The series features all new design elements consisting of more expressive and dynamic contours and a fresh new radiator grille.

Restyled headlamps

The central air intake opens out upwards in a V-shape, forming a visual base unit for the radiator grille. Beneath the headlamps, sections blend into the feature lines along the vehicle flanks, linking the front section with the sides.

The cocpit

The side air inlets in the bumper are now positioned low down, giving the car a more road-hugging appearance.

C Class Estate
The headlights have been modified to create a livelier and firm impression. They act together with the bonnet, radiator grille and bumper to emphasise the V-shape of the front section.
