Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the facelifted C-Class with refreshed styling, updated technology and revised powertrains.

The sedan gets a larger illuminated grille, redesigned LED headlamps with star-shaped daytime running lights and updated wraparound taillights featuring star-shaped LEDs. Dual exhausts complete the revised exterior.

Inside, the existing dashboard layout is retained, with a portrait-oriented 12.3-inch touchscreen now running Mercedes-Benz's latest MB.OS software. The system includes a virtual assistant using ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Microsoft Bing AI, along with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a head-up display and Level 2 ADAS.

Powertrain options include 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines with a second-generation 48V mild-hybrid system. A plug-in hybrid variant combines a 100kW electric motor with a 19.53kWh battery.

The C-Class also gets a retuned suspension, while all-wheel drive and rear-axle steering are available as options.
