These are the first pix of the upcoming W212 Mercedes-Benz E-Class facelift, which have surfaced online today. Expect an official reveal really soon. Both the sedan and wagon models are shown, and there’s also one shot of the interior.
As expected from the teaser video shown earlier, the split headlamp design has now been fused together to a single unit. The shape of the headlamps reminds me of the W220 S-Class, but it has alot of light bars internally to replicate the twin-headlamp shape of the pre-facelift model. These light bars function as daytime running lights, so there’s no need for DRL Lights on the bumper.
The most significant change for the side is the removal of the hump over the rear wheels. The side view is alot more streamlined now. There are two shoulder lines, with one going through the door handles and another beginning from the rear tail lamp. Both of them run parallel along each other on the rear door.
The tail lamps have also been revised to use light bars for illumination, replacing the previous individual LED illumination.
The touring model in this initial photo set shows a much more aggressive face than the sedan, so this could be what the facelifted AMG Sport Package looks like.
The interior photo is also in this small set so please enjoy the pictures below.
