Looks like it's coming in 2018 as a 2019 model.

How can they tell from those pictures.. the lights look exactly the same as the base lights now.. and the bumpers and grill are 100% covered..

Well they wouldn't cover them unless they were in-fact, different.

Difference looks minuscule though.

powerrrrr

It's probably like the facelift that the GLA got this year, I literally couldn't tell the difference until I put pictures side by side to compare them.

All I need is more power!

Given that the same body has been running for virtually 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 on the sedan, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw an LCI soon. The only thing I would really want is the digital cluster - spent some time in the newest E-class and fell in love with it.

Ugh. Halogens in the test mule.

5ilver-5urfer

Wait, you guys all don't have halogens!? *panic attack* I knew I should have checked that box! effffffffffff

Mbm6f

Haha. Switching to a car with Halogens after LED's/Xenons/Adaptive is such a bummer... don't even think to check on my Land Rover...

We got my wife's Murano with halogens and all I have to say is never again... I got my C43 with the non-adaptive LED's and they are nice although they are aimed to low.

What do you guys think, will the C get the E class dash? I personally don't, at the very least it will be an expensive option.

sean1.8t

Haha seriously! when I get in a car with crappy halogens I've been known to ask the driver if their lights are even on. Can't go back that's for sure.

It might be a very very pricey option but I doubt it as it requires an entirely new dash compared to the analog setup. I feel like MB has gotten a lot of flak from S class owners when they turned the E class interior into basically a clone of the S's.

I don't think they'll get away with putting that nice of an interior in the measly old C class. Which I agree, they have to keep them separated to a point.. But when they come out with some super fancy/technically advanced stuff for the newer gen S's down the road, then the screens will be able to trickle down to the C's.

You can buy LED retrofit kits for cheap these days.

It's a certainty that dash is coming to the C class -- this article from a couple of years ago showed a prototype.

Eclipse155

Not sure how that makes it a certainty as that thing looks cobbeld together and it was 2 years ago. Who knows what they are going to do, plenty of things they test don't make it into producion.

Not to mention on the E300 that dash requires the premium 3 package ($11,250) and then another $850 for the panoramic screen itself. Strangely it's stock on the E43 which starts at $73,000.

If it comes to the C it wont be standard and its sure to be expensive.
