2023 Mercedes C300

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 C300.

The JSON provided contains only the vehicle name and the word "Overview" — no body style, platform, engine, horsepower, fuel-economy, feature, or reliability figures. Since the instructions require using only facts present in the JSON and forbid outside knowledge, there isn't enough source material to write the three- to four-sentence paragraph covering the vehicle's body/platform, standout specs, and reliability standing. If you can paste the full overview data (drive type, engine, output, transmission, platform, trim structure, J.D. Power or similar reliability score, and any notable changes for 2023), I can draft the paragraph immediately.
