Spy Shots: Updated Mercedes-Benz C-Class wagon spotted touring about

Filed under: Spy Photos , Wagon , Mercedes-Benz , Luxury Mercedes-Benz C-Class wagon spy shots – Click above for high-res image gallery Last week, the forthcoming revised Mercedes C-Class sedan was caught on a field trip , and this week it’s the C-Class wagon. Naturally, the same changes spotted in that last round of photos – new hood, headlights and bumpers, a more upright grille, LED taillamps, and altered rear fascia – have taken the small step over to this car as well. The spy shooters at CarPix also suggest that noticeable interior changes might be on the way, since “test drivers are always very keen on covering the dash up.” We expect a few modest material changes and maybe some COMAND updates, but not a full-on interior redo.

According to Inside Line, though, the success BMW has had with the 1 Series Coupe has prompted Mercedes to rethink a new two-door version of its latest C-Class . The discontinuation of the CLK and the emergence of a new, larger E-Class Coupe means that there’s space in Mercedes’ lineup for a smaller, entry model that would do battle with the aforementioned BMW 1 Series as well as the slightly larger 3 Series and Infiniti G37 . Naturally, we can expect a couple of DOHC V6 powerplants, in this case utilizing direct injection for added power and reduced fuel consumption and emissions
