2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class spied

Spy images of the 2021 Mercedes C-Class have surfaced online for the first time. A heavily camouflaged car was spotted on public roads which is reported to be one of the early prototype models.

Overall shape of the car is similar to the current C-Class. The wing mirrors are in a new design and the C-pillar area appears different as well. At the front, the car gets headlights with some sensors embedded inside them. The front grille design is unknown, however the central black portion appears to be a radar for the various safety systems. The rear features temporary tail lights. On the interior, the new C-Class is expected to get an all-digital instrument cluster and smartphone connectivity options.

Reports suggest that the 2021 C-Class would use a modified MRA2 platform from the E-Class and is expected to be a rear wheel drive layout. Select variants might get an all-wheel drive option. A plug-in hybrid version is also expected. The conventional engines would include new-generation six-cylinder and turbocharged four-cylinder petrol and diesel units.

That said, it is not yet known when the German carmaker would unveil the car.
