This is exactly what I'd like to know as well. I was going to get the 2017 C63S coupe a couple of months ago, but I decided to wait since we're so close to MY2018. I really want the interior upgrades (dash, steering wheel, new controller, and possibly apple car play).

But I'm confused because so far, I've only heard of the "sedan facelift". I can't imagine Mercedes would sell an outdated coupe alongside an upgraded sedan...so it makes sense they would add the upgrades to the coupe as well. But I'd like to know for sure if someone has confirmation of the upgrades coming to the coupe. Thanks!

Nothing new is coming for 2018 except late availability of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The only other changes are reorganization of the option packages and a few very minor features being standard now. Early 2018 builds are already at the port in the US waiting release from MB.

^^^^^^ THIS!!!!! LMFAO

auditoamg

YES, they would.
At least in the AMG series.
That was what happened this last time around, I believe.
It was the W204 AMG until way later in the regular models year....

Ah crap...well thanks for the info auditoamg and gordon. That's pretty disappointing. I guess I'm going to have to think about waiting till next summer then...but damn that's a long wait....

But it would probably really suck to buy the car this fall and then feel crappy when they upgrade it just under a year later!

This is my dilemma, mine is due in 10days and I can't wait to get it, but it will be horrid if in Jan they announce the facelift. The dealer is quite sympathetic and said i can apply my deposit to the new model if i would like to.

What about a mid model year facelift? I've seen that before with manufacturers....

No major changes are being made for 2018 MY. You'd be waiting over a year for the changes, at minimum.

Mikey_boy

Somewhere on here a spec sheet for MY2018 was posted. I think one nice addition was a data logger built into the car. Other than that, it was all the same.

That is unless they blindside with a mid MY change.

I got a confirmed 9/1 built date on my coupe. Any chance of that having apple car play?

C63s4Lyfe

According to the information I've read, you have to have a build date in September for Carplay. But it can be retrofitted as well.

Mikey_boy

From my understanding, apple car play is ONLY if you don't get the multimedia package. So check that too.

C63s4Lyfe

Good point. This also rubbed me the wrong way...you gotta give up the upgraded screen...so basically, you can't have the 12 inch screen if you want Carplay. Who made that idiotic decision at Mercedes?

Mikey_boy

I'm with you there. Both my Yukon and Honda Civic (with all the multimedia upgrades) have carplay.

Don't ever use them though haha. My wife has called me a few time when plugging her iphone into the usb and carplay comes up about ready to go Office Space on the infotainment haha!

koifysh

I got the multimedia package for that bigger screen. Makes no sense that apple car play is not available on the bigger screen.. its as if mercedes don't want to put apple car play on the c class until the facelift

I think they want to get it to work, they just haven't figured out how to do it with the current hardware. If it was just a matter of updated software, I can't see why they wouldn't include it. It sounds like it will take revised hardware as well.

In reality Apple Car Play is pretty ordinary anyway, you have to be plugged in to use it and usually cant use the vehicles native features at the same time. By the time Car Play is good, it wont be compatible with these cars anyway.

Agreed. Car play is used as a substitute for the actually system in place.

You shouldn't want to use it over the vehicles technology unless you didn't spec to have those native features on your build.

What are you asking?

Ok Merc finally updated their C63s sedan page for the 2018 model. And I don't see any of the upgrades mentioned in this thread or elsewhere on the internet...no 12 inch screen...no upgraded dash or steering wheel controls...

https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehic...-C/model-C63WS

So...no facelift or interior upgrades at all for 2018, even for the 2018 sedan?? Very odd.... Now I'm wondering where "Uga Uga" got those pictures he posted...

did you not read the thread? We would have known about these changes, for a fact, way sooner than when 2018's started shipping.

The earliest we will see these upgrades are mid year refresh, or for 2019.

AlexZTuned

Yep. MY2019 Sedans will probably have a facelift, Coupe's will probably be a little later since it launched 2 years after the Sedan.

I guess I'm in the minority here. I prefer the current setup with dual analog gauges over the widescreen MFDs in the E/S class. It's one of my favorite features of the AMG interior. I also don't mind the floating iPad screen since it keeps the integrity and natural flow of the contour line of the leather dashboard while keeping the screen high in visual range.

Mikey_boy

Also noticed price went up a little. Total build for a 2018 is almost $1100 more than my 2017 build last October.
