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.
