Mercedes stated this week that they would be releasing a new brand of E-class that will be released in September of 2008. Mercedes is creating the E-class to be more for the younger consumers – which means we can expect to see a more unique body style and design that will be different from all of the other models.
Mercedes told us that it will have a tauter, edgier appearance inspired by the new C-class, including a clamshell-style bonnet, prominent swage lines along the flanks and a high boot line. Lightweight construction techniques will be used to help ensure the new E-class does not gain much weight. Mercedes will use a full steel structure with greater use of tailored blanks to keep the kilograms in check.
