The signature radiator grille and twin-headlamps. The elegant, pillarless profile. The sculpted, powerful rear. From every angle, the new E-Class Coupé exudes energy confidence, and control.
The new E-Class Coupé is available in two exclusive model lines – the SE and Sport.
Elegant and understated, the SE’s distinctive exterior design touches include 17” multi-spoke alloy wheels and LED taillights. Inside, a tone-on-tone colour scheme uses light trim for the pillars and roof lining and a subtle contrast colour for the dash, steering wheel and gearshift lever.
Standard equipment includes heated front seats with electrical adjustment. Speedtronic cruise control, Advanced Parking Guidance and new Attention Assist are included for optimum safety and convenience.
The Sport offers more dynamic, aggressive looks with AMG bodystyling and 18” AMG wheels. The motorsport-inspired interior features an AMG 3-spoke steering wheel, floor mats with AMG lettering and sports pedals in brushed stainless steel.
For enhanced agility, the Sport comes with sports parameter steering, sports-tuned suspension and sports braking system as standard. The superb Dynamic Handling Package is available as standard on the E 500 Sport and optionally on all other engines.
Supreme efficiency
The E-Class Coupé offers a choice of two BlueEFFICIENCY diesel engines, combining exceptional driving dynamics with low fuel consumption and emissions.
The E 250 CDI is a new 4-cylinder unit that employs a range of technologies to streamline performance. Two-stage turbocharging ensures optimum efficiency and response, both at low and high speeds. Lanchester balancer shafts reduce engine vibration and noise. And 4th generation common-rail technology uses increased injection pressures of 2000 bar to maximise every drop of fuel.
The results are impressive, with the E 250 CDI manual achieving 52.3 mpg combined and doing 0 – 62 mph in 7.4 seconds. CO2 emissions are only 143 g/km, with Benefit in Kind of 19% and a 20% write down allowance.
For drivers who require even more power, the E-Class Coupé is available with a formidable V6 unit – the E 350 CDI – that delivers 231 hp and 540 Nm of rated torque. Yet despite powering the coupé from 0 – 62 mph in 6.7 seconds, the automatic version still achieves 45.6 mpg combined, with CO2 emissions of just 179 g/km.
Exterior - Feast your eyes
With its muscular haunches, pillarless side windows and long, low stance, the new E-Class Coupé simply demands to be driven.
Inspired styling elements include the distinctive V-shaped front end with its expressive twin headlamps and LED driving lights, which feature as standard on the Sport or as part of the optional Light Package on SE. A two-louvre radiator grille with prominent Mercedes star further enhances the car’s bold, assured presence.
Moving back along the car, a dramatic beltline accentuates the Coupé’s wedge-shaped profile. Flared rear wheel arches – a nod to the legendary Panton Mercedes - suggest poise, power and control.
At the rear, eye-catching details include a diffusor-look rear bumper nestling beneath distinctive LED taillights. Chrome twin-tailpipes – oval for V6 models, trapezoidal for the V8 – and 6-twin-spoke alloy wheels complete the car’s dynamic, sporty persona.
Interior - Impeccably finished
Blending sporty design with sumptuous finishes, the interior of the new E-Class Coupé echoes the car’s exquisite exterior styling.
Specially designed ergonomic seats with integral head restraints offer outstanding comfort and support without compromising on style. Automatic belt feeders provide maximum convenience and in the rear, passengers have individual seats.
Attention to detail is meticulous throughout and materials are of the highest quality. For example, the 3-spoke multi-function sports steering wheel is finished in Nappa leather and features a matt chrome inlay. 12 buttons on the steering wheel enable safe, easy operation of various functions. Drivers also benefit from an integrated 5.8-inch colour display and ergonomic control in the centre console.
Other highlights include an aircraft-inspired instrument cluster with five tubular dials and trim elements in brushed aluminium (standard on SE and Sport) or optional wood.
