Also there's a small price increase which I think is included in the latest price list, dated 1st April, available on the UK Mercedes website. NB I'm only working on hearsay which could be wrong or incomplete.

As of now, the new C-Class model 2016 (Code 806) is available for purchase at the dealership. What's that about was trying to decipher this article here.

No sooner is the new Mercedes C-Class than a year on the market - more precisely since April 2014 - there are already small modifications in the current series.
Do not worry, it is not, this is a facelift (at Mercedes as MOPF = model refinement known), but more to improvements and cost savings during the life of Denden series. This is the second model year change within the BR 205!

Announced at the last change, with code 805 (2015 model year), there were additions to the customer, such as the remote to use online communication module to provide the services of "connect me", COMAND, has been slightly modified and changed his name to NTG 5.5, further it was from this time last the night package (P55) and the Model T (S205 ).

New Engines

This time a lot has happened more because there is next to new engines or vehicle types and smaller optical revision and adjustments of Yamaha.
New activities include the following types:

C220D 4MATIC (Model 205005/205205)
C160 (Model 205044/205244)
C200 4MATIC (Model 205043/205243)
C300 (Model 205048/205248)
C450 4MATIC AMG Sport (Model 205064/205264)

Where exactly the type "C160" an exceptional position within the portfolio of the new C-Class, he is more of the desire of many fleet operators for an inexpensive entry-level model. This type is also available exclusively without 7G-tronic automatic transmission and might later be rarely found in private hands!
At the other end of the normal portfolio, the "C450 AMG" is a special place - analogously to a normal C-Class, but completely turned upside down by the AMG experts.

Specification Changes

In the case of equipment changes unfortunately look even some Mercedes-seller not remember exactly by how isolated hears the internet and who likes blame them. This time someone has very gewältig bolted to the price list or combinations.
The Background?
It reveals itself not so real and can be answered on the other side only with production simplifications on the one hand and profit maximization, because from now on, customers need to order more to get the same equipment can. Some Examples:
• to footwell lights in the rear, a cupholder lighting front and on the rear doors Signalwarn- / exit lights you have to order from now on the ambient lighting (877) to obtain.
• Pompadour bags and front passenger foot net will henceforth be supplied only with the storage package (30P)
• The touch pad (448) is now at a 20 Audio SA and no longer as standard
• The chrome tailpipes (B16) are the petrol now until C300 as standard

However, there are also some new ones - have long desired - Special equipment from which the customer can choose now:
• chrome tailpipes (B16) for 4-cylinder petrol engine in conjunction with avant-garde and EXCLUSIVE-conformation (P15 and P23)
• Adaptive Highbeam Assist (608) is now available in conjunction with LED high-performance headlamps (632)
• garnish Ash Brown open-pore (H09) is now also available for avant-garde and AMG Interior (P14 and P29)
• Multi-function steering wheel heated (443) Available in black - with selector AMG Line Interior (P29), we obtain the steering wheel from the AVANTGARDE line Interior (P14)

Design Changes

In addition to these changes, there are also minor design changes both in the interior and the exterior and area.

Outside immediately drop the new LED turn signals on the side mirrors, they are no longer chrome but kept in gloss black. This may be for one or another viewer look less valent, for my part, I think it's sportier and more to the design of the BR 205 match.
Next eliminates the double chrome trim in the bumper of the sedan at the AVANTGARDE line (P15), and the chrome trim on the side of the rear bumper.
In the Line EXCLUSIVE (P23) the Airpanel (5U3) is now executed in dark Selenitgrau.

In the interior there are in the standard equipment with piano paint faux recently completely black air vents without metal coating. The former AGILITY SELECT said switch means from now DYNAMIC SELECT (B59).
In addition, the graphics in the instrument cluster display are modified a little, and the overall Head Unit (the center console display). More details will be experienced here in the coming weeks!

Another major change is the new nomenclature of propulsion:

• "d" for "diesel" (previously BlueTEC and CDI)
• "e" for "electric" (previously PLUG-IN HYBRID, BlueTEC PLUG-IN HYBRID and Electric Drive)
• "h" for "hybrid" (previously HYBRID and BlueTEC HYBRID)

The vehicles of the new model year will roll from the beginning of June 2015, Bremen production plant. Customers whose vehicles fall into the current transitional period, be treated generously and get a free part more facilities to deliver at least the old standard production status. This affects all of 07/04/2015 ordered W / S 205 to be delivered until June!

To conclude, there still quite new pictures by a decrease with vessels of the new model year - You can identify The new exterior mirrors turn signal, and the new model designation on the boot lid.

Increased ambient light colours
9g auto
Improved 2.0 diesel engine (noise)
Night package

Maybe these are being saved for the facelift
