Overview
- Mercedes publicly revealed the revamped combustion C‑Class on Aug. 18 and opened European orders that day with the C200 sedan priced from €48,844 in Germany and UK on‑sale pricing reported from £46,995.
- The engine line has been standardized around updated 2.0‑litre M254 EVO four‑cylinders that use a 48‑volt integrated starter‑generator and an electric auxiliary compressor to cut emissions and ready the range for incoming Euro 7 rules.
- A plug‑in C 400 e 4MATIC is confirmed with a 19.53 kWh usable battery, roughly 100 km (62 miles) WLTP electric range, and DC charging up to 55 kW.
- The cabin now runs Mercedes’ MB.OS and fourth‑generation MBUX, which integrates AI services from ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing and Google Gemini for multi‑turn conversational assistance and supports over‑the‑air updates.
- Mercedes has also retuned suspension for firmer body control, retained optional rear‑axle steering up to 2.5° to shorten the turning circle, and added illuminated grille and star‑motif lighting; wider market deliveries, including the U.S., Australia and South Africa, are scheduled for the first half of 2027.
