W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class side profile exposed

w205-c-class-spyshots-08

Our European spy photographers CarPix have snapped the W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class without any side camo on, exposing more details of the upcoming car. It’s not the first time we’ve seen the car this exposed, but the previous occurance required a massive zoom lens so the final result wasn’t high-res.

As expected, the W205 C-Class continues the tradition of being a baby S-Class, this time sharing some resemblance with smaller sibling CLA-Class as well. There are two prominent character lines on the side – the bottom one rising to the rear and wrapping around the car, and an upper line that drops slightly and ends on the rear door.

We also have a minimally disguised shot of the interior of the new C-Class featured in the past, as well as sets that show a minimally disguised front end, so you can check those out as well.

Although this set only shows the front end with the big star sports grille, we have also seen the traditional multi slat grille that should be accompanied by a hood ornament in our previous spy shot sets.

      More aggressive looking : Good
      But it MUST be engaging to drive and fun like the 3 – Series

    Paul Tan says:

    “So far we’ve only seen C-Class prototypes running around with a big star sports grille, so we wonder if the traditional grille accompanied by a hood ornament has been phased out for the C-Class?”

    Why not? Maybe they will have the hood ornament because the S-Class still retains it and Mercedes is BASING the C-Class on the S-Class. But don’t get me started on the W212 facelift with the hood ornament

    Many potential buyers are awaiting this C Class. Side profile looks nice and solid . Hope this is an F30 beater

  • I foresee myself getting either this or the Audi A4 B9. The decision will depend very much on which is more “handsome”. At the moment, it looks like the c class is pretty “handsome”. Just have to wait until the A4 B9 to be revealed in the metal.
