With a sharpened presence, enhanced comfort and a broad choice of electrified high-tech petrol and diesel engines as well as plug-in hybrid models, the new C‑Class is tailored to the needs of different customer lifestyles.

“The new C‑Class proves that continuity and innovation are not mutually exclusive. With its sporty elegance, electrified high-tech powertrains and intelligent support powered by MB.OS, it delivers what drivers truly need: proven reliability and innovative technology that creates real added value in everyday life. In this way, a familiar classic becomes a modern companion.” – Mathias Geisen, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Sales & Customer Experience
Since its introduction in 1982, the C‑Class has defined the midsize segment, with more than twelve million vehicles sold and a consistent pioneering role in innovation, design and driving character. The new C‑Class carries this success story forward with purpose: more digital, more refined and more agile than ever, it combines trusted continuity with a decisive step forward – “Welcome home”.
Since Carl Benz invented the automobile 140 years ago, Mercedes‑Benz has shaped automotive progress with innovative technologies – always guided by the clear purpose of making mobility simpler, safer and more comfortable for customers. By carrying this legacy forward, the new C‑Class further strengthens its pioneering role in the midsize segment.
