Mercedes-Benz is not sitting back and enjoy its recent success with big-time hits like the CLA-Class, GLA-Class, all-new C-Class and all-new S-Class. The three-pointed star is continuing to push so the brand broadens its domination.
Now we're seeing things like the GLE-Class four-door coupes and the refreshed SLK-Class make an appearance.
But as we're all aware, the C remains a primary entry point for many all-new Mercedes customers. It's critical the company not only keeps it as fresh as possible but offers it in as many form factors as possible. That's exactly what it's doing. While we've seen the CLK-Class and E-Class coupes before, now we're going to see a dedicated C-Class convertible. That means a couple standard variants and a bossy Mercedes-AMG C63 convertible.
Though we've seen a lot of these vehicles undergoing research and development, we haven't seen them fully nude. If you're patient, you'll see them come out from hiding at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show (GIMS).

While the car's styling remains similar to that of the C-Class Coupé, a longer rear deck can be seen, as well as a windscreen-mounted air deflector and a deployable wind break. The car's interior will be identical to that of other C-Class models.
The rear-wheel-drive convertible will be offered with the same six-cylinder petrol and four-cylinder diesel engines as the coupé. Included in the line-up will be a C450 Sport model, which will feature a 362bhp twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine and will be capable of reaching 62mph in less than five seconds. A plug-in hybrid model based on the C350e is also planned...
