W213 smaller than W212?

We are considering to trade in our C250 with a new 2017 E class. However it looks like the new W213 (exterior-wise) looks smaller than any of the previous generation E class. Can anyone confirm this? Also from the exterior look, I suppose that the suspension is more sporty tuned instead of focusing on the comfort of ride. Is that correct? Thanks!

Length wise the w213 is longer by a few inches. So it should the slightly larger or the same.

and wheelbase has been stretched and the overall vehicle has a shorter front and rear overhang. Space has been added to overall legroom.
