2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206 – What we Know so Far - autoevolution
No matter how awesome or undesirable the new C-Class might look for some people, Mercedes-Benz has never made a sedan that was universally panned for its design. The abrupt switch from mostly analog buttons to a massive touch screen on the center console is bound to upset a lot of people, but Mercedes-Benz couldn't leave this trend go by even though they're a little late to the party. Plus, the S-Class W223 will have one also, and the C-Class has always been a mini-Sonderklasse for the Swabians. Well, so it happens that the C-Class W206 will start from a clean sheet in this department, despite its platform being an evolution of the current MRA (Modular Rear-wheel-drive Architecture). Unfortunately, the lower weight of the body will be negated by the increased dimensions and extra tech, so we might not see an actually lighter C-Class next year.
