First shots of new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe leaked!

These are the first leaked photos of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, which will replace the CLC-Class. The CLC-Class might have had a new name but it was in fact a reskinned last generation C-Class Coupe updated to look similar to the W204.

Though it shares a somewhat similar “half moon” roofline to the CLC-Class, the profile of the new C-Class Coupe is much more coupe-like thanks to a more substantial boot while the CLC-Class was more of a hatchback. The front of the new C-Class Coupe is similar to the new W204 facelift but the rest of the body is unique.

The interior is also inspired by the new W204 facelift, but we can only see the front passenger area for now – perhaps the rear will feature two individual seats rather than a single bench? You’ll also notice that the C-Class Coupe has to make do with having a B-pillar, something that Merc coupes traditionally do not have.

      No,I beg to differ.This is too simple and similar to the C-Class,while the E-Class Coupe looks super sexy as opposed to the E Sedan.

        Due to safety.

        Convertibles have pop out rear roll bars and reinforced front frames.

        Coupes have the B pillar for strength since they do not have reinforced front windshield frames….unless of course they have designed the coupes to have convertible variants.

      There is no convertible model, hence the B pillar. Coupes with convertible varients typically have frameless windows and sometimes no B pillars.

      Only exception I can think off is the Golf cabrio, a convertible with a basket handle.

  • No surprise there since not much change from previous model. You cover all the available indications, many people will still recognize it as Merc.

    But still, a handsome and attractive car.

    I’m liking this much better than the old C-Coupe, which was quite the disaster for Mercedes.

    I’d sampled the C230K when it first launched and came out….quite dissapointed with it as compared to the compeating BMW 325/328is which it was postitioned against. Handling was softer, steering was a little bit uncommunicative and the 6 speed gear stick seems connected with rubberbands. The looks were a little uninspired, “premium hatchback” really never caught on…same fate with the BMW 318ti hatch.

    With BMW moving away from a more focused sports machine with the larger E90/92, this new model seems to be much closer to its competition than the pervious one ever was.

    Knowing Mercedes…. the real silver lining is the AMG C36 coupe. Can’t wait to drive that one….

    Frm rear 3 quarter view it looks a lot like an accord coupe.
    I don’t mind having one though.
