We've had many pictures of the upcoming C Class before, but never pictures as revealing as these. There's still a lot of camouflage hiding important styling details, but these pictures show more of the new C Class than we've ever seen before.
We're expecting to see a production-ready look at the sedan about a year from now at the Geneva show, with the wagon version to follow by 6 to 12 months.
The new C Class is expected to be much sportier and no longer just a downsized S Class, but a more modern Benz which hopes to gain the attention of younger and less conservative buyers.
The rear-wheel-drive sedan will be the first powered with KDI EVT (electronic valve train without camshaft, supercharged, direct-injection) engines, and will incorporate other new technologies including the third-generation 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
But as independent and modern as the new C Class looks, it will be sharing even more component-wise with E and S Class models.
