Mercedes-Benz is apparently waiting for the 2017 NAIAS in January to lift the veils off the latest addition to the new E-Class family, the Coupe.
Autocar reports that the executive model will go on sale next spring, sporting a familiar styling that will mimic the look of the two-door C-Class and S-Class.
Coming hot on the heels of the sedan, which was also presented in Detroit last year, the new E-Class Coupe will adopt all of its features, from the dual-screen digital instrument cluster and infotainment system to the modular MRA platform, which also underpins the two aforementioned models.
At the time of its launch, the car will be offered with different petrol and diesel powertrains, but it’s currently unknown whether the plug-in hybrid variant, which uses a 2-liter turbo and an electric motor on the E350e sedan, will be part of the lineup.
One of the most anticipated versions however, will have nothing to do with eco-friendliness, as it will wear the AMG E63 and AMG E63 S badges, signaling the presence of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. The range-topping AMG is set to make its debut later on.
