In 2015, at the Frankfurt Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz unveiled its C-Class coupe. It replaced both the CLC, which was more like a three-door premium hatchback. The streamlined design, with frameless doors, made the car look like a convertible with hard-top. The high, ascending, beltline inspires force and performance. Its suspension was lowered by 15 mm (0.6”) compared to the sedan version. For a sportier look, it featured standard 17” light-alloy wheels and 19” as an option.

Mercedes-Benz decided to cut the 3-door hatchback CLC from its lineup and built a proper C-Class coupe.
