SPIED: FIRST Look At The Refreshed, 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class — Can YOU Spot The Changes?

One of Mercedes-Benz's volume-selling products is the C-Class sedan. Once considered the "entry-level" three-pointed star, that's simply not the case anymore. At least since the A-Class rolled along.

Going up against the likes of the Audi A4 and BMW 3-Series is certainly no small undertaking but the current-gen C-Class is giving the luxury sector some hell. Thing is, however, this does not exclude the product from requiring a bit of upkeep to make things interesting. 

While the 2018 model year C-Class will get a bit of a touch up here and there, don't expect any drastic changes. 

From where I sit I can tell the following will get adjusted: Front/rear clips, headlights and taillights, wheels and tire packages, and the interior will get a slight reworking. Although there's conflicting spy shots, it appears as thought the centrally mounted infotainment system will stay but get an increase in size. Alternatively, we won't be surprised if Mercedes provides an option to switch the analogue instrument panel for a fully digital unit a la the S- and E-Class sedans.

Yep. The silly, droopy-ass exhaust finishers don't help.

Mercedes has largely moved away from BMW - and others by stressing Luxury in it vehicle - and allowing AMG to be the Performance arm.

SInce the market is also moving that way - and since the market is also moving away from cars themselves - to Raised Station Wagons with Four wheel drive.

Same sausage, different size...but I guess the customers don't care.

I'm not fond of the melted soap-bar styling direction, but people are buying them.

Sidebar - with the advent of the new European pedestrian impact standards and other safety changes, the IP height from behind the driver's seat has been raised by about 3" or so over prior generations, so it is becoming challenging for shorter drivers to see over the instrument panel.

My mother-in-law is 4'9" and we had to get here a CPO last gen C300 because she could not see over the IP of any MB, Audi, Lexus, or BMW product

Another example of they say it's restyled but you have to look hard to see the evidence of it.

I agree with everybody but if you think about it, this is the C model that finally sent the 3-series back in the line

Completely agreed here.

This C makes the 3-Series and even the A4 look like they're a class below.
