Mercedes E Class Coupe

After the successful launch of the new E Class, it all went rather quiet at Mercedes. To counteract this impression of torpor, the prestige marque is set to unveil the coupé scion of the E Class family in Geneva. And this time it is not called the CLK, but simply the E Coupe which makes its origins all the more apparent. It fits and it also gets rid of the unnecessary alphabet spaghetti.

The handsome new Coupe is in direct competition with the 3-series Coupe and the Audi A5. Its dated predecessor could not hope to match their success, but going purely on looks, the new one can give them a run for their money. Distinctive design features have been borrowed from the new E Class such as the familiar rear wheel arches, the chiselled four-eyed face and the LED daytime running lights, all of which immediately bring the saloon to mind. The arched roof line creates an elegant, stretched side view. Very harmonious and above all, timeless.
