New models of the Mercedes-Benz CLC will not celebrate the new year with us as the company plans to end production of the vehicle by the end of the year. The move comes after the small hatchback based on the last-generation (W203) C-Class platform failed to attract enough customers across the world.
The current-generation CLC was introduced in several markets in 2008 but was never bought to North America. That was because company’s C Class Sports Coupe had failed to impress the Americans and had recorded low sales numbers.
The CLC currently is being produced at Benz’s Juiz de Fora facility in Brazil, which will be undergoing changes in its production line. Mercedes plans to repurpose the plant to build trucks and high-end Accelo Actros.
