Mercedes-Benz E-Class Spy Shots From the Nurburgring

New next-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class spy shots have emerged as testing of the car continues before its expected launch in 2017 as a 2018 model.

At the rear, it is clear that the 2018 E-Class will be installed with taillights baring similarities to those from the range-topping S-Class. Additionally, it features sleek dual exhaust pipes reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate. Also from a styling standpoint, the car will be adorned with new front and rear bumpers as well as a revised front grille and redesigned headlights.

It is suggested that the next-gen Mercedes-Benz E-Class will feature semi-autonomous driving functionalities and have the capacity to park itself remotely from the owner’s smartphone. Additionally, the gesture control system being developed for the next S-Class will reportedly debut in the new E-Class. Elsewhere, an exceptionally advanced heads-up display system is likely to be made available for the next-gen E-Class to further distinguish it from its direct rival, the BMW 5-Series.

Powertrain wise, it is suggested that three different plug-in hybrid variants of the next-gen E-Class could be offered. The first will utilise a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine joined with an 82 hp electric motor. A 3.0-litre V6 combined with a 109 hp electric motor will also be offered while the third hybrid is expected to use a yet-unconfirmed diesel engine and electric motor pairing.
