Mercedes' interior department is doing a fantastic job, with its amazing glossy screens, sporty steering wheels, and fancy materials. However, the exterior department seems to be slacking off. So we decided to give them some inspiration.
Their new design language started well with the A-Class and 3rd-generation CLS-Class. However, the SUVs have started to look questionable, and all the sedans will have the same shape in a few years.
The future is a scary place to think of, but when it comes to cars, very few of those far-fetched ideas came true. We don't take jets to work, and all automobiles still require four rubber tires, have mirrors and most of them use engines.
Likewise, the C-Class will probably still exist in 2030. According to our basic math, that's roughly when the next, next generation comes out. The W206 should be ready by next year and might stay in production for another eight. We've already lost a lot of interest in this model and the segment in general, but the sketch created by Giorgi Tedoradze gives us hope for the future.
His C-Class is a bit Tesla-like, with arched lines and flush bodywork. It's also quite sporty, reminding us that at one point Mercedes wanted a CLC-Class four-door coupe to compete against the A5 Sportback.
These sketches appear drawn on an iPad yet have a certain crispness to them. Our favorite feature has to be the lights. While the 2022 C-Class will have long taillights like every other new Mercedes, Giorgi's sketches show narrower adaptations of the older designs, the ones so many fans of the brand like.
We really don't know what the future brings for the C-Class. Right now, Mercedes is developing EV models in many niches, and we might end up with an EQC sedan. But as America has relaxed emissions targets, luxury automakers are probably going back to big internal combustion engines.
