The upcoming 2017 Mercedes E-Class Coupe is in the final stages of its development, with our spies spotting a test car with no swirling camouflage applied on it.
As the time for the official reveal approaches, Mercedes opted to replace the traditional prototype camouflage with a flat black wrap, giving us a proper look on the two-door version of the E-Class.
There isn’t much left to write about Mercedes’ choice to apply the same design approach in most of its vehicles, with the E-Class Coupe looking exactly as a smaller version of the S-Class Coupe.
With that said though, the new German coupe will be one of the most elegant and beautiful models in the segment, once it hits the market in 2017. Under the pretty skin we’ll find all the tech that debuted in the regular E-Class, including the semi-autonomous features, a dual-screen layout for the dashboard and of course most of the engines that power the four-door executive sedan.
The engine range will include both the latest turbocharged petrol and diesel units but we’re still waiting to see if Mercedes will offer a plug-in hybrid variant as well. There’s a lot of expectation also on the range-topping 63 and 63S AMG models, which are going to be propelled by the twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 with as much as 612PS being transmitted to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic gearbox.
According to the latest reports, Mercedes is going to reveal the new 2017 E-Class Coupe at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
