奔驰正在开发C级改款车，最近谍照记者拍到了AMG版本的灰色C43和黑色C63轿跑车照片。这次记者只拍到了外装照片，从照片看，新车外观改变很细微。其中C43采用了改款前脸，包括边缘进气口新的边框。而在C63上，新车这部分尺寸比现行版略大一些。这两辆测试车的格栅都进行了伪装，改款车格栅内似乎都像其他现行版AMG车型一样变成竖条。升级版LED前大灯看起来也是取自最新款E级车。新车后保险杠也进行了伪装，表明这部分也获得升级。C43采用了分立两侧的圆形排气尾管，不过这似乎只是临时装上去进行测试用的。而C63则是四个方形排气尾管，这很可能是最终设计。先前拍到的C级改款车内装显示，新车采用了新的信息娱乐系统，中控台触控显示屏可以集成更多功能。另外方向盘也进行了改款。目前新车动力系统还是个迷。但C43铁定将换装直列六缸引擎，而C63则搭载4.0升V8双涡轮引擎。另外据传奔驰还将推出一款C63 R作为顶级款。预计C级改款车将于明年上市，但具体日期还不清楚。奔驰有可能会在今年底就发布新款C级技术细节。
Refreshed Mercedes-AMG C43 and C63 Coupes Spied Testing
A refresh for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is on the way, and new spy shots let us see the status of these updates for the AMG versions on a gray C43 Coupe and black C63 Coupe.
These photos only let us see the exterior, and the changes appear fairly minor. The C43 features a revised front fascia with new strakes in the corner intakes. The same pieces on the C63 appear slightly larger than on the current vehicle. Both of these test mules have concealed grilles, and it seems likely that the refresh would include a switch to vertical slats like other current AMG models. Updated LED headlights also look like the parts on the latest E-Class. Mercedes conceals the rear bumper on both vehicles, suggesting updates for them. The C43 here wears a pair of circular exhaust pipes coming from each corner, but they appear to be provisional parts for testing. The ones on the C63 have a squared-off shape, which is likely the final design.
Previous spy photos of the refreshed C-Class reveals that the model has a new infotainment system. A touchpad on the center console now acts as the controller. There’s also a revised steering wheel. Powertrain upgrades are a mystery at the moment. The C43 could conceivably move to an inline six, but the 4.0-liter biturbo V8 would likely remain under the C63's hood. Rumors even suggest the possibility of a hardcore C63 R that would act as the hardcore range topper in the lineup.
Look for the refreshed C-Class to be on sale next year, but the date for the actual reveal is still a mystery. There’s even a possibility that Mercedes could release the full details about the updated sedan before the end of 2017.
