LEAKED: The New Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse 2011 - first unofficial images and details surface


After dozens of spy shots and an early look in November, first unofficial photos of the new C-Klasse Facelift emerged today on several automobile websites over the internet. Compared to the outgoing W 204 Generation 2007-2010, the revamped car showcases a fresh front fascia, with CL-inspired headlamps boasting LED technology, a restyled front bumper, with modified air intakes, and the famous Mercedes-Benz grilles: the traditional, chromed one for the basis and ELEGANCE variants and the sporty, 3-slat, Star grille for the AVANTGARDE and AMG Sports Package versions. At the rear end, the changes are mild and include only the addition of LEDs to the tail lamps, which make them look very glossy and attractive. Inside the new C-Klasse 2011, the entire dashboard has been redesigned: new 3- and 4-spoke steering wheels are offered, the instrument cluster takes on the approach of the new CLS, plus a fixed screen for the infotainment system instead of the previous pop-up display and a new, user-friendly center console. According to the manufacturer, the new C-Klasse will come packed full of technology: no less than 10 safety systems will be premiered, along with a useful, hi-tech COMAND Online management unit with internet access. More efficient and powerful direct-injection engines will make their way onto the new model:
