The Mercedes-Benz W205 is the fourth generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class which was produced by Daimler AG between 2014 and 2021. The W205 C-Class was preceded by the W204 C-Class and superseded by the W206 C-Class. The fourth-generation C-Class was available in sedan (W205), station wagon/estate (S205), coupe (C205), cabriolet (A205) and long-wheelbase sedan (V205) body styles.

^ Among other stuff it speculates about dimensions, weight and touchpad. 
Sources say the new C-class will have a wheelbase of around 2850mm, or 90mm longer than today’s model. With a corresponding increase in length and appreciably wider tracks permitting greater body width, the new car is claimed to offer greater accommodation and load capacity than its predecessor.
Despite the increase in external dimensions, a series of lightweight construction initiatives, including a greater use of tailored blanks within the monocoque steel floorpan, inner body structure and other load-bearing elements, are claimed to reduce weight by up to 80kg compared with today’s C-class.
Further weight saving is evident in the body panels, which are made of aluminium, steel and composites.
Stylistically, the new C-class borrows heavily from the latest S-class, albeit with a more sporting grille treatment similar to the facelifted E-class’s. The move is aimed at giving Mercedes’s key models a more cohesive look.
But while Mercedes is quick to talk up the look of the new C-class’s exterior, it says the real progress has been made inside. The new model features high-quality fascias, new-generation switchgear, the largest display monitor in its class and more intuitive touchpad controls, which is all set to provide what one source describes as “the best and highest-quality interior in the class”.

WOW. What a surprisingly early presentation. It looks like a miniature S-class. If those snippets are anything to go buy this is going to be one outstanding luxury compact inside and out.

Needless to mention that this will be one extremely successful car for Mercedes-Benz. Ooops-I said it !
Can't wait for the W213 E-Class. M-B appears to be on the verge of a massive market-capturing roll !

wow, from what I gathered from that video, that interior looks very promising.

Wait a min, Mercedes is going to present the C-Class before January, and even before the L.A. auto show next month? I thought we'd have to wait at least 2 more months to even see this car?? That said, wow it looks good. They said the interior would be class leading so I guess that is a legit claim because those shots look nothing like the current car or any other entry level car. I just can't believe the timing of it though. If they show it now, C-Class sales are going to tank because a lot will be waiting for this car and rightly so, it looks stunning.
