Mercedes C-Class gets major design and tech overhaul for 2027
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been given a major update that is far more than just skin-deep, with the sedan and estate receiving significant design changes, new AI-powered cabin technology, and engine and chassis enhancements.
Due to reach South Africa in 2027, the reworked C-Class receives a significantly larger illuminated grille that brings it into line with the recently revealed electric version of the C-Class. Like its EV sibling, it also features star motifs in the headlights, while resculpted front and rear bumpers set it apart further.
The updated range also introduces new 18-inch and 19-inch wheel options, as well as two new exterior paint colours in the form of Lavender Silver and Moody Sky Grey.
The cabin retains its familiar architecture, including the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 11.9-inch vertical display, but the steering wheel has been given a fresh design and now sports physical rocker switches and volume rollers. Customers can also look forward to new upholstery colours, such as Beech Brown and Cherry Red, along with new trim choices.
But the technology has changed in a big way, with the updated C-Class featuring the fourth-generation MBUX interface and MB.OS operating system.
Here, the car’s ‘virtual assistant’ uses a combination of AI agents, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Microsoft Bing, to deliver a highly personalised, conversational and context-aware driving experience. The assistant can now also remember short-term context across a conversation.
