Pictures of the car released this week, in advance of its debut at the Detroit International Auto Show in January, show a much more stylish car than the current version, which is the brand's best-selling car on a global basis.
The new C-Class will be 100kg lighter than the current model, thanks to the use of aluminium in 50 percent of its structure.
In line with trends in the new S-Class and the revised E-Class launched this year, the new car will offer a wide range of driver assistance technologies.
