最近谍照记者拍到了奔驰C级改款车照片。在外观上，新车外观经过渐进式改款后变得更漂亮。前脸仍保留三段式布局，但进气口更小，因此进气口中间的部分更粗壮。奔驰工程师完全遮盖了前格栅，但仍能看出新的格栅比老款车更大一些。据报道，即便是入门级的C级改款车也将提供LED前大灯。而奔驰还将为高端版本提供更多高科技装备。新车的车尾也进行了改款，新的尾灯组更具棱角，后保险杠也更时尚，但钻石形排气尾管则取自现行版C300。C级改款车内装最大变化是内装，奔驰拿掉了现行版COMAND信息娱乐系统的圆形控制键而采用新的触控板。更早的谍照还显示，仪表板和方向盘也进行了改款。至于动力系统，奔驰可能会为其提供新的M264 2.0升涡四缸涡轮引擎，它配备了48伏起动交流发电机和48伏水泵。而高端版本则提供直列六缸引擎以替代现行版V6引擎。新款C级很可能会在9月的法兰克福车展亮相，随后将于年底上市。

Refreshed Mercedes-Benz C-Class Spied Revealing Its New Cabin

Mercedes-Benz prepares to give the C-Class a facelift in these spy shots of the upcoming refreshed model.

For the exterior, the tweaks amount to a handsome evolution of the current model’s looks. The front fascia retains its three-section layout, but the inlets are smaller, which allows for thicker uprights between them. Mercedes’ engineers completely hide the grille here, but photos make it look a little larger than on the current vehicle.

Even base models of the refreshed C-Class will reportedly come with standard LED headlights. Mercedes will load on even more sophisticated lighting on higher trim variants.The rest of the aesthetic changes are at the rear. Covers over the taillights indicate that the sedan has new parts, and they look somewhat more angular than the existing versions. The camouflage on the bumper hides the styling adjustments, but the diamond-shaped exhaust outlets match the parts on the current C300.

The refreshed C-Class’ biggest change is on the inside where Mercedes drops the existing rotary controller for the COMAND infotainment system in favor of a new touchpad. Earlier spy shots also reveal revisions to the instrument panel and steering wheel, too.

Under the hood, Mercedes might install its new M 264 turbocharged 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that features a 48-volt starter-alternator and 48-volt water pump. The company’s new inline-six could arrive in higher trims as a replacement for the existing V6.

September’s Frankfurt Motor Show could be Mercedes chance to debut the revised C-Class, and this could allow sales to begin before the end of the year, particularly in Europe.
