2 Answers
The differences between the C260L Star Edition and the Sport Edition are as follows: 1. Exterior: The Star Edition adds a Night Package compared to the standard Sport Edition, including black accents on the grille and wheels, enhancing the car's sporty and personalized look. The front end, complemented by the sporty bumper, appears flat and wide, catering to the aesthetic preferences of younger consumers. 2. Interior: The Star Edition's cabin is largely identical to the Sport Edition, with the only difference being the addition of a Night-Edition badge in front of the multimedia control panel. 3. Powertrain: The Mercedes-Benz C260L is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system, and the Star Edition makes no changes to this setup. The engine delivers a maximum power of 135kW (184Ps) and a maximum torque of 280Nm, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission in a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The suspension setup features front and rear multi-link independent suspension.
As a new owner of the C260L Star Edition, the biggest differences from the Sport version are in these areas: the wheels are AMG five-star style with blackened finish, while the Sport version has standard double five-spoke wheels; the front grille is replaced with a dazzling diamond grille that stands out in sunlight, whereas the Sport version has a black mesh grille; the steering wheel features an additional Edition badge at the bottom. Oh, and the seat stitching is changed to coral red, which feels much more premium than the standard stitching in the Sport version. The key point is that the Burmester sound system comes standard across the lineup, unlike the Sport version where you have to pay extra for it as an option. When driving around, those in the know can instantly recognize it as the limited edition, and that’s exactly why I spent nearly 20,000 yuan more—for its collectible value.
