2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
We are definitely years away from the release of the 2014 C-Class. However, we present you these pictures for your viewing pleasure. The next generation C-Class sedan is very reminiscent of the current CLS, infused with the style of the F800 concept car. The wagon looks very sporty and not just for “Soccer Moms”.
Mercedes stated that the style of the upcoming models would be influenced by the F800 concept car. The said design has more beautiful flowing lines and by the looks of it, very aerodynamic.
We still have limited knowledge about the new C, but we are sure that there will be a diesel-electric hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. A high performance AMG model is also expected to be released.
Speaking of hybrids, the plug-in hybrid model has a 300 horsepower gasoline V6 mated to an electric motor that churns 109 horsepower and runs on lithium-ion batteries. It is expected to be as high as 81 mpg. The C could also be powered by a 3 cylinder power plant. This would also be a first for the C. The C-Class’ arch rival, the BMW 3 series, may also release a 3 cylinder powered variant for their next generation. According to Mercedes-Benz, the new C-Class will be at the production line of their Bremen and Tuscaloosa plant in Alabama.
