The Stuttgart-based carmaker updated its entire C-Klasse lineup in 2011, unveiling it to the overall public at the 2011 North American International Auto Show, in Detroit.
Some photos and official details of the new model had surfaced in the media a few weeks before, showing a slightly different exterior, a revised interior and the news that it will benefit from a new engine start-stop system. The interior has been boosted by Merc with the addition of a high-res screed on the dashboard, the introduction of the new Mercedes-Benz Comand APS system, new steering wheel and updated switchgear.
