2010 Mercedes C Class Facelift
The Mercedes C Class 2010 facelift has been leaked accidentally by Mercedes UK on their website.
We get used to seeing spy shots of facelifts and new cars all the time. And sometimes we get photos of soon to be released cars that have leaked out of the back door. But this time we get a pictures of the lightly facelifted 2010 Mercedes C Class – straight from the Mercedes front door.
It would seem the Mercedes Benz UK has dropped a bit of a clanger and managed to post photos of the facelifted C Class on their website today. An eagle-eyed surfer picked it up so you can see what Mercedes has in store. Which isn’t a great deal. But then Mercedes mid-cycle facelifts do tend to be modest affairs; a tweak here; a refinement there.
The front bumper on the C Class gets a bit of a change and there’s a set of the LED running lights that have become de rigeur, plus some new alloys. It would seem the interior is pretty much the same, although you can probably bet on a few function tweaks to the COMAND and connectivity.
Engine-wise we don’t expect anything too significant, although we’ll probably get enough fiddling to see improved economy and reduced emissions. And there will be a BlueEfficiency option or two.
Nothing stunning – just the usual Mercedes mid-life refresh.

Sorry to disappoint Cars UK readers or maybe delight you to know that the car shown, and taken from the car configurator tool, is a C-Class Model Year 800.5, in production from December 2009, so it is in fact a current model available in the UK.
The potentially misleading part is that all C-Class (Sal and Est) on the configurator show the new LED daytime running lights which are only fitted if the Intelligent light system is fitted. This is a £1200 option.

Thanks for clarifying, Mark.
