Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan

Star-shaped daytime running lights

The current fifth-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class will soon undergo a mid-life facelift. The prototype spotted has its front end covered in camouflage, making it difficult to determine the details of the design, but it is likely that the shape of the grille and bumper will be changed.

The headlights and taillights will undoubtedly be evolving. While the overall shape will likely remain the same, star-shaped LED daytime running lights will be adopted. This new headlight design, which first appeared on the CLA Concept, will be introduced across the entire Mercedes lineup.

The rest of the car is left completely exposed. The rear end will be the same as the current C-Class, but the new model may also incorporate star-shaped design elements into the taillights.

Is the display an improved version of the current model?

Inside the cabin, attention is focused on whether the C-Class will feature the “Hyperscreen.” According to the latest information, three air conditioning vents have been confirmed in the center of the dashboard. It’s likely to feature a layout familiar from the current C-Class, with a vertical infotainment display and a separate instrument cluster.

The world premiere of the updated C-Class sedan and station wagon is expected later this year.
