2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet prototype spotted in Dubai

These are spy shots of the convertible version of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which should be revealed by the end of the year. The car is expected be called the C-Class Cabriolet, and will be offered alongside the yet-to-be-unveiled 2017 C-Class Coupe.

Interestingly enough, these photos were all taken in Dubai, and sent in by several of our readers. The 2017 C-Class Cabriolet prototype was spotted by Nabeal Malik on the streets, while Satinder Pal Singh caught it in a parking garage alongside two camouflaged Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class crossovers that were already unveiled recently, and Ahmed Shumayal found it at a petrol station hanging out with the aforementioned crossovers as well as what could be the next-generation E-Class.

You will probably see these prototypes soon enough, as Dubai is the hot-weather testing ground for Mercedes-Benz and several other carmakers. The actual two-door C-Class models should hit UAE and other GCC showrooms in a year or so.
