Regarding exterior layout, your E-class takes a huge step of progress weighed against their boxy forerunner, using your familial glimpse on the smaller sized C-class as well as the much larger S-class. Most of us such as the brand new top end finest with all the basic stainless grille, lead through the straight, three-pointed-star lid decoration. In the end, this can be a essential Mercedes-Benz.
