Mercedes Said To Start Taking Pre-Orders For New E-Class In January

With only a few weeks left until its imminent reveal, the new generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class will reportedly be available for pre-order before the end of January.

The three-pointed star will pull the wraps off the executive sedan at the 2016 NAIAS, in Detroit, in early January, and just a week later, Mercedes-Benz Passion Blog reports that the company will start taking pre-orders for the European market on the 18th of the same month.

Info on pricing remains unknown for the moment, but its future owners will have to wait around three months until taking a closer look, as the model is said to reach dealerships in April.

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class will be an evolutionary step up from the current model and it will bring a fresh exterior, a new interior, which has been detailed already, and different powertrains.

The company will show it, at first, in a sedan body style, which will be followed by an estate. A Coupe is in the works too, along with a long wheelbase version, expected to be aimed towards the Chinese market. The Convertible will reportedly be introduced towards the end of 2017.

Full details on the next-gen E-Class will be released on January 11, during the Detroit show.
