A reader sent in these shots of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan and E-Class Coupe at a private preview at Carcosa Seri Negara sometime earlier this month. Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has already taken up teaser press ads in the newspapers with the tag line “Engineered around you” for the launch.
The base model for the E-Class and undoubtedly probably the most popular one in terms of sales will be the E 200 CGI, which will be powered by Mercedes-Benz’s new turbocharged direct injection engine. We’ve been waiting for this engine a long time, so the the old 1.8 litre Kompressor can be sent into retirement.
Look after the jump for a full photo gallery of the cars.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
finally its here, the E-coupe look awesome..
slurp slurp. is mercedes design getting better with the new c class and e class these days or am i getting older. actually starting to like their design heheh.
but have to wait at least another 10 years….
Why the buttock looks abit like the BMW coupe?
Wah, if Merz Malaysia place the coupe front bumper into the sedan, it will look better. Hope that Malaysia can get the so call AMG look spec lar…
fancy the coupe… terliur…
The Coupe look like a sword man!! Sluuuurp….so nice
hmm… might go for the coupe. With current problem reg VW Malaysia, Srirocco have to wait on the back burner. Plus I think Merc E-coupe suits 40+ ppl better. Any news on the asking price?
Ive seen this in flesh at Talavera parking lot, Jakarta. Real gem. Love it to the bits. This over 5 Series, anytime.
THE BACK COUPE LOOK LIKE NISSAN SLYPH BUT BIGGER, BUT WHAT THE HECK, I WOULD GLADLY DRIVE THIS OVER BMW ANYTIME, BUT NOT XF, EXCEPTION TO XF.
DONT BUY NOW, GET IT IN 2010, AT LEAST IT WILL BE A YEAR YOUNGER WHEN U SELL IT
wow… new c class and e class really have the handsome looks…
better looking than BMW 5 series!!
it just keeps getting better…….
I want the Coupe!!!
The coupe is bloody gorgeous! It's been out here in Australia for some time now, and every time I see it pass by, I just cant stop staring!
Man..for a guy who not fond of Mercs…I rather dig the E coupe looks…long but yet very bold and sleek! Heh heh…I bet some of our politicians are began to be having an itching hands soon…
p/s: the tailights on the coupe is much better than the sedan…IMO
Finally!!Gorgeous…
Btw, does anyone know when is the facelifted W221 S-class coming to Malaysia? Or is it even launching it in msia?
Mercedes seems to be straying from their design strategy from time to time.
I always thought the w124 evolved gracefully from the w123. But then, the w210 came and left a funny taste in our mouths.
When the W211 came, we all drooled at the curves…now they have gone away from round lights. The w212 coupe looks awesome…cant say the same for the sedan as something seems to be out of place….
the AMG front definitely looks awesome…
from wat i read in the internet, the engine is basically the same from current engine, M271 but wit a few improvement. Merz add direct injection + turbo.
Wonder how much for the price it is.
lolz,i heard the E200 CGI will be priced for abt 360k.the coupe must be around 400K+ coz it's replacing the CLK.the coupe really looks good.the sedan is nice to look at too~
Gosh, that is one sexy beast!
The sedan will looks excellent in black…
look here > http://gallery.me.com/bigevil#100069
merc coupe butt looks similar to beemer's coupe butt…
wow…nice. But the price 'hampeh'…
what's the difference between an e-class and a c-class? could anyone compare it to beemer classes? like the 7 series is comparable to the s-class i.e (straight out answer please, not interested in smart alec answers)
e class is akin to 5 series, while c class is to 3 series. both are different segments of cars. the e is bigger than the c. the decision to rename the CLK as e coupe was because the clk was built on the e class platform, if i am not wrong.
anyway, i am very sure alot of rich towkay will buy this car withnin the launch's and 2 months after. this is probably the only car in malaysia where if you're seen driving it, you're automatically refer as being "rich" or achievement. the power of branding.
wow cant wait for the coupe to hit our roads. gotta see!
I saw these cars at Naza World near the Federal Highway a couple of months back.
Both the E-coupe and E-Sedan.
However they said the car was not for sale.
It was for one of their bosses presumably
I so wanted the white E-Coupe AMG that they have
Freaking awesome looking!!
too bad it's not for sale..
Not sure if it's still there thou..
What the…come on….you guys gotta be joking. The car still look ugly. Please change styling designer maa. Still uncomparable with bimmer. A bit orientalist I might say. Merc has been my top range in terms of comfort and engines but in terms of exterior design..still need that umph in order to fight with Audi and BMW. If only I could test drive this new engine, I may write some comment about it…
well i like the coupe…the sedan looks abit too "uncle" for my taste lol…just wait for the new 5 series and see how they compare.
I've seen this car sometime now. There are less clutter on the dashboard.
well,new mercs are adopting BMW's flame surface & wedge design principles and they are applying it to their new cars…but it turned out to be a hot mess..lol…BMW ftw
Merc always manages to look indistinctly like a merc, even all these years
i tot the arc (curved surface) over the rear wheel of the coupe wont work
but in these pics, it looks just fine, the rear looks awesome, bet it looks even better in the flesh
i know it has nuthin to do with the new merc-e but everyone will be reading this section now
but its an interesting read…

Dang!
Now it looks more like a Honda Accord!
Recently saw this new E350 coupe AMG in Kuching with Brunei plate. Black colour and really striking. I stood and watched for 10 minutes with my mouth wide opened. The fierce looking exhaust is something to behold.

Hmm saw the coupe for real in singapore, Man no bimmer coupe comes close to its looks. Seriously even for a bimmer freak like me. Guys learn to look before making a baseless statement.
if you wanna see a 360 view from the wind tunnel test, here's the link. It's a beautiful car. Wonder how it drives..

i saw the e350 amg bodykit coupe car in kuching sarawak two month back and its the bomb
Test driven it the unit with the new 1.8L CGI engine. I would say very good fuel efficient and yet powerful. White colour is my favourite.
Hahaha..I was there in Carcosa…..n I did saw someone taking a picture unauthorised….hmmm
cant wait to repair da car…sure pening kepala…hahahahaha
Well Paul..next time u have to wear a face mask to snoop around. Make sure you wear one..coz we already marked your face.
i saw the exact car in kuching approximately 3 weeks ago….sigh…i was in a rush..so ididnt get to see the butt…grr
tail lamp look abit like facelift camry 2 me
how much would it cost? as long as G dont revamp NAP,
the price of Merc will always remained unreachable.
Sadly we are staying here.
I don't think the new W212 looks like Honda Accord.
It looks gorgeous, awesome and handsome.
The new E have been making its appearance on the latest Amazing Race as the designated car.
Are those LED DRLs on the bumper? Looks sweet. Mounted too low to be noticed though.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And I think its as good looking as Margaret Thatcher.
Both these cars look elegent, stunning and awesome!! This time we might see more E-class on the road rather than 5 series… Can't wait to see it on malaysian roads..
I was privileged to ride on one for two days when I was in Amsterdam last month. I must say the diesel variant was superb on the road. Up close, the rear is too much Camry for me. But I see this being a hot-seller anyway. It is a good, good car.
EEE EEE EEE the Class is there. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
