The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has received its most comprehensive technical update yet, bringing sharper styling, a more tech-heavy cabin and updated electrified petrol and diesel engines. The refreshed Saloon and Estate will be available to order from August 18, with prices in Germany starting at €48,844 (₹54,07,519) including VAT.
The update keeps the C-Class familiar while adding more technology and comfort to the package.
The biggest visual changes are concentrated at the front and rear.
Inside, Mercedes has focused on making the C-Class feel more like a smaller luxury flagship. The cabin gets new trim and upholstery options, an upgraded Burmester 3D sound system and 64-colour ambient lighting.
Technology is arguably the biggest change. The new C-Class runs on Mercedes-Benz’s MB.OS operating system, allowing over-the-air updates and additional features through Digital Extras.
The fourth-generation MBUX system now uses AI from ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing and Google Gemini, allowing the virtual assistant to handle more natural, multi-part conversations and remember context. Navigation is also based on Google Maps and gets Google’s Automotive AI Agent for conversational searches.
The updated C-Class continues with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains, with all engines developed with future emissions regulations in mind.
The petrol range includes the C 200, C 250 and C 300, with outputs ranging from 177hp to 258hp. All get 48V mild-hybrid technology and Mercedes’ second-generation integrated starter-generator.
The C 400 e plug-in hybrid produces 395hp and 650Nm, while offering up to 100km of electric range.
Mercedes has also tweaked the chassis, suspension and steering. Rear-wheel steering can turn the rear wheels by up to 2.5 degrees, reducing the turning circle to 10.64m.
The new C-Class also gets an expanded suite of MB.DRIVE assistance systems, including lane-change assistance, parking assistance and enhanced collision avoidance features.
