Overview
- Mercedes unveiled the facelifted combustion C‑Class as its most comprehensive technical upgrade for the model, covering engines, chassis, driver aids, exterior design, and digital architecture.
- The front end now features a larger, illuminated grille and repeated three‑pointed‑star lighting motifs that visually link the ICE C‑Class to the electric C‑Class while the range adds a new estate body.
- The cabin runs MB.OS with fourth‑generation MBUX that integrates AI models including ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing and Google Gemini, offers multi‑turn conversational assistance and augmented‑reality navigation, and supports over‑the‑air updates plus a ‘Digital Extras’ app ecosystem.
- Mercedes revised its powertrains around a 2.0‑litre M254 ‘Evo’ petrol with a 48V integrated starter‑generator, kept diesel for Europe, and boosted plug‑in hybrid electric range to roughly 62 miles/100 km WLTP using a ~19.5 kWh usable battery to meet incoming Euro 7 rules.
- European order books opened on Aug. 18 with UK pricing from £46,995, and the model is slated to reach Australia and the United States in the first half of 2027, with some advanced driver‑assist or convenience functions likely varying by market or offered via subscription.
