C300 2015 vs the newer models.

Is the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 the exact same body?
Should I wait for the 2019 or stick to the 2018 or 2017 if the lease deal is really good?
Is there normally a significate difference in price?
I wanted to get an idea if I should wait on the 2019.

**The dealer advised the 2019 will be ready in August or September and I was hoping to turn my lease in May, since I was over my mileage already.
My lease is up in Nov.. I currently have a 2015 Class. I consider it basic compared to the C classes I see on the road with better rims, black roof, etc.
For some reason, I feel like all the other c300 looks so much more sleek than mines. I swear the 2015 looks different.

They’re the same, the base models do look rather cheap for being a Mercedes. Halogen headlights no moonroof 17” wheels. I think corollas come standard with led headlights. Mine has everything and looks way nicer than any of the 2018 loaners they had.

0i agree with Cali on the above statement, the c300 bare bone can look really cheap. I am actually about to lease a fully loaded 2017 C300 4Matic Luxury in the next week or so, i wouldn't want to get a "bare bone" 2018 C300 4Matic instead and that is the only reason im going with the 2017 (Plus im saving some money because its a 2017 and not a 2018), the 2018's have a new 9 speed transmission while the 2017 and prior had a 7 speed transmission.

Yes, Mines look cheap. I can agree. Maybe I can look into the 2017 loaded and get a good rate if they are not all gone by now.

I plan on speaking to the dealer today.

So the 9 speed is not good?

I’m not saying the 9 speed is not good, it’s probably great and better than the 7 speed but it doesn’t warrant spending extra money to lease a 2018 model with the 9 speed transmission(and whichever other things they improved in the 2018 over the the 2017) and not have all the extras I can get with a fully loaded 2017 (Plus I’m saving some money going with a fully loaded 2017 over a standard bare bone 2018)

Thats good, so that means could get less miles.
