E-Class (W214) [Renders] Next generation E-Class (W214)

[Titot]

Crazy how close the E and 5 are this time. Virtually the same launch, and I don't think that has ever happened before....They were always close, but not like this.

I think it's actually pretty cool so close together. The E vs 5 is one of the biggest (if not the) rivalries in the automotive world.
Just a shame the E has been leaked to the amount it has. And it appears BMW has patched some leaks lately to the point I am surprised we haven't seen more.

As far as I can remember from my childhood towards my teenage years: late 2000s to the entire 2010s for the product launches of E-Class and 5 Series. These are the timelines:

W212 versus F10 era: 2009 to 2016.
W212 was released in January 2009 (early) and followed by the F10 in November 2009 (late). The majority of 2009 felt like this was a prominent year for the W212 since it has been debuted in the beginning of that year. While the F10 was strongly related with the 2010 due to a fact that it has been presented near the end of 2009.

W213 versus G30 era: 2016 to 2023.
W213 has an official world premiere in January 2016 (first quarter), then the G30 was announced by October 2016 (fourth and final quarter). Both generations of E and 5er felt like they were solidly associated with the 2017 or known as late 2010s vibe and atmosphere. Even though the W213 has a bit of 2016-esque here and there.

An upcoming W214 versus G60 era: 2023.
Both W214 and G60 are going to make their first public appearances on the second quarter of this year. The W214 is likely to be debuted in a few months earlier than the G60 which has been confirmed to have a world premiere in May. Personally, I think both vehicles are going to represent the mid 2020s German-European Executive Sedan/Premium E-Segment rivalries in various areas if they have the right ingredients. Moreover, this seems to be a coincidence to a competition between the W211 and E60 during the mid 2000s.

As you indicate then basically instead of 10 months of constant approximate difference in the presentation, in this generation only 1 month will separate them, april/may, I love that

I also think that the presentation will take place in April, calculating that it will debut in dealerships in the summer, I think in June, two months after the official launch

An era of W213 versus G30 is about to come to an end in just only two months, probably on the 23rd of May. Unlike the previous W212 vs F10 era where there was a decent gap between both cars in terms of their official releases-world premieres. So during the final quarter of 2016 is where the period of W212 vs F10 has formally phased out.

SUCCESSOR SERIES WILL BE SHOWN IN APRIL

The successor series to the E-Class as the 214 series will probably be officially presented by Mercedes-Benz as a sedan for the first time in April 2023. In advance, the model was presented to the salespeople uncamouflaged and to the service staff in camouflage. The station wagon (S 214) will follow later – in the second half of 2023.

Any news on how long the W213 Coupe and Convertible will be available to order?

It seems both the CLS and the AMG GT 4dr will be discontinued this year, so I would expect the same for the E-Coupe.

 

[Mathmatic]

I wonder if the S214 will be an euro only thing like many german wagons recently.

No way on the AMG 4Door. It just got a bunch of tweaks and the new hybrid powertrain. I think we just saw pics of another facelift coming. The CLS is dead tho.

Well, the info comes from Kacher. It’s either this year or the next one.

Mind AMG has a true EV 4dr flagship coming. This should come in 2026.

 

[Serpens]

Yeah the AMG GT 4 door will be gone in 2025, if not by end of 2024.

There was a few W223 S-class models driving close to the W214 and its amazing that it doesn't look that much bigger. So the W214 E-class will be a big car and probably hit close to the 5m mark.

The gt 4 door iis about to be face lifted, minor but this year, we have another three years of it! Camo pics were posted about 2 months ago. The uk waiting list is 2 years currently! Production recently moved to Finland too!

Can’t see it happening this year. Maybe by the end of 2024 or in 2025 sure.

A modded W213. Good luck with selling that for the price they ask. It's a relic and dead weight.

oddly, the GT63s is about the same price as an SL55... but yes, understand your point. 50% more for essentially an E class. Should have been the CLS but oh well. There is also nothing similar in the MB lineup either. I've seen only ever one on the road.

Why we are still looking at new posts with the car in camo?
