A permanent wind of innovation seems to be blowing at Mercedes-Benz. The S- and C-class were helped to a completely new generation not long ago and soon the E-class will be given a new look. The new Mercedes-Benz E-class is clearly visible from all angles on these spy plates.
Mercedes-Benz carried out a facelift not so long ago on the E-class, but the brand has been testing for a long time with a completely new generation. The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class will closely resemble both its smaller and larger sister models in several respects. Like the C and S class, which were recently completely redesigned, the E class uses the MRA2 platform.
That platform – with which the E-class, among other things, a co-steering and counter-steering rear axle – is certainly not the only thing that Mercedes’ A6 and 5-series competitor looks like from the C- and S-class. Just as you are used to from Mercedes-Benz, the new E-class also fits excellently in terms of design between the C and S. The transition to the ‘new design’ will not be earth-shattering for the E-class. The current model was designed during its latest facelift according to Mercedes’ new design language.

Just like the current model and the previous generations of the E-class, the new E will also have an Estate. The Cabriolet and Coupé may be deleted. It could just be that these two model variants merge with the Coupé and Cabrio of the C-class. There will be no fully electric E-class. Mercedes-Benz has devised the EQE for this. However, there will be hard-hitting AMG versions and a whole series of mild hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
We do not expect the new E-class for next year in the Netherlands.
