So I saw these pictures and couple of things will change. Dual display screen, headlights and engines.
Headlights of E class are kind of tradition imo

Not a fan of this "Digital Dashboard"...I actually like the look of the current 8.4" display tacked-up on the center dash instead.

Welcome to the new C Class for 2017 - No expense and effort have been spared in our search to find the world's ugliest LCD screens. Special effort has also been put in to manufacture the largest bezels ever to be seen in an automotive display, giving you more useless black area and sun-reflective surface than ever before. We have gone to considerable lengths to avoid the introduction of unproven technologies such as OLED or curved displays in order to give you the flattest, fattest, ugliest looking dashboard to date. Enjoy

I really wish they would go the Audi route with a gauge pod full color display and a hide away center screen. Most of the current t controls are available with switches anyway. I just don't t understand the need for a big center screen. An interactive gauge pod is all anyone needs. No one else in the car matters except me.





The new TT doesn't even have a screen in the center. The climate temp and switches are hidden in the center vents and everything is available in different layout right above the wheel.
Perfection.

I don't think the facelift will have a double led eyebrows. I believe the single will be for C, double for E and triple for S.

Pretty sure the photo that is photoshopped into that video is an E-Class test mule, at first they were testing the E in stretched C bodies. Pics of the C with those screens came out over 2 years ago, and they were just E mules.

The fact that you even bothered to theorize on a test mule, which are known to use faux bodywork/lights, as if it's going to just transplant e-class headlights make this a fail video.

Those photos are not even remotely new.

Mercedes test all this stuff out all the time, I don't see the dual screen tech showing up next year in the C at all.

I like the screen as it is now, but it's more special with the large displays. Eyes need to gets used to it first... full nterior looks amazing in the video :o

For the interior, it's probably going to look like the E but either with a smaller screen or screen extended a bit into the passenger side.

I like how it looks right now. I'm not sure if they can probably shrink E interior into a C class but I guess we won't know until 2018.
