The automaker’s bread-and-butter lineup gets the upgrade treatment for the 2022 model year. The redesigned compact C Class will be the first to arrive and will be lengthened by 2.5 inches, with an inch between the front and rear wheels. It will also sit about a half-inch lower. At launch, the C300 will use the current 255-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that’s linked to a nine-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive will also be available. Design-wise, the C Class will more closely resembles the larger E-Class sedan, especially at the front. Both coupe and convertible variants of the C Class are expected to arrive for 2023.
The drooping nose and tail tells you this is a Mercedes-Benz, but which one? The new C Class resembles many other Mercedes sedans.
