It has only been two years since the C238
Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe made its world debut, but the folks at Stuttgart
already seem to be working on the facelift model, as seen with this
minimally-camouflaged prototype.
One thing is clear, the Coupe will get the same new
aesthetic as its stablemates, the W213 Sedan, S213 Estate and X213 All-Terrain.
The front fascia gets a new trapezoidal radiator grille flanked by a new pair
of LED headlights, and the LED DRLs take form in the shape of arrows, much like
the W177 A-Class.
The most notable change is none other than the OLED
tail lights, a distinctive design trait that was first seen on the bigger
S-Class Coupe. The overall shape of the tail lights will likely remain the same
– slim and sleek, now made even better with those gorgeous Organic LEDs.
Elsewhere, expect minimal changes to the interior as
well as the powertrain. Mercedes-Benz has already updated the E-Class range
with the latest engines, such as the 299 hp 2.0 litre mild hybrid turbo petrol
in the E 350, as well as the new 320 hp E 300 e and 306 hp E 300 de plug-in
hybrids, each boasting a pure electric range of 50 km on a full charge.
