最近谍照记者拍到了正在测试的奔驰C63轿车的改款车型。这辆轿车与轿跑车版本一样采用了卤族前大灯，这是典型的入门级车型配置。不过，卤族大灯不会出现在最终量产版上，新车仍将提供新的LED前大灯和尾灯组。外观上其他显著变化包括重新设计的前保险杠集成了改款进气口，略微改款后保险杠，或许还有新的更突出散热器格栅（造型风格类似GLC63/GLC63轿跑车）。这次没有拍到内装照片，但早期谍照显示，车厢内配备升级版信息娱乐系统和新的触控板，方向盘也进行了重新设计。有报道称，该车将可选装两个全数字显示屏，但目前这一说法无法证实。目前还不清楚，老款车搭载的4.0升V8双涡轮引擎是否获得提升，但该引擎的功率和扭矩已经很强劲，因此很可能无需升级。目前的C63 S功率为375千瓦/503马力，而标准版C63功率为345千瓦/463马力。坊间传言，奔驰将于今年底或明年初发布2018款C级，而AMG轿车很可能与标准版轿车和旅行车同时发布。
Mercedes-AMG C63 Sedan Facelift Spied Testing With Halogen Lamps
Mercedes-Benz keeps working on the facelifted C-Class family and this time our photographers have managed to capture the C63 sedan during a road test.
Interestingly, just like its two-door brother, this C63 sedan prototype features halogen headlights, which are typically available for entry-level variants in the premium sector. Of course, don’t expect to see them in the final production C63 facelift, which will be equipped with new LED headlamps and taillights.
Other notable visual changes for the model will be the redesigned front bumper that will receive reshaped air intakes, the slightly revised rear bumper, and, probably, a new and more prominent radiator grille in GLC63/GLC63 Coupe style.
No interior images are available so far, but earlier spy photos have revealed the infotainment system of the C-Class will be updated and will be controlled by a new touchpad, while the steering wheel will be redesigned. Also, some reports suggest the mid-cycle refresh for the vehicle, including the range-topping C63, could bring a dual all-digital screen setup as an option, but that remains to be confirmed.
At this point it’s not clear whether the 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine of the vehicle will get any improvements, but the fact that it already offers plenty of power and torque makes us believe it will be left untouched. Just as a reminder, the top S version delivers 503 horsepower (375 kilowatts), while the standard C63 comes with 463 hp (345 kW).
Word on the street says Mercedes will reveal the facelifted C-Class family before the year’s end or in early 2018, and the AMG sedan variant is likely to be presented alongside the regular sedan and station wagon.
