The latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon was launched earlier this year. The E-Class is in its fifth generation now, however, the Coupe was due for an update. Mercedes-Benz has now teased the Coupe ahead of its launch on December 14.
The Coupe was teased in a video which revealed little highlights of the car. The most fascinating of which is the new tail-lamp design which now incorporates what the company calls ‘star-dust effect’. The headlamp also looks fancy with projectors and DRLs in a newly designed unit. The inside is dominated by the turbine-style air vents on the centre console. The infotainment screen is in conjunction with the instrument cluster.
For the first time, the new E-Coupe is expected to receive a full-blown AMG treatment. Based on the MRA rear-wheel-drive modular architecture, the Coupe will have a roomier interior and a practical boot. The engine options will remain same as the E-Class Sedan. The 3.0-litre inline-six engine or the four-cylinder turbocharged petrol and diesel engines will power the new E-Class Coupe.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the most versatile car in the German manufacturer’s line-up. The E-Class is now available in five body styles – Saloon, Estate, Coupe, Cabriolet and the recently introduced All-Terrain.The E-Class Cabriolet is expected to make its way later.The E-Class Coupe will slot in between the C-Class Coupe and S-Class Coupe. Following the global unveiling on Wednesday, the E-Class Coupe will be showcased at the 2017 Detroit Motor show. The new Coupe will make its way to India only after the new E-Class Saloon is introduced sometime next year.
