Facelifted Mercedes C-Class Spotted Ahead of 2027 Model Year With 282 HP C350
Photos from Auto Express and Car and Driver show a facelifted Mercedes C-Class with a new grille and headlights. The 2027 C350 gets a 2.0-liter turbo four that rises to 282 hp with overboost.
Photos of the facelifted Mercedes C-Class have surfaced in galleries published by Auto Express and Car and Driver. The images show the 2027 model year Mercedes-Benz C350 for the US market, inside and out, revealing new design details for the mid-size sedan. According to Car and Driver, the visual changes on the C350 do not apply to the C300.
Design changes on the facelifted C-Class
The front gets a more pronounced grille and headlights with a three-pointed star motif. The taillights use the same star pattern. Sources do not provide body dimensions or aerodynamic figures.
C350 engine and overboost
The C350 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 255 hp. A new overboost function raises that figure to 282 hp when it engages. Sources do not mention torque, acceleration or fuel consumption.
Car and Driver expects the C350 to start at around $55,000, roughly $1,500 more than the C300. The figure is the publication's estimate, not an official price.
New steering wheel and Dolby Atmos audio
The interior design stays largely the same as the C300. The changes are in the equipment: a new steering wheel, and the four-way touch-sensitive scroll controls are gone. The ambient lighting has been improved, and the sound system now supports Dolby Atmos.
Auto Express, which has published a 2026 gallery of the facelifted C-Class, previously reported that the new C-Class costs 5,000 pounds more than the BMW 3 Series in the UK and will not be offered with a diesel engine. The sources contain no information about Turkey.
