Mercedes C-Class

Subtlety is the key for Mercedes. Our spies captured this facelifted C-Class testing with only a few minor styling updates over the model it replaces. Most noticeable are the re-designed bumper, headlights and wheels.

Despite the similar looks, it's likely that Mercedes will offer a refreshed interior and a host of mechanical updates to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Among these changes we can expect to see direct fuel injection and a stop-start system, as well as an ultra efficient BlueTec diesel engine.

Reports suggest that there may also be a new C-Class Coupe added to the range, which will replace the smaller CLC.

The facelifted C-Class is likely to be unveiled at the Los Angeles Motor Show in December.
