Any tech specs on the diesel 350CDI facelift C class? They show it in the pictures but not in the tables. I can see info for the petrol 350CGI and diesel 300CDI.
On the MB german website as well Mercedes-Benz Deutschland - Aktuelles & Events - Die neue Generation C-Klasse
What a great update to this car. I would love to see the wagon on sale here in the states. Looks supremely better than the GLK.
Blasphemy..Sunny u should head to ur nearest MB dealer right now and ask nicely to open the car for u to enjoy the fine interior. +1
A pretty damn substantial update and a mostly pleasant surprise. The interior update is something of a shocker. I was always turned-off by the W204's rental-grade interior and this appears to throw things back on track (dunno if the tactile matches the optics but looks promising). The new rear treatment really classes things up and makes the car appear more in-line with the sticker price. But the front... Well, it looks quite good but we've seen this "Completely Livid" expression on dozens of cars now - many of them BMWs. On the upside it also bares a striking resemblance to the double-facelifted SL. This FL wins on points, but I prefer the old front-end styling as it spoke the same language as the greenhouse - which said 'stately, in a small package.'
Front: Horrible IMO Rear: Can't see any changes compared to the old C other than the leds, looks boring Interior: Major improvement, at last a MB interior that I like.
All the talk about the front is identical to the ones we had when the SL got FL,we didn't like at first then it's one of the most if not the most gorgeous roadsters on sale now.
I asked about the 350 CDI on another forum and was told its details will be released later. If you look at the pictures of the back of the white estate it is a 350 CDI and the slate grey estate is a 350 CDI 4matic. If I have read the reports correctly all automatics will be 7 speed. I believe all except the 250CDI 4matic will be 7G Plus from the start, the 250 CDI 4matic will have the existing 7G which it has had from launch and will get 7G Plus in June. Stewart.
The official w204 facelift world presentation and all the pictures are made in our country, exactly in the WONDERFUL TENERIFE ISLAND (CANARY ISLANDS), SPAIN. We invite you to visit. Many thanks.
Yeah, all automatics will be 7G now. A very welcomed update. I suppose the 7G+ means it works with start-stop and must be slightly more efficient... It's a fantastic facelift!!!
Looks more mature than the current C63, and classier/cleaner. However, it seems to have lost that "boy racer" aggression from the original, for better or worse. Also, I'm not sure how I feel about AMG's now blacking out the middle of the bumper-bottoms ("toothless/gaping" look). Now that AMG bumpers are so readily available to non AMG cars, I guess they had to find something to do, to separate them visually.
^ Very much agree that its lost the boy racer look and im not sure myself if its for better or worse as it gave the C63 a distinctive look. A few have said the headlights shouldnt have been changed, they look worse etc but truth is, even if the new lights dont look as aggressive, mercedes need to have this car looking fresh in 3 years time as well and so a change in headlights were required. Expect the full LED treatment to be standard in the final 6/12 months of the C class to push sales. On the other hand I think for the AMG they should have stayed with the original headlights (A bit like what BMW have done with the M3) as the AMG treatment would ensure the lights and the rest of the car look fresh, all IMO of course.
