In 2021, Mercedes-Benz introduced the fifth-generation for one of its best-selling ranges, the C-Class, and pushed forward the company's electrification process.

Mercedes-Benz introduced in 2018 a mid-life cycle refresh for its best-selling model from those times, the C-Class W205, adding more value to an already appreciated car.

Longer, lighter, and more luxurious than its predecessor, the W205 C-Class was introduced in 2014, and it was a gamechanger in the compact premium market.

Mercedes-Benz refreshed the entire C-Class lineup in 2011, and the difference was not subtle at all, with a completely redesigned front fascia.

The third generation of the C-Class debuted at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show and it showed a new design for the entire range, in the same style with its bigger brothers, the E-Class and the S-Class.

Mercedes-Benz upgraded the first generation of the C-Class at the end of 1996 for the 1997 model year, bringing not just some styling updates but also better engines.

In 1993, Mercedes-Benz changed the designation name for its compact-class lineup. The successful 190 model had to retire and the new C-Class was shown. And it was a big success.

Mercedes-Benz was known for its luxury cars, and that’s why the German automaker took everyone by surprise in 1982 when it unveiled the small-sized sedan 190 at the Paris Motor Show in France.
