With its coupe side aspect-no B-pillars and fully retractable side windows-the new E-Class Coupe is being presented as a sporty interpretation of the E-Class' dynamic design.

The model program includes two new 4-cylinder engines, which use up to 17 percent less fuel with an increase in performance and torque. The new E-Class Coupe's standard-fit agility control suspension adjusts automatically to the current driving situation. 

The new Coupe offers technical innovations such as selective damper control, drowsiness detection, and preventive occupant protection. As a feature specific to the Coupe, the Dynamic Driving package allows different suspension setups such as Adaptive Main Beam Assist, road sign recognition, and an automatic emergency braking system.
