Revised 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Unveiled

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class benefits from a fairly major upgrade for 2022. Its maker today unveiled the sixth generation of the luxury sedan to the world, revealing a model that features evolutionary changes to its styling that more than anything bring it into closer line with that of the family's other sedans.

The big news with this new generation is not its lines, but what's under the hood. We've known it for quite some time now, but the offering includes 4-cylinder engines, and 4-cylinder engines only.

And yes, that’s so even for the AMG variants.

 

Aesthetically, to find the changes you have to pay attention to the details. Up front, there are scowling headlights and a wider grille, an approach that we've seen with the group's most recent sedans from the A-Class to the S-Class. Similarly, the headlights, thin and wide, are a now-familiar signature of the brand. The hood gains two stripes that add character and the roofline offers a less-pronounced slope toward the trunk. Overall, the C-Class has grown with a 2.5-inch gain in length, one inch added to the wheelbase, and about half an inch added to the width.
