Mercedes Benz seems to be working on an all-new generation of the C-class sedan as it has recently been spied testing internationally under heavy camouflage. The current, forth generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-class has been around since 2014 and Mercedes gave a major facelift to the car in 2018. However, there seems to be a brand new next-gen Mercedes C-class around the corner.

The front end has been made sharper than before and its also flatter. The seamlessly blends with the long and sculpted bonnet. The newer Mercedes’ cars look much aggressive than before and its true for the new C-class as well. The aggression is well accentuated by the large grille and slimmer, angular lights. The windscreen seems to have more rake and the glasshouse also seems larger than before. At the rear, it will possibly get a stubby boot like the A-Class sedan, with a two-part tail lamp, like in most new Mercedes cars.
