but I hear what you're saying.

I'm not sure where I remembered reading the new Designo Red is $1400. For MY 2015 the Designo white is $1515. I can't imagine the new red is any less.

When I placed my order for my C300 last month, they didn't seem to know how much the Designo Cardinal Red Metallic was going to be priced. I guess in the scheme of things $1080 isn't that bad. I still think it's a bit of a rip-off to charge such a premium for metallic paint to begin with. And if the new red is only $1080, what makes the Designo Diamond White Metallic worth almost $500 more? A good friend of mine has that paint on her E400 Cabriolet, and I just don't get it.
