Automotive and Car Concept : Future Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Automotive News

Spy photographers have already glimpsed a heavily disguised 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class during hot-weather testing in the U.S., and now they're offering a sneak peek illustration based on the prototypes.

It's still several years off, but the redesigned E-Class has been in the works for some time now. Various test mules have revealed subtle changes that should give this midsize luxury sedan from Mercedes-Benz a more dramatic look than the current model.

Up front, the headlights will change from their current oval shape in favor of a squared-off look. It's bound to be one of this sedan's more noticeable changes as the rest of the new design will incorporate subtle variations that are harder to spot. Minor changes to the current beltline and shape of the greenhouse should further distance this sedan from its predecessor. Revised taillights should give it a new look from behind, too, but we couldn't verify the shapes used in this illustration so we'll have to wait to see how accurate the artist's conception is when the car sheds more of its camouflage.
