Mercedes-Benz C-Class previewed in new video, images [w/Video]

Mercedes-Benz has given us the first look at its next-generation C-Class, the W205, in a new video and interior photos.

The images show the new model shares many design cues with the CLA-Class, such as the center stack, IP and steering wheel, while design cues from the S-Class include the COMAND system's control with added touchpad. The interior also features a heads-up display and an HVAC system called Air Balance.

All in all, the new images indicate a level of quality that's far superior to that of its predecessor. 

The video doesn't reveal too much of the C-Class' exterior, but we get a look at its front, which sports a similar grille to that of the redesigned E-Class. 

Check out the gallery and the video to the left for a closer look.
