The 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class from the brand's best-selling model lineup receives a fresh new treatment and a little more than 2,000 new components while promising enhanced looks and superior fuel economy.
On the outside, the 2011 model boasts redesigned bumpers, a new aluminum hood and fully-updated aerodynamics that will reduce drag and fuel consumption.
Inside, the all-new dashboard features a high-resolution screen in the instrument panel as well as new displays and trim pieces. Both the coupe and sedan inherit a revised navigation system allowing drivers to surf the web, transfer contacts from a cell phone and upload files directly to the audio system using Bluetooth or a USB port.
Mercedes-Benz also announces fuel savings of up to 31 percent over the previous model courtesy of a standard ECO start/stop function. The available seven-speed autobox with optimized gear ratios will further improve efficiency.
As for the engines, the manufacturer will likely offer Canadians a four-cylinder and two V6 variants. The V6 350 BE is expected to generate 300+ horsepower, a significant gain from the current engine's 268 ponies.
