The new E-Class Coupé: Intelligence in its finest form

  • Hot and cool – the E-Class #coupe shows a further development of the #mercedesbenz #design idiom with its puristic, surface-accentuated lines.

  • The #coupe is considerably longer, wider and higher than its predecessor, which above all improves spaciousness and comfort in the rear.

  • The #coupe has more kneeroom in the rear, ensuring long-distance comfort for four occupants on four fully-fledged seats of coupé-specific #design,

  • New highlights create a high-quality ambience in the sensuous and luxurious interior. They include e.g. air vents in a new turbine look, and the new interior colours "yacht blue" and "titian red".

  • The rear lights have a new welcoming light effect and an innovative crystal look.

  • The intelligent washer/wiper system MAGIC VISION CONTROL achieves an optimum cleaning effect without any vision obscuring flood of water, and is fully heated.

  • In addition the E-Class #coupe features all the intelligent innovations of the E-Class Saloon. These include e.g. the Widescreen Cockpit, touch controls on the steering wheel, comprehensive #smartphone integration, the extended Driving Assistance package, the Remote Parking Pilot, Car-to-X communication, the AIR BODY CONTROL suspension and MULTIBEAM LED headlamps.


The new E-Class Coupé

Stylish and sporty

With its expressive coupé-esque proportions, clear and sensual #design and long-distance comfort for four people, the new E-Class #coupe combines the beauty and classic virtues of a grand tourer with state-of-the-art technology. It also offers the intelligence of the E-Class family with full #smartphone integration, Widescreen Cockpit and the latest assistance systems with the option of, among other functions, partially automated driving. Powerful engines with low exhaust emissions and comfortable suspension systems with selective damping provide the guarantee of a sporty and agile driving experience.

After the world's most intelligent executive saloon, the Estate and the All-Terrain, the successful E-Class family now welcomes another new member: the #coupe. Based technically on the Saloon, the sportily exclusive #coupe marks a next step in the evolution of the #mercedesbenz #design idiom. With its perfect proportions, the new #coupe exhibits a puristic, surface-accentuated #design with reduced lines and sensuous forms. Both hot and cool, the reduced #design idiom represents beauty and elegance while emphasising the Coupé's sporty and luxurious personality.

The coupé-esque proportions typical of #mercedesbenz are characterised by a distinctive front end with low-positioned sports grille and central star, a long bonnet with powerdomes, a rearward-shifted, squat greenhouse and a muscular rear end. The dynamic looks are underlined by four frameless, fully retractable side windows and the absence of a visible B-pillar. With these clear forms, the #design of the #coupe conveys an air of luxury and style alike.

World premiere: welcoming function of the rear lights

Equally typical of a Mercedes #coupe are the two-part, extremely flat LED tail lamps, which in combination with MULTIBEAM LED headlamps celebrate the world premiere of a welcoming function. When the vehicle is opened, the tail light LEDs illuminate successively from the centre of the vehicle outwards. On locking the vehicle, the light sequence runs in the opposite direction. Both are additionally combined with an up and down dimming feature. This taillight show welcomes and says goodbye to the vehicle user similarly to the familiar welcome feature of the blue optical-fibre show in the front headlamp. Thanks to innovative crystal optics, the tail lamps also have a brilliant appearance reminiscent of the glow of a jet engine.

Sporty, luxurious interior with refined details

The interior of the new E-Class #coupe embodies the synthesis of sporty emotion and luxurious intelligence.

The two brilliant, optionally available 12.3-inch (31.2 cm) displays with a high resolution of 1920 x 720 pixels – unique in this segment - are merged under a single lens to produce a Widescreen Cockpit that appears to float in space. As the key #design element it emphasises the width, as does the fascia-spanning trim, which terminates with a dynamic sweep in the door panel. The instrument cluster in the driver's direct line of vision shows virtual instruments which can be represented in three different styles: "Classic", "Sport" and "Progressive".

The entry-level model combines two dials and a 7-inch (17.8 cm) colour display cluster (1000 x 600 pixels resolution) with a central 8.4-inch (21.3 cm) screen diagonal (960 x 540 pixels). The dials, instrument cluster and central display are installed in a single frame with a high-gloss piano-lacquer look.

A decidedly sporty touch is provided by the air vents, whose #design in silver shadow is inspired by turbine blades.

Touch control buttons in the steering wheel enable the driver to control the instrument cluster and multimedia system using finger swipes without having to take a hand off the steering wheel. Additional controls come in the form of a touchpad with controller in the centre console, which can also recognise handwriting, plus the LINGUATRONIC voice control system. There are also direct-access buttons for controlling the air conditioning, for example, and for convenient activation and deactivation of certain driver assistance systems.

The avant-garde yet highly luxurious seats in the #coupe take their cue from the Saloon. The sporty individual-seat characteristics find their distinctive impression in all four seats.

High-grade materials and contemporary colour landscapes come together to create a sporty, contemporary luxury. The attractive appointments in yacht blue in combination with macchiato beige lend the vehicle a cool, exclusive yachting look. Especially for the E-Class #coupe, there is a choice of two new, light wood trim packages in open-pore and high-gloss finishes. Precisely executed seams give emphasis to the seat #design. In conjunction with AMG Line it is also possible to choose very sporty, highly contrasting leather interiors in black/classic red or black/deep white, all with horizontal seams. The wide range of exterior paint finishes is harmoniously attuned to the modern interior colour schemes

The interior lighting makes exclusive use of durable, energy-saving LED technology. The same applies to the optionally available enhanced ambient lighting with 64 colours.

Diversity to suit every taste

Even the AVANTGARDE standard equipment package is abundantly configured. Alternatively, there is the AMG Line, which differs from AVANTGARDE by such features as front and rear bumpers as well as side skirts and larger AMG Styling wheels. The dots in the diamond radiator grille are chrome-plated, while the brake discs on the front axle are perforated. The interior boasts features such as seats in high-grade ARTICO/DINAMICA microfibre in black with grey contrasting topstitching, the Seat Comfort package, ambience lighting and an AMG leather sport steering wheel. Additional individualisation options for both lines come courtesy of the Night Package with a host of #design details in high-gloss black.

Larger and more luxurious

With a length of 4826 mm (+123 mm), a width of 1860 mm (+74 mm) and a height of 1430 mm (+33 mm), the new E-Class #coupe clearly outstrips its predecessor in terms of length, width and height. The principal beneficiary of the wider track, with 1605 mm at the front (+67 mm) and 1609 mm at the rear (+68 mm), is the driving dynamics.

The significantly larger footprint compared with the previous model is to the benefit of passengers with extra spaciousness and comfort. They profit especially in terms of rear knee room, front and rear shoulder room as well as rear headroom. In each of the four fully fledged seats with coupé-specific individual seat character, the driver and passengers enjoy genuine comfort on long journeys as well as the classic virtues of a grand tourer.


Performance with high-tech

Powerful and efficient petrol and diesel engines, all equipped with the ECO start/stop function and complying with the Euro 6 emission standard - among them a new four-cylinder diesel engine - make for lively performance and driving enjoyment.

At market launch, there will be an initial choice between one diesel and three petrol engines. Further engine variants and 4MATIC versions will follow.
