From the outside, the
changes in
2012 C-Class, so less casual observers
might not
even notice. The only other change is
slightly lower rear
bumper, revised taillights, and more
modern wheels. When you get into the new
C-Class, it's a completely different story, as
Mercedes-Benz designers rethought the
entire interior.
While these touches give the new C-Class a decidedly more upscale feel than the outgoing car, the biggest improvement is that both pop-up navigation system. Each offered the engine is now equipped with direct injection and Mercedes' seven-speed automatic transmission with revised gear ratios for better fuel economy.
