The sedan is the last member of the E-Class family to be spotted with "facelift features." However, these spyshots are game-changers because they reveal Mercedes is indeed working on new taillights, plus it puts the outgoing version of the car in the frame for an easy comparison.
So far, we've seen both the wagon and the 2-door, but not the E-Class sedan, which was the first model of the new generation. And over the past week, we said we suspected that those prototypes might not have all the features, which we now know to be true.
This E-Class sedan has been equipped with makeshift taillights, which indicates the outline of the element will be changed completely, not just what's inside.
This model also features new headlights, which we talked about before. The LED brow going over the top looks angry, just like the one on the CLS four-door coupe. Noticing what Mercedes changes is made easier by the current E 400 model that's also in a few of the shots.
Another obvious difference is the hood, which features the two bumps you'll find on something like a Mercedes-AMG E 53. But based on the exhaust of this model, it's not an AMG. Inside, the most significant upgrade is expected to be the MBUX system, which is not captured by our spyshots but has been filmed last week.
The E-Class undoubtedly needs to stay relevant in the face of the new Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series. It's a competition that's been going on for decades, but we honestly don't know what Mercedes can change in the engine department.
The E-Class is already one of the primary beneficiaries of the latest inline-6 and four-cylinder engines that are said to be more refined and efficient. Mercedes currently has way more competitive units than Audi, which is pretty rare considering the Benz boys were only remarkable when it came to V8s. Also, since the E-Class refresh is more than a year away, it should share autonomous tech with the next S-Class.
