Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

[Design FIRST]

I would say that the front part is the most truthful, they will never make the rear window like this

I actually like the rear 3/4 view.

I still can't get my heart and mind around that faux-radiator grill shield though.

Personally I dont think Mercedes would bring out such a curved rounded rear on a saloon as it will eat into valuable boot space. A big boot has always been a hallmark of a S-class and an E-class ever since they been on sale and this boot design will definitely be alot smaller than the rectangular shaped boots they been having for years.

The frontal styling could make production but my guess the light design will be something a little more conventional to meet government regulations.

Isn’t it the same BMW and Audi are doing? Being unable to find new design cues, they just stick with the old ones.

I can't keep track anymore - something I never thought I'd say about Mercedes-Benz product introductions. GLB, GLA, little g, G Cabrio, S facelift, E EV, AMG Track Sport, GLE, GLS facelifts just to name a few. From a company that back in the day had to delay the R129 SL because they had to get the 190E out the door first.

Yep, things sure have changed since the W/S 123, W126, C126, R107 and first-gen G-Wagen days. The presentation of the W201 "Baby Benz" in fall 1982 ushered some significant expansion of M-B's model offerings.

Do you know when we’ll see the AMG version of the EV CLA? When do the ICE versions come?

The ICE version of the CLA will go on sale this year. The AMG model will be launched at the end of next year.

The in motion footage shows the car in a far more favourble light IMHO. FAAAR more favorable, actually.

This AMuS render doesnt look too bad, a bit like the W214 but with different grill.

I think that is literally what it will be: a 214 with different trimmings.

 

[Merc1]

Right. I still continue to wonder why post these. Tho this might be close. Pass.

Yep, 2027 is right in the pipeline for the W214 E-Class to get a facelift. The pic Rolf posted could be very close to what it will look like.
