Arriving in U.S. dealerships this spring, the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan pricing starts from $43,550, the OEM announced on Jan. 25.

The C-Class Sedan brings a range of high-tech features and refinements derived from the flagship S- Class. A new interior compliments the sporty exterior design and powerful and efficient electrified 4-cylinder engine, Mercedes-Benz said in the release.

The sedan will come in three trims for the U.S. market: Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle. In addition to standard features, each trim level includes five new paints and new upholstery options to fit customers' unique needs.

The interior of the C-Class features a freestanding 12.3" digital instrument panel and new large, portrait orientation 11.9" central touchscreen multimedia display, the latter which slightly tilts toward the driver by 6 degrees for a more driver-centered design and performance. The vehicle features the latest generation of MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience), bringing the C-Class technology on par with the flagship S-Class with learning-capable infotainment system with advanced Voice Control and individual profiles that can be activated by biometric authentication via the fingerprint sensor.

The all-new C-Class debuts a new turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an integrated starter generator and 48-volt mild hybrid technology — the first four-cylinder gasoline engine in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The electrified 2.0L 4-cylinder engine in the C 300 and C 300 4MATIC Sedan boasts effortless and efficient power and improved comfort and performance, according to the brand. With an output of 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, the C 300 models benefit from an increase of 22 lb-ft of torque compared to the predecessor. The 48V mild hybrid system provides a further 148 lb-ft of torque as well as up to an additional 20 hp for short periods for smooth acceleration and power delivery.
