E-Class [Spy Shots] Next-gen Mercedes-Benz E Class Coupé/Convertible

[Merc1]

I don't get why the new I4 and I6 aren't in this car from the start. I would guess that for the 2018 MY in the U.S. it will be all carryover engines and the for the 2019 MY it will be the new I4 with 270hp and the new I6 in the E400 and E55.

Mercedes has always been very slow in the implementation of new technology that is already ready for production. The 9g tronic is 1 very good example .

...and there you have it.

Despite the fragmented (but very cleverly cloaked) rear side glazing, M-B appears to have produced a home run.

The coupe is heavier than the equivalent saloon, by about 50kg which is a real shame, so its fractionally slower in acceleration but strangely has a higher top speed than saloon in certain models.

Is this the norm for the coupe to be heavier than the sedan or is this just Mercedes?

 

[Mick Briesgau]

So I was wrong with my statement sometime ago: there is a fragmented rear side window and no chrome strip above the rearlights.

 

[W201]

Note the altered Mercedes-Benz emblem, in black and silver, here seen on the wheels.

Already reported by der_landgraf on his Instagram profile (and shared by Wolfgang).

Just a guess: torsion/rigidity reasons perhaps? It has no B pillar.

It is the norm. The previous e coupe might be an exception as the coupe is based on the c class

 

[LaArtist]

reserving judgement for proper pictures, but SEXXXAAAY

Right but even with a B-pillar the Mercedes Coupes are too heavy IMO. For example, the M4 is lighter than the M3, but the C63 S Coupe is heavier than the C63 S Limo. So I don't know what Mercedes is doing wrong here.

M4 Coupe: 1615 kg
C63 S Coupe: 1800 kg

M4 Cabrio: 1865 kg
C63 S Cabrio: 1915 kg

M3: 1635 kg
C63 S Limo: 1730 kg

 

[HUTSUTAo]

I don't see any mention of the use of the new in line 6 engine

 

[MBRulz]

I'm also reserving judgment until official pictures, but so far, it looks like I may have to apologize to the MB design team for an uneducated rant

Me too, I have to say. What I see looks fantastic.

 

[75KoDe]

Waiting as well for official pictures in a few days, but they could have done a better job with the front end design of the car in terms of differentiating the headlights more from the ones in the Limo. Otherwise, I think this is my favourite Coupe out of C, E and S.

Same here..leaks are just pure party poopers lol..but the long rear windows is gonna take some time to take in.

 

[Rolf]

Wow it really looks so pretty, perfect proportions and probably better balance of looks than the already fantastic S-coupe and C-coupe.

M4 Cabrio: 1865 kg

So it's really a Mercedes thing to make the coupe heavier than the sedan.
