Don't like it et all...
As many said the rear looks like a lot of other cars we see every day, but even the front looks sad to me, reminds me on the early 2000's Elantra's or so. I am not a huge fan of the current generation either as the proportions just don't seem right.. the previous generation 2016 and before had elegance and brand identity.

I think I'm the only one who cannot stand the W212 facelift....I just feel that the front and rear don't mesh well...I do like the preface lift W212....my favorite body styles of all E Classes are the W211 and W124. It's funny to read all the comments about the 213 rear end looking more "Asian." The same comments were said back in 09 for the then new W212.

I had a 2012 E wagon, and truth be told I really didn't care for the ponton style fender line. Then I got a 2019 E Wagon Luxury and think it is the superist looking wagon I can imagine. The 2021 looks like a lesser vehicle to me. Glad to have what I've got for a long long time, an that doesn't even reach the question of the all terrain trim. Yuck.

Some pictures of the facelifted E63. Front still looks somewhat handsome, but the back looks weak...

I definitely agree with you. I have a 2017 E and the fascia identity that it possesses on the road lets everyone know it's an E from far and even up close.
I am hoping with the next complete redesign they implement strict E Class identity. I believe it's hard to tell what anyone is driving now with these new models bc the design language is identical.

IMHO the Luxury Styling doesn’t save it. The back still looks enemic , as does the C pillar in particular. The shape of the grill opening looks forced and ungraceful . I hope the production models have a different grill opening for the luxury styling and MB does not try to use just one opening. The grill on the All Terrain is the worst of the three. Simply lifted from the SUVs.

I guess I will have to wait and see it in person, I remember when W212 first came out in 2009 I thought it looks horrible and even reminds me Hyundai,
but when I see one in the right color it's the best looking sedan I ever see.

wow, didnt know you can extend a lease by a full year. I knew they allowed month to month, if you are waiting for your next car to come in. The new C class might be out by then as well, should be much newer inside and out compared to the e facelift.
