Today however, we learn the German carbuilder will also show the all new 2014 E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet models in Detroit.
Like the new Sedans and Wagons, they inherit a more dynamic front end comprised of:
- A front air dam with larger air intakes on each side;
- In some versions, a classic grille with the three-pointed star mounted on the hood;
- The C-Class grille with the three-pointed star dead centre;
- Elongated monoblock headlamp housing.
At the rear, the new tail lamps stretch to each side.
Inside, the dashboard sports new air vents and a revised centre console.
European markets receive new four-cylinder gasoline engines all part of the new BlueDIRECT family.
