Rendered: 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206 – Ageing Mercedes needs an urgent update 01

Based on photographs of a camouflaged 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206,we decided to have a go at peeling back the camo digitally. Following the body lines as closely as we could, the rendering slowly unveiled itself to be a shrunken Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Mercedes-Benz cars have always adopted a familial look and cars from the smaller segment take styling cues from the larger segment. 2021 will see the W206 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, a much needed update for the 2014 W205 C-Class.

An unmasked 2021 Mercedes-Benz C Class was spotted sometime in September and the car, but it  looked a little bit roundish.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is well camouflaged – the red tapes on the rear of the car make the taillights look like that of the current model. We decided to give it the horizontal taillights that are more similar to Mercedes-Benz S Class and Mercedes-Benz CLA.

The grill is expected to adopt a more diamond-like shape and the headlights squint more. We threw in some AMG wheels for the fun of it and made the feature lines a little bit more prominent.

What are your thoughts on the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C Class W206?
