Mercedes-Benz is preparing to launch the next-generation E-Class. The automaker is redesigning the entire model lineup, including the hotter AMG variants. We have new spy photos that capture the AMG E53 Estate wagon cold-weather testing near the Arctic circle, with the company continuing to hide the new design.
The wagon still wears a tight-fitting wrap across the body and cladding at the front to distort the shape. It appears the automaker is trying to hide the E53's large bumper intakes and lower grille opening. All the perforations in the cladding at the front are there for something more than looks. The next-gen E-Class should inherit design cues from the S-Class.
