Default 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-class Preview:


Preview: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-class

Tuesday 19 June 2007


Mercedes is set to release its next-generation E-class sedan by 2009, with sales to start soon after the car’s debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Remaining similar in size to the current model, the new E-class will pick up styling cues from the CLS four-door coupe as well as a new angular front end with four square shaped headlights.

The interior will hopefully continue Mercedes’ recent return to form in the quality department, and is expected to feature a mix of elements from the S and C-class models including a centrally mounted color screen as well as an in-dash unit between the speedo and tachometer.

A wagon variant will hit the market less than 12 months after the launch of the sedan and will feature a widened C-pillar and a chrome strip across its rear.

Base models will be powered by a 184hp four-cylinder turbo engine, with the range topping out with a 544hp V8 model. New to the lineup will be a direct injection petrol V6 model, a 354hp diesel V8 version and the all-new hybrid model that’s expected to arrive after 2010.

You guys realize theres only so much you can do to a car to differentiate it. You'll occasionally have styling cues that look like other makers. It happens, get over it.

They shouldn't have done quad lights in that shape, neither should have Lexus. I'm not really a fan...

I think it looks better than current E.

E's had quad lights for a couple of generations now though.

Looks like a mix between the smaller new body style C-class and larger S-class. Actually thats kinda the design theme the current E-class has IMO.

I kind of like it...theres really no point in splitting up the headlights when you have a 1 mm separation between them
I don't think it looks like the GS at all.
