this new interior looks better than the s class imo!! ...drooling

Don't care for the interior. I like buttons and knobs. W212 last of the most sensible dash. We have a w222 also and it shouldn't take multiple swipes to do simple tasks.

Exactly

Looks better in those shots, but still not enthused about the exterior. We'll see how close the real thing is to the design studio's renderings. Seats sure look comfy though!

Not sold on the sport trim body, too much like a blown up C, but the leaked shots of the elegance model (with bonnet mounted star) looked great, more like the S class.

Rendering looks terrific. They often look better than the actual product. First impression...I like it. It does look like big brother to C class, but that seems to be car makers trend lately.

There are numerous youtube vids of the new interior. Very glamorous IMO. However, I'm fairly certain that the "base" dash isn't all digital. The speedo and rev counter are analog. Digital is "a package".

Might have to have a "look see" because of all the new tech stuff available.

Holy mackrel. Hope that link posts. Pics of the W213 inside and out.

Those shots are definitely retouched but I'm pretty sure that's the actual car, leaked from Europe.,There was a red base car and a blue luxury version (with the hood star) in that photo series that look less processed.

Agree it can go either way in person. The new design has a lot of curves, contours and character lines, so a mid tone metallic that lets the light create gradients over the panels look best. Darker and non metallics make the car look blobby and dull.

They RUINED the headlights. The Lights on the C class and S class look sexy. Those lights look......ugly.

I wouldn't kick this out of bed

I don't know. Looks like they have revised the design layout again, moving the low beam inside. Not sure what the outer light is. I'll have to see the whole thing live.

That isn't a render, that is the real car.

There's likely a "light package" that upgrades those lamps (and adds illuminated door sills and ambient interior lighting).

There was something beautiful, elegant, and classy with the quad LED lights coming towards you at night. From the pictures, all I see is a single main headlamp.

Anyone with back shots (No pun intended) I can't seem to find any?

-=Hot|Ice=-

If that is the case, that is something I would option!

The interior does look extremely comfy. Will wait and see for the exterior though, still looks meh.

Settthhh

Yeah that interior is just sexay

Dont worry, the S headlights are changing in 2017 .

A pleasure it to see Mike is posting here too
Well, W213 will not become as standing out from the other MB as W212 does but still on the bright side I am glad MB Designers somehow seem to manage to keep LED headlamps so as to look like E Class just like they did in W212's post facelift versions

Mike5215

Yeah, it's $800 on the C but it triggers a lot of other stuff as well. If you do a C config the toggle is on the Exterior tab.

Here you go mate...

nice to see that shade of red covers those ridiculous reflectors.....which seem to be even higher this year....

Oh gosh, not sure I'm a fan of this change. The quad headlight look was beautiful if you ask me. I can't say I'm a huge fan of this recent change of going back to one single headlamp in each of the headlamp housings. The second housing on the right side doesn't look to be a 'main beam' headlamp.
