Mercedes takes a new approach with 2022 C-Class trims Chris Davies - May 25, 2021, 8:00am CDT Mercedes is trying to make buying a new 2022 C-Class a little easier, splitting the upcoming luxury sedan into a trio of trim lines to leave the decision process simpler. Headed to the US in the first half of 2022, the new C-Class – which was revealed earlier this year – will come in three main trims: Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle. Traditionally, specifying a configuration for a new Mercedes-Benz has been a fairly time-consuming affair. Although the automaker does have some packages which bundle options together, the long list of individual extras means the potential for customization is high.
