The next generation Mercedes C-Class is turning out to be a stunner and is almost looking as a smaller copy of the new S-Class as these first photos of a lightly camouflaged C-Class shows. On two of the photos showing the rear-end we see an S-Class in the background and they are looking really close.
If we try to look beyond the camouflage at the front we expect there will be some influences taken from the F800 Concept Car shown in Geneva 2 years ago with a more marked front grille. Since the C-Class is the most important car for Mercedes they will not experiment too much with the design, but it still needs to look dynamic and sporty to give both the Audi A4 and the 3-Series from BMW a match.
The new C-Class will not only be offered with various petrol and diesel engines but there will also be a hybrid variant for the first time.
We expect the new C-Class to get alot of the new electronic gizmos that will first appear in the S-Class to make it the safest car in it s class.
First out in 2014 is the sedan, followed by the wagon six months later. About one year after that we will see a coupe and convertible version as well.
And this time the C-Class will be produced in the US as well, the Alabama plant will build the C-Class alongside the GL and M-Class.
