Currently, there is a heated discussion surrounding BMW’s reluctance to innovate, regardless of the expenses involved. Despite this, their popular 3 Series compact executive range continues to be highly regarded for its timeless design. The same can be said for the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, to the extent that some individuals prefer to explore other options rather than settle for these “boring” sedans.
Fortunately, there are individuals who possess the ability to address this dilemma. They belong to the imaginative world of digital car content creators and have no difficulty envisioning models that surpass their real-life counterparts in terms of aesthetics. One such individual is Giorgi Tedoradze, an industrial designer based in Georgia, who is widely known as tedoradze.giorgi on social media. He consistently showcases his unique and alternative approach to styling German brands.
Tedoradze embarked on this endeavor quite some time ago with a design project that involved reimagining BMW’s entire X series of SUVs. He dedicated his efforts to the X1, X3, X5, and even conceived the non-existent X9 as a superior flagship alternative to the unconventional XM. Subsequently, he shifted his focus to Bavarian passenger cars like the 1 Series and 5 Series, demonstrating that even they could benefit from a fresh perspective in terms of design.
However, his attention has now turned to a different target. Following BMW, Mercedes-Benz became the next subject of his work. He began with the A-Class, a compact hatchback that he envisioned as part of the company’s novel electric vehicle lineup, rather than being phased out. If you appreciate this alternative styling, rest assured that more unofficial Mercedes-Benz models are on the horizon.
The first of these models has already been created, albeit in the virtual realm. The digital artist has now crafted an alternative version of the current W206 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, set in the year 2027. Frankly, the current C-Class has become quite forgettable, so it is perhaps more enticing to dream about a future where a vehicle like this would once again stand out from the crowd. Interestingly, this is not just an ordinary C-Class; we believe it would serve better as a potential EQC Sedan, offered alongside the traditional internal combustion engine-powered models.
So, what are your thoughts? Should Mercedes-Benz consider adopting this alternative styling approach to better showcase their EQ models? And would an EQC sedan sibling find success if equipped with the same range of electric powertrains from the MRA platform, including dual-motor all-wheel drive options?
