2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Rendering Shows the AMG Line Look

The global car market has undoubtedly begun to shrink. However, sales of sedans have at least stopped losing traction to SUVs, and Mercedes-Benz is close to launching a rival for that pesky new BMW 3 Series that keeps dominating its segment.

2022 Mercedes C-Class Rendering Shows the AMG Line Look
The current C-Class feels much older than its years. You need to be a hardcore fan of the Benz badge to justify having that old-school interior in a car you just ordered. Thankfully, a successor is expected to bring fresh tech for the 2022 model year.

We are talking about the W206 generation, which we hope will revive the segment and make luxury German sedans cool again. It's been testing for quite some time, and frankly, we're not that impressed with the design of the regular versions. However, the AMG Line package could be just what's needed, if we're to believe the accuracy of this latest rendering from the Russian website Kolesa.

AMG Line is a fancy way of saying you want all the looks with none of the performance. The car equivalent of a beauty filter is applied by most of the world's automakers, and Mercedes's packages are some of the most expensive out there. However, AMG Line can be bought much more cheaply on the C-Class than on the S-Class through special deals.

The new design language is abundantly evident here, as the baby RWD Benz sports a minimalist, almost Tesla-like look. The AMG style gives you the aggressive yet fake intakes on the sides of the bumper, plus that sporty main grille. It's also possible that without this kit you won't even have fake exhaust tips at the back, just a smooth bumper.

It's likely that due to new emissions regulations, the 2022 C-Class will boast nothing but four-cylinder turbo engines in Europe. Even the C 63's mighty 4-liter V8 was rumored to be replaced by a hybrid version of the AMG A 45's mighty turbo-four at some point.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
