Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Star-shaped DRLs in the headlights
It looks like the star-shaped DRLs will be a common design feature on the next generation of Mercedes.
At the front, a new grille can be seen through the camouflage covering a much larger area of the bumper. There are also minor changes to the air intakes, and the headlights appear to be new, with the lighting units likely featuring star-shaped LED daytime running lights (DRLs) that will be common across the Mercedes lineup going forward.
The rear end also appears to have new taillight graphics and bumper design.
New sensor set improves ADAS
The evolution of ADAS is expected to lead to safer and more comfortable driving.
The side mirrors are new, with double LED strips for indicators and new cameras, and the windshield appears to have new sensors, which should lead to significant improvements in ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).
Will the V8 return to AMG?
Will the V8 engine, which many fans are hoping for, make a comeback?
The powertrain will be based on the current model, but will likely be further optimized for efficiency, with the nine-speed automatic transmission’s gear ratios adjusted to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
In addition, there is a possibility that the high-performance model, the AMG C 63 S, will be equipped with a V8 engine with a mild hybrid system instead of the 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbo plug-in hybrid.
The new and improved C-Class is expected to debut between spring and summer 2025.
