The W213 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the fifth generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, sold from 2016 as a 2017 model. It succeeded the W212/S212 E-Class models. The coupe/convertible models share the same platform as the sedan/wagon, in contrast to the previous generation. The high-performance Mercedes-AMG E63 and E63S versions of the W213 have been available as well from 2016 (as a 2017 model), and these are the only versions with V8 engines.

Yes, Europe. Main reason for driving diesel is annual mileage of circa 40,000
The basis tacho from W213 is just the biggest shame that i ever saw...its a copy-paste of the E60 BMW tacho. :/
I realy hope that nobody will order it, at least nobody which has some class&style...
I also think that Daimler made this ugly tacho copy on porpose, so everyone will order the digi-version.

The basic instruments don't look great in this pic, but when the middle TFT screen is on it looks quite classy and nothing like the instruments from the E60 BMW. The W213 instruments have red needles (BMW has white) and the number graphics/style is totally different to the BMW's as well as it has digital style bar fuel and temperature gauges compared to analogue in the E60.

Gorden Wagener talks about the cat-walk line, the stardust rear lights, the grille and Maybach in an interview. 
Q: In Los Angeles you launched the new SL roadster and GLS SUV, and in Detroit, there will be the new E-class sedan. Can you talk about the significance of those models?
A: The E class is sophisticated, stylish and sporty, and it features many forward-looking and unique elements -- such as the "catwalk line" on the flanks and the "stardust" look of the LED taillights. It is an aerodynamics leader, and it will take interior design to the next level.
What about the SL and the GLS? You focused on the front end with those models.
I think we did a very good job bringing both models to the next generation. If we would have changed the side and the rear, we might as well have started from scratch. But the front end of the SL is perhaps the most modern one in the entire lineup. It is the first series application of the Rennsport grille, inspired by the 300 SL Panamericana of 1952 -- and that's just an evolution of our pre-war race cars. We have shown it with "teeth" on the AMG GTR, and on the SL it is slightly tamed.
Will we see that grille on other models?
This look definitely lends itself to sporty models, and it might give our full-fledged AMG models an even sharper identity.
You are a fan of the classic luxury grille with the upright hood ornament. Yet on the new E class, you will offer it alongside the sports grille.
On the more compact C class, we have an 80:20 split in favor of the sports grille. With the Avantgarde-Elegance dichotomy, it was previously marketed as a more conservative choice. Now we want to stress the luxury aspect. Of course, the sports grille is bold, large and sporty. But the luxury grille has a future, and we will carry it forward intelligently.
How can you develop Maybach?
Maybach is our luxury subbrand, but we are just at the beginning of its relaunch. Its success makes us very confident to evolve it further. But we need time.

The standard E-Class instruments look nothing like the E60 5 Series. If anything they look more like the Audi A6, especially with the exact same shape LCD screen between the dials and the red needles on white lettering.

yes we're aware there is a lot of BMW hate in you
Even the pre FL W211 had leather airbag cover. I hope the new one will have it also.Haven't seen it yet, Mick. Might be reserved for the S.
