The tenth generation Mercedes E-Class arrived in
January 2016, and three years into its life, it will receive a facelift for
MY2020. Kolesa.ru has created renderings with inputs from spy media to
speculate its look.
The last time Mercedes-Benz gave the E-Class a
facelift, it lost the traditional twin headlamp setup. Such drastic measures
are not on the cards this generation. Spy shots suggest that the executive
model is set to receive new headlamps in shape and with graphics inspired by
those of the Mercedes CLS, new radiator grille and a modified bumper.
At the rear, the rendering shows the three-pointed
star’s 5 Series rival with tweaked tail lamps featuring C-shaped graphics that
make them reminiscent of the facelifted Mercedes C-Class. Designers are working
on the facelift program of the Estate and
Coupe versions along with the saloon.
Inside, the 2020 Mercedes E-Class should have
enhancements to the infotainment system and other technologies as well as
refreshed trim and upholstery range. As for the mechanical changes, reports
suggest a wider availability of engines with the EQ Boost mild-hybrid system
for enhanced fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions. The Coupe and Cabriolet versions
received an inline six-cylinder petrol engine with EQ Boost in August this
year. The 2020 Mercedes E-Class should hit the European
markets in the second half of 2019.
