AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/21 Report--

As Mercedes-Benz has ushered in a major replacement of its product models, both the E-Class and S-Class of Mercedes-Benz have been released and launched, while the new C-Class of Mercedes-Benz is still in a state of mystery before the release, such as the official release of only a small number of detailed drawings. As the release time on the 23rd is getting closer and closer, the trailer of Mercedes-Benz C has been exposed recently.

As the previous Mercedes-Benz C-Class exposure image is still in a small camouflage, can not show the overall effect of the new car, but according to the exposure of Mercedes-Benz official a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class car trailer short film, the appearance of the new car has been fully displayed. According to previous official news, the new car will be officially launched at 14:00 central European time on February 23 (20:00 Beijing time on February 23).

As can be seen from the short film, the new car uses a new design language. in addition to the front and rear parts of the body that are closer to the new family design, the interior also uses a more scientific and technological design style similar to the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class car. Specifically, the headlamp outline of the front face of the new car continues the new generation of S-class style, while the forward air grille is transformed into an oval design with trigeminal star logo elements.

Although the overall change of the side part compared with the cash model is not obvious, because this is a replacement model, the new car has also been adjusted and its waistline has been redesigned to highlight the sense of strength. In terms of size, foreign media revealed that the length of the car body may be increased by 65mm, and the wheelbase by 30mm.

The rear part also adopts the design of the family car, adjusting the original wide rear lights to longer and slender, which is basically similar to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, or even a reduced Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

As for the interior is undoubtedly the biggest change in this new car, according to the trailer, the new car will be equipped with a 12.3-inch dashboard and 12.8-inch central touch screen, and the three-frame steering wheel will adopt a new family-oriented design. The overall texture is significantly higher than that of the current model, except that the air conditioning outlet is similar to the Mercedes-Benz S-class.

Power. Mercedes-Benz officials say the new C-Class will be the first car in the company's history to be electrified. According to a previously exposed power chart, the new C-Class will provide three gasoline and three diesel powertrains, all of which will provide 20 horsepower starting motors. In terms of power parameters, the maximum power of the gasoline version C300 is 258 horsepower, while that of the diesel version C300d is 265 horsepower. More relevant data need to be revealed at the new C-level global launch on February 23.

At the beginning, the new S-Class of Mercedes-Benz encountered a lot of questions from the outside world, but with the launch of the new car, the S-Class of Mercedes-Benz seems to reflect the "law of true fragrance". Today, the overall changes in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class have adopted a family-style design, which may boost sales of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. After all, the design that is homogeneous with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class may give consumers a way to buy the C-Class, just like the E-Class and S-Class. This may be good for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but for the E-Class and S-Class, it may be mistaken for the C-Class.

Due to the current Mercedes-Benz C-Class is facing a replacement, the discount is also larger, helping to increase the sales of the model. Figures show that Beijing Mercedes-Benz sold 614500 vehicles in 2020, up 9.8 per cent from a year earlier. Among them, Mercedes-Benz C-Class sales were 153100, down 3.8% from a year earlier, leading Audi A4 but slightly lower than BMW 3-Series.
