Is this the E class EV? Looks like a 3 box sedan to me!

 

[Uygar]

Headlights seem to be very similar to the GLC and C-Class EV. I think it will have a very similar design to those, just with proper 3-box sedan shape, which is not a bad thing at all.

Oh my, am I seeing it properly? Is the glasshouse extending beyong the rear door like on the CLA and C-Class EV? Tragic if true.

And the fact that the car seems to feature the EXACT same head lights as the GLC and C-Class EV is just absurd. Perfectly defining all that is wrong with MB these days.

Headlamps can change, heck the entire front and rear can change at this point. The car is at least 2 years out from release.

The "money shot":

Wide track. Solid stance. Not bad at all, so far.

Its got a similar overall body shape to the ICE E-class but the details still all hidden and it looks like the car is in the early stages before final specs been decided. The headlights, grill and rear lights going to determine if this car is a success or possible failure.
