SPIED: C238 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe facelift spotted – A-Class inspired face, new OLED tail lights

It has only been two years since the C238 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe made its world debut, but the folks at Stuttgart already seem to be working on the facelift model, as seen with this minimally-camouflaged prototype.

One thing is clear – the Coupe will get the same new aesthetic as its stablemates, the W213 Sedan, S213 Estate and X213 All-Terrain. The front fascia gets a new trapezoidal radiator grille flanked by a new pair of LED headlights, and the LED DRLs take form in the shape of arrows, much like the W177 A-Class.

The most notable change is none other than the OLED tail lights, a distinctive design trait that was first seen on the bigger S-Class Coupe. The overall shape of the tail lights will likely remain the same – slim and sleek, now made even better with those gorgeous Organic LEDs.

Elsewhere, expect minimal changes to the interior as well as the powertrain. Mercedes-Benz has already updated the E-Class range with the latest engines, such as the 299 hp 2.0 litre mild hybrid turbo petrol in the E 350, as well as the new 320 hp E 300 e and 306 hp E 300 de plug-in hybrids, each boasting a pure electric range of 50 km on a full charge. Are you excited to see the production model?

    Only 2 years old but yet the engineers and designers are striving to give buyers the latest technology and advancement.

    We need to learn this method. Here, we launch car, the next 7 years goyang kaki. 7 years just lepak in factory or sleep during office hours. No desire to improve on the product. On 3rd yr, just give simple facelift.

    Learn from the Germans. Even after they launch a product, next day, they go back to the drawing board to improve on their newly launched car.
