The unveiling of the brand-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is rapidly approaching. Reason for Mercedes to do something more economical with the camouflage material.
For the first time since last summer we meet the next Mercedes-Benz C-class as Estate. The Germans recently dropped a lot of stickers on the sedan and that now also applies to the Estate. At the front it is more clearly visible that the new C-class gets considerably sharper-shaped headlights, but that the whole looks very familiar. Unfortunately, the back is covered a bit more enthusiastically, but expect a thorough evolution of the well-known here.
With the arrival of the new C-class, Mercedes-Benz is pulling things right with its bigger brothers. For example, the E-class received a facelift last year that brings it well in line with the S-class unveiled at the end of 2020. The C-class is said flatly again a shrunken version of the two. Whether the Coupé and Cabrio version will return again is not yet certain.

Does so little change really? Well, that is not so bad in practice. Undoubtedly, the car will be redesigned almost to the last screw and the interior will also be considerably more modern. There we find, among other things, the latest version of the MBUX infotainment system. There are also quite radical changes in the motor. Reportedly even the AMG versions, the C53 and C63, will soon have a four-cylinder in the nose. They have to provide a hefty blow of power thanks to the support of an electric motor. For milder versions, it is also a (mild) hybrid that strikes the clock.
