Several images of what the coming looks like 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and one of the AMG-tuned finishes leaked online before the car’s official debut. The photos reveal styling adjustments reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz CLS and a massive tablet screen instead of slides in front of the driver.
The Australian website Which car, as well as Auto Express and several other stores, show leaked images of the C-Class. The changes are minimal compared to the current car, at least on the outside.
The images of the white model on a red background look like it is a luxurious oriented finish. The new ape signatures of the Mercedes CLS and CLA sedan, which were also recently transferred to the E-Class and S-Class sedan.
More photos of another model, probably the AMG-Line version of the sedan, were also allegedly leaked (via Which car). Some of the images were also shared by Twitter users OtsileJK. This unveils AMG’s now well-known gray engine formula, with slightly wider aerodynamic openings and sportier design treatment on the bumpers – though not much else. This is definitely just an update of the current generation C-Class.
The larger changes occur on the inside. The first thing I notice is the massive iPad-like tablet stuck between the top of the dashboard and the steering wheel. This screen replaces the previous digital display group, which, we would say, is better integrated into a harmonious interior design layout. This new screen looks like I could take it with me when I leave the car.

Images of the interior also show the apparent technology for heads-up and a pinstrip finish on the dashboard around a giant digital screen in the middle.
The sharp-angled taillights, high bending shoulder line and the new fascia seem to make the C-Class ironically stand out even less than the current car. I think the Mercedes design approach is now just the same taste in different sizes. We will have to see more of the car by the scheduled date, February 24th.
