SEMA News sources recently spotted the refreshed Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan at a secret test location in Germany, signaling a long-awaited update after an extended delay.
Based on the new images of the prototype, the C-Class will feature revised front and rear bumpers, a redesigned grille and updated headlight and taillight graphics. As with other recent Mercedes-Benz remodels, the daytime running lights will incorporate the brand's signature three-pointed star design.
Inside the vehicle, Mercedes-Benz aims to provide upgraded materials for a more premium feel, although the overall design won't see drastic changes, sources said. Other updates include the MBUX infotainment system and new safety and comfort features from larger models in the lineup.
Mechanically, Mercedes-Benz is planning to fine-tune the nine-speed automatic transmission for better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, insiders said, but no major overhauls are expected.
The C-Class is expected to debut in the spring of 2025.
