Fly Wheel follower Mr.Zakhariya Jamal spotted the Next generation Mercedes-Benz E class(w213) while testing in Dubai.
All that makeup is a bit futile taking into consideration the new E-Class will borrow most of the exterior design from its two C & S brothers while the interior cabin is expected to have more in common with the S-Class.
Upon closer inspection we can see two different front grille designs, fresh alloys while in some of the photos you can see the trunk is open. The prototypes were carrying production-spec headlights and taillights sporting a familiar design while the side mirrors were completely exposed and showed sleeker turn signals.
Since the C-Class is now bigger than its predecessor, Mercedes-Benz will have to make the E-Class a little bit larger so expect an extended wheelbase which will provide a more generous interior cabin. There also might be a Maybach version with even longer wheelbase and individual rear seats, just like on the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.
Riding on the MRA platform, the new E-Class will be lighter than the outgoing model and could be offered with an array of newly developed inline-six engines while the range-topping Mercedes-AMG E63 will probably use a twin-turbo V8 4.0-liter. A plug-in hybrid version is likely in the works as well and could use an adaptation of the hardware installed in the C350e which has a 2.0-liter turbo gasoline engine, an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. Later during the car’s lifespan there might also be a fully electric version, but nothing is official at this point.
The new E-Class Sedan is expected to go on sale approximately a few months from now and will be joined by the wagon, a long wheelbase sedan, coupe and cabriolet
