*European Spec

The new generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class is meant to reinforce its leading position as the most advanced vehicle in its segment by showcasing a new progressive interior, a sporty exterior design, an electrified engine, innovative comfort features, and groundbreaking technology.

The all-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan will arrive in U.S. dealerships in the first half of 2022.

The new-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan will be offered in three highly-equipped, strategically curated trims for the U.S. market: Premium, Exclusive and Pinnacle.

Each trim is available on both the C 300 and C 300 4MATIC® Sedan, and showcases innovative technologies and luxurious features beyond the generous standard features, along with extensive options for customization.

Exterior Design

The new generation C-Class will showcase an all-new, cab-backward exterior design. Its sporty look is accentuated by the new A-shaped grille with an open star pattern and power domes on the good that create an aggressive profile and striking new look.

The new headlights, two-piece horizontal taillight design and sleek side profile with a higher shoulder line underscore the character of the C-Class as a modern sport sedan. With five new paints, all new upholstery options and a portfolio of new Mercedes-Benz and AMG® wheel options, the C-Class can be customized to suit individual tastes across the board.

Interior Design

2021 Mercedes-Benz C300 Smail360!

The progressive interior of the C-Class demonstrates a clear focus on technology and high-quality materials with its host of new trim options, a freestanding 12.3-inch digital instrument panel display, and a new large 11.9-inch central touch screen. Adopted from the S-Class, the portrait oriented screen enhances full screen navigation capabilities to create a better driving experience.

As an exclusive new C-Class feature, the 11.9″ central display is slightly tilted towards the driver by six degrees for the first time, further underscoring the sporty and dynamic driver-centered design and performance of the C-Class.

Technology

The latest generation of MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) technology is on par with that of the S-Class with its sophisticated, learning-capable infotainment system with advanced Voice Control. With significant processing power abilities, the vehicle interior becomes even more digital and intelligent including features such as the newly standard wireless smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Individual MBUX profiles that can be activated by biometric authentication via the fingerprint sensor, the possibilities for personalization and intuitive operation have become far more extensive, and controlling vehicle and comfort functions is easier than ever before.

Power

The C-Class model range also debuts a new turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an integrated starter generator and 48-volt mild hybrid technology – the first fourcylinder gasoline engine in the Mercedes-Benz lineup with this technology. The systematically electrified 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine in the C 300 and C 300 4MATIC® Sedan boasts effortless and efficient power and improved comfort and performance. With an output of 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, the C 300 models benefit from an increase of 22 lb-ft of torque compared to the predecessor. The 48V mild hybrid system provides a further 148 lb-ft of torque as well as up to an additional 20 hp for short periods for smooth acceleration and power delivery.
