Mercedes C-Class Refresh Focuses on ICE, But Teases EV Design Convergence

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a refreshed C-Class, emphasizing updates to its internal combustion engine (ICE) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains to meet new Euro 7 emissions standards. While the redesign primarily targets gasoline and diesel models, it hints at a future where ICE and electric C-Class variants share more visual cues, a strategy also being adopted by BMW for its 3 Series and i3.
