29. MERCEDES C-CLASS

Price From £29,000 (est) On sale Late 2017

THE current W205 Mercedes C-class went on sale in 2014, and late this year a facelifted model will arrive in showrooms. While our spy shot reveals that the visual updates are set to be on the subtle side, it’s expected that a lot more will be going on in the cabin.

The C-class will get a revised dash and plenty of tech from the latest E-class. That includes the larger car’s twin TFT screens and touch-sensitive steering wheel controls. The engine range should see lower emissions and improved economy across the board.
