Mercedes has revealed its new generation C-Class in saloon and estate form, which it believes will thrill its customers during a digital premier.
For the first time in the C-Class, the instrumentation has been made fully digital. As standard, a floating 10.25-inch digital instrument panel is fitted, with a larger 12.3-inch screen available as an option.

The look of both screens can be customised with three distinct themes: discreet, sport and classic.
Head-up display technology is available, but not the new augmented reality HUD system found in the S-Class. Instead, augmented technology only applies to the navigation system, overlaying directional prompts on a live feed from a camera at the front of the car.
With all seats in place, there is a 490-litre luggage room behind the rear seats. Folding them flat opens up a 1,510-litre loading area.
Coupe or convertible versions of the C-Class will be available with this new-generation model.
Live music streaming
Live music streaming services have been added, allowing owners to link accounts to services such as Spotify directly to the car’s infotainment system. Songs can be requested via Hey Mercedes voice control.
The new C-Class is being launched with a four-cylinder engine exclusively across a line-up of 48-volt assisted petrol and diesel, plus plug-in hybrid options.
Petrol version of the new C-Class uses a new-generation 48-volt system. It has a new belt-driven starter-generator unit, delivering a 20bhp boost when required, and 200Nm of torque if necessary.
