The 2014 Mercedes C-Class (codenamed BR205) has been spotted during its first winter testing, and here are a few spy shots of the model. As you can see in these images, the pictured mule is wearing quite some heavy camouflage which makes it really difficult to see the lines of the new design, with the only exception of the roof. The model is expected do draw some inspiration from the F800 Concept Car showcased at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010, especially as far as its front end is concerned. Considering that the C-Class is probably the most important model for Mercedes-Benz, it seems unlikely that they will experiment too much with the design of the new model, but in order to compete with such cars as the Audi A4 and the 3-Series from BMW it will have to look dynamic and sporty.
The new C-Class will come with an engine range made of several petrol and diesel units, but it will also see the addition of a hybrid powertrain for the first time. The sedan version will be the first C-Class body-type to become available on the market in early 2014, followed by the wagon a few months later. The coupe and convertible version instead are supposed to debut in early 2015. Apparently, the new C-Class will be produced in the US as well: rumor has it that the Alabama plant will build the C-Class as well as the GL and M-Class.
