Comparison: 2021 vs. 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

A Fresh Look

When looking at the 2022 Mercedes-Benz head on, you'll notice the headlights are now a stretched, teardrop shape with an upper LED light bar. The nose features power domes on the hood, and an A-shaped grille with a stardust mesh pattern.

From the back, you'll see the tail lights are slimmer and more triangular than before; plus, they have different LED designs. The exhaust outlets are more rectangular and there is no longer a trim piece mounted beneath the badge.

Bold Steering

Drivers of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class grip a steering wheel with a bolder, center badge and twin-side-spoke design.

Say "Hey" To New Technology

With the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, driver and passengers interact with the standard 11.9" touchscreen media display, 12.3" digital instrument cluster and the latest generation of MBUX (NTG 7), including "Hey Mercedes."

Listen Closely

With it being the latest generation of MBUX (NTG 7), "Hey Mercedes" has expanded its horizons - listening even more carefully and understanding occupants even better. You'll find "Hey Mercedes" explains functions and how it is no longer necessary for particular applications. For example, simply say "Accept call" when there is an incoming call.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist

Adaptive Highbeam Assist is standard on the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and you’ll find:

• Automatic on/off highbeam headlamps
• Camera on the inside of the windshield
• Detects and illuminates oncoming vehicles and vehicles traveling ahead
• Press steering wheel control lever to highbeam setting to turn on

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting is standard. Driver and passenger will enjoy 64 static colors to select from, variable brightness settings, 10 colors moods with static or multicolor animated color sequences and three dimming zones (all, ambient and accent).

There is also enhanced ambient lighting, included with Pinnacle Trim and Exclusive Trim, and offers 64 static colors to select from, variable brightness settings, 10 colors moods with static or multicolor animated color sequences, four dimming zones (all, direct, ambient and accent) and additional ambient lighting along the trim, center console, door panels and air vents.

Tune In

Burmester 3D Surround System with Sounds Personalization & Music Streaming is included with the Exclusive Trim. You'll enjoy an increase of 120 watts compared to the previous generation, 15 high-performance speakers matching the interior and each with its own amplifier channel, 2 broadband speakers in the front for 3D sound, frontbass technology with subwoofers integrated into the body shell, sound optimisation for the front, rear or all seats and 2 sound presets.
