Previously, the E-Class was also launched a bit before the festive season in 2009. The facelift will on sale in the European markets in April. The front has been completely redesigned and features new headlamps comprise of all functional elements in a single headlamp lens. In addition, for the first time, the E-Class is available with two different front-end designs – the classic, three-dimensional Saloon grille and star on the bonnet, or the sports car radiator.

A new feature line and a repositioned three-dimensional trim strip give both the Saloon and Estate models new, visually exciting proportions. The feature line runs below the structure line from the rear door through to the tail light. Visually this benefits the vehicle in terms of length. Overall the E-Class looks more elongated and elegant, yet at the same time dynamic. Mercedes-Benz has also revised the interior of the new E-Class, and harmonised it with the expressive exterior.
