The current design will not be altered by the sedan.
Unofficial renderings of next-gen Mercedes E-Class appeared quickly. Spy shots showed the sedan covered in camouflage. These renderings by Kolesa.ru show the car’s naked exterior. We are not surprised by the familiar design of the E-Class. Mercedes will likely update the design for the next generation.
Although the overall design of the car isn’t significantly different from the current model, distinct styling differences make the next-gen E-Class stand out. The renderings show the car’s front with a larger grille, which bows into its lower bumper. The front bumper is sportier and the headlights are smaller. The prominent body crease that runs along the side of the lower doors extends to the rear bumper and is similar to the new .
The renderings of the rear end do not show any significant differences from the actual car. The taillights will retain the same trapezoidal shape, but shrink in size. The sedan’s rear bumper and diffuser are also shown in the rendering. They look cleaner than ever. Although the renderings do not show the interior, the model should incorporate the best parts of the as well as the S-Class cabins. The new E-Class should be fully equipped with safety and tech features.
The rendering also fails to show the powertrains. Mercedes has made some changes to the current model’s mid-cycle refresh. It’s not clear if these will be carried over to the next-generation model. Mercedes will offer a variety of engines, including powerful AMG versions and hybrids. The refresh of the E-Class could take a while to arrive. Mercedes could have more time to make changes. The spy shots show that the sedan is ready for production.
