Face Lifted W213......WHEN?
I’m sure this has been discussed many times, but I can’t find it. When will the face lifted E Class sedans be coming out? As a 2020 or a 2021? Thanks.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
Actually it is 7 years life cycle for E class (at least in the US - W210: 1996-2002, facelift 2000MY; W211: 2003-2009, facelift 2007MY; W212: 2010-2016, facelift 2014MY). So if E history to continue, then US W213 facelift should be in calendar year 2020 as 2021MY (meaning 2020MY in the US should be the same as 2019MY, keep in mind there were already a number of interior changes for 2019MY, steering wheel being the most noticeable). Europe is usually a year ahead.

It’s interesting that you mention changes to the 2019 model. I had a 2017 E300 loaner and was quite disappointed in the car. I felt the ride was harsh, the engine sound unpleasant and just an overall feeling that the car was a step below my wife’s 2016 E350 Luxury Sedan. Then, this past week, we had a 2019 E300 loaner and the car was decidedly better in all respects. It is amazing how much better the current run flat tires are over earlier examples. If we go with a new W213 for her (considering a new GLE), we will stick with the run flats. The engine sound appears to be better and the car just drove beautifully and it was a very basic model. I feel that a current W213 with AirBody Control, the Acoustic Comfort option and an upgraded interior would be quite a nice car, especially in E450 trim. That said, she hates the cookie-cutter look of the C, E & S models, so we are hoping for a change, especially to the tail lights when the face lift occurs.
This is a very interesting post, I personally felt that the MY19 E300 drove better than a MY18 as well. Of course, generally speaking we would say its the same car, but maybe they do still do minor tweaks that's not really published....?
