when would the 2020 be available ?
i'm up for a new lease soon, bu so far website still shows previous line..
I believe the above one will be the 2021 model to be released sometime this summer or fall, as the 2020 models have already hit the lots here and there’s no significant changes from the 2019s.
W212 M276 DELA 30 ; W211 M113k, W126 M117, W126 OM617, W211 OM642 ; R107 M117 X2, Sierra 1500 LZ0
Looks like they're attempting to address some of the ambiguous styling features that make it difficult to differentiate between the W205/W222/W213 . Note that the lights extend on to the trunk lid now (hidden by camo). The W212 facelift was extremely successful in my biased opinion, I think it will age much better than the pre-212 facelift. I've been watching this with interest because I figured my next car will be a M256 powered W213, but I really really do not like the current exterior styling.
There's a bunch of things I would call bad news:
- The dual screens are now both 10.25 inches instead of the current 12.3 inches (if you have the dual-screen option).
- The center screen real estate taken by Apple CarPlay is now much smaller (around 40% smaller, see attached picture), which is terrible (hope it can be configured somehow). One of my favorite features when using Carplay is the huge satellite overview of the navigation path from google maps
- The starless chrome grill in the luxury version seems to be flattened and widened, making it look like a design afterthought (but it may look better when unwrapped).
- The AMG-line steering wheel looks atrocious, but they claim it can be interchanged with up to 5 different designs. Hope MBUSA provides that flexibility.
On a positive note, the AMG-line power bumps in the hood for the sedan are a nice touch. I love having them in my coupé.
It kind of sucks not having MBUX in the current car, but design-wise I'm kind of happy I bought my car when I did...
Let's hope Geneva 2020 shows something better than this seems.
Yeah, I'm mostly intrigued by the headlights appearing to extend so deeply into the wings, perhaps a camo trick.
The grille itself looks like a slightly less stretched iteration of the CLS, more aggressive than elegant.

The 12.3 inch screens will be available as an option
If they would only update the damn front seats. I can’t get the headrest into a position that fits comfortably as the seat was designed for hunchbacks. Anyone with a straight posture will be bending his neck forward and slouching his shoulders. This seriously causes me aches and keeps me from purchasing an E class. If only I could transfer my S class seats over. I think a BMW 5 series is an inferior car but at least the seats are comfortable.

There are no seats like S class seats. Though I thought W212 E63 seats were pretty good.
I find them excellent, but we are all created a bit differently. (I have AMG sport seats)
I agree. I sat in an S-Class to decide whether I wanted the Active Multicontour seats with Massage, and decided I did not like the massage, and the seats felt no better. I'm very happy with my E's seats. Oh, and it is sooooo quiet with the Acoustic Comfort Package!

The 10.25 screens look a skosh taller than the current 12.3. Any word on that? (Android might fit)
I prefer the "solid" steering wheel. Reserve the right to change my mind after seeing it live, but I wonder if they did any market testing. Perhaps HQ doesn't care what MBUSA thinks.
The vertical bars in the lower front bumper are horrible. Hopefully part of the attempt to camouflage the changes.
