Mercedes Teases The Facelifted E-Class Coupe And Cabrio

Mercedes has released the first teaser images of the facelifted E-Class Coupe and Cabrio.

Set to be introduced shortly, the models will follow in the footsteps of the updated sedan and wagon.

Mercedes is keeping details under wraps, but said the facelifted E-Class Cabrio “combines everyday practicality, exemplary safety and superior travel comfort with a sporty, elegant design.” The company went on to say we can expect a more dynamic front fascia with a standard diamond grille and “flatter” LED headlights.

The drop top also promises to be “more powerful and efficient than ever before.” The company didn’t elaborate, but promised new engines with EQ Boost.

Speaking of electrified engines, Mercedes-AMG confirmed the updated E53 Coupe will have an electrified powertrain that features a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 429 hp (320 kW / 435 PS) and 384 lb-ft (520 Nm). The model will also have an EQ Boost starter-generator that can deliver an additional 21 hp (16 kW / 21 PS) and 184 lb-ft (249 Nm) of torque.

While the powertrain carries over, the E53 will have a “thoroughly upgraded interior” and a strengthened identity with “characteristic design features.”

A lot of questions remain, but the facelifted E-Class Sedan suggests the Coupe and Cabrio will have a new steering wheel, revised upholstery, and 10.25- or 12.3-inch displays for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. We can also expect updated driver assistance systems and several new features such as energizing seats and Urban Guard protection packages.

There could also be a new six-cylinder and a hybridized 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol. The latter produces 197 hp (147 kW / 200 PS) and has an integrated starter-generator that can contribute an additional 20 hp (15 kW / 20 PS) and 133 lb-ft (180 Nm) of torque.

Mercedes didn’t say when the facelifted E-Class Coupe and Cabrio will be unveiled, but it sounds like a debut could come either later this month or early next month.
