Vehicle specifications

While the appearance looks familiar, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes with a new illuminated grille, headlamps and taillamps with star-design daytime running lights, and chiseled bumpers.

It has a rich mix of chrome and gloss-black portions that give it an elegant look, and it rides on 18- and 19-inch wheels depending on the trim. 

The vehicle also comes in two color options: Miami Silver Metallic and Moody Sky Grey Metallic.

Inside the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class are a 12.3-inch high-resolution driver display and a portrait-oriented, floating 11.9-inch central multimedia display. Within the new multifunction steering wheel is a control concept featuring a rocker for Distance Assist DISTRONIC and a roller for volume control, both of which provide haptic feedback.

The optional MBUX Augmented Reality Head-up Display from the new S-Class and EQS is also available in the new C-Class for the first time. 

Aside from that, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class features the fourth-generation MBUX infotainment system with artificial intelligence from ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing and Google Gemini.

The MBUX infotainment system is mated to the optional 15-speaker Burmester 3D Surround Sound System with Dolby Atmos and a 710-watt amplifier.

Further, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class boasts an ambient lighting system made up of 64 individual tones and 10 color worlds, which spans the sides of the center console, across the instrument panel, and to the front and rear door handles. 

Featuring mild-hybrid technology, the car is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 48-volt electrical system. 

Equipped with eight cameras, five radar sensors and 12 ultrasonic sensors, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is outfitted with numerous driver and parking assistance technologies under the MB.Drive system.
