2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Drawings Leaked

The C-Class will receive a new hood, headlights with LED turn signals that are SL inspired and a revised front fascia


We are not yet completely persuaded, these could be the first official drawings of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Facelift. The updated Mercedes C-Class is not expected to be introduced until the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, so we can be sure that we will see and learn more about the vehicle in the coming months.

Based on the photos, we see an updated sedan with a new hood, headlights with LED turn signals that are SL inspired and a revised front fascia. The interior has been renewed with an integrated COMAND display, new instument cluster and an entirely redesigned dashboard.

Engine variants will likely include the 225 kW (306 PS / 302 hp) 350 BlueEFFICIENCY, the 195 kW (265 PS / 262 hp) 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY and the 150 kW (204 PS / 201 hp) 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. And last but not least, the C63 AMG with a 6.3-liter (6208cc) V8 that produces 451 hp (336 kW / 457 PS) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque.

The first reactions of the photos have been positive but will reserve full judgement until we see more.  Thanks to our good friend Markus Jordan for the photos.

the 2011 C Class is already updated on the MB US website for several weeks now. http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/explore/overview/class-C/model-C350W

@ jmartin1231

The car you’ve spotted on the MB US site is not the car detailed above – note the old indirect-injection 3.5L engine of the current car. Most car companies confuse us with the year of a particular model. The old car will still be sold and plated next year so this is why it’s called the 2011. Despite the new car debuting next year it’ll probably be called the 2012.

I hope that the headlights don;’ look like that!
I don’t like them at ALL!!! I love the current headlights.

Boring update, I was hoping for more. Interior looks good but the exterior needs more, wider grill would help.
