Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet enhancements
According to Mercedes Benz, the E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet are the most emotionally appealing representatives of the luxury-class family of models. Styling has been sportily honed with the front sections, in particular, being given a fresh look.
The "A-shape" design of the new diamond radiator grille, which is likewise standard on all versions, adds a particularly dynamic touch. The grille also features chrome-plated dots, a single louvre and the Mercedes star in the center while the muscular rear section is the completely redesigned inner workings of the two-piece tail lights, featuring LED technology. The star module with an integrated reversing camera is inset into the boot lid.
All variants of the E-Class all receive LED headlights as standard. Four paint colors have also been introduced for the E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet facelift and they are namely;
- High-tech silver
- Graphite grey metallic
- Mojave silver
- Patagonia red (designo).
The wheel lineup has also been expanded and now includes aero wheels, as they are called, the special design features of which help contribute to saving fuel and thus to sustainability.
The interior of the E-Class has also been beefed up and it is now fitted with an entirely new, intelligent steering wheel as part of the facelift. This is available as a leather steering wheel and in a super sports variant. The control surfaces sport a high-gloss black finish, while the trim elements and surrounds have a silver shadow finish. The functions of the instrument cluster and media display are operated using touch controls, the physical principle of which has been changed from optical to capacitive.
The new E-Class is equipped with the latest generation of the MBUX multimedia system (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) and as standard, it includes two large 10.25-inch/26 cm screens arranged side by side for a sublime widescreen look. Two 12.3 inch/31.2 cm screens are optionally available.
The ENERGIZING comfort control networks systems in the vehicle use musical and lighting moods plus a number of massage modes to meet a wide range of individual requirements with respect to the occupants' wellbeing. New to the E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet is the ENERGIZING COACH and this function is based on an intelligent algorithm and recommends one or other of the programmes depending on the situation and the individual concerned. If a Garmin® wearable is integrated, personal values such as stress level or quality of sleep optimize the accuracy of the recommendation. The aim is to ensure the driver feels well and relaxed even during demanding or monotonous journeys.
The new Mercedes-AMG E 53 4MATIC+ Coupé
Quick Facts
- Engine: 3.0-liter 6-cylinder in-line engine with exhaust gas turbocharger and electric additional compressor
- Power/Torque: 320Kw/520 Nm
- 0-100 (claimed): 4.4 seconds
- Top Speed: 250km/h
The electrified 3.0-liter engine with twin-turbocharging via an exhaust gas turbocharger and an electric additional compressor generates an output of 320 kw and produces a peak torque of 520 Nm. Its EQ Boost starter-alternator briefly provides an additional 16 kW of output plus 250 Nm of torque and also feeds the 48 V on-board electrical system. Other highlights of the new models include the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission and the fully variable all-wheel-drive system AMG Performance 4MATIC+.
The design of the front view is completely new and reinforces the AMG family affiliation. The key feature is the AMG-specific radiator grille with twelve vertical louvres, which the E 53 4MATIC+ Coupé and Cabriolet have now been given. The A-shaped design of the front, which becomes broader towards the bottom, and the flatter, sharper-cut all-LED headlamps create an especially powerful impression.
The key identifier on the tail end is the round twin tailpipe trim elements, which are available in silver chrome or high-gloss black (as part of the optional AMG Night Package). They are harmoniously integrated into the rear apron. The design of the sides of the mud flaps improves the aerodynamics at the rear: as a result, this provides for better airflow around the wheel arches. The spoiler lip on the boot lid is painted in the color of the vehicle but is optionally also available in carbon fibre.
