The Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupé range will be updated next year when it is lightly facelifted and gains a new diesel engine option.
Spotted testing on the continent, development cars show that the modifications will be focused on the car's bumpers, with some changes to its daytime running lights as well.
A new grille with two horizontal bars, as opposed to the current car’s single-bar design, can also be seen. Behind these, a less visible black grille replaces the current car’s silver-accented one.
Inside, the same changes that will be applied to the facelifted C-Class saloon, which is due this year, are expected for the coupé. They include a new touchpad, borrowed from the updated S-Class, a new steering wheel and a redesigned instrument panel.
Like the facelifted saloon, the coupé will also swap the incumbent 2.1-litre diesel engine of current C 220 d and C 250 d models for a new 2.0-litre unit. However, the 2.0-litre petrol engine that’s used in the C 200 and C 300 will remain.

Imagine
And getting the job at Mercedes to design a grille with 2 horizontal bars instead of one. How could you get up and go to work in the morning?
