- It will be a real facelift
- It could be revealed in early 2026
The next-generation BMW 3 Series has just entered development and will take about a year and a half to arrive. Now we have a glimpse of another generation that has been delayed longer than expected, the next-generation Mercedes C-Class. The car has already completed the first four years of its life, but no camouflaged prototype has been seen so far.Judging by the camouflage, changes will be made to the front bumper and grille. Changes will also be made to the interior graphics. headlights. Like other Mercedes models, the C-Class will get daytime running lights in the shape of a three-pointed star, the brand’s logo. But don’t let the lack of camouflage on the back fool you. As with other Mercedes models, the rear also gets an update, unless the developers haven’t worked on it yet. We saw a similar practice with the GLE and GLS facelifts.Mercedes has also improved the perceived quality of the interior with new materials that will be more pleasant to the touch, but there will be no design tweaks. The C-Class features a revised MBUX system and new safety and comfort equipment, inherited from its larger siblings. Mercedes will not make any major changes to the mechanics either, just simple optimizations to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, working on the ratios of the nine-speed automatic transmission. The Mercedes C-Class is expected to be revealed in early 2026 and go on sale later in the year.
