That is a 2016 E400 W213. The OP posted it where it belongs.
FYI the W213 model was produced from 2016 to the present.
The US has a bad habit of setting model years in the future sometimes by 8-10 months of when vehicles are actually produced and sold.

No. This is not a W213. This car was probably produced in 2015 and sold in the US market (although OP does not specify location) as a 2016.

ROW had switched to W213 by 2016.

I concur this forum is not where this car belongs as it is definitely not a W213. But it is a beautiful W212 nonetheless.

My apologies. The difference can be seen in the lower air scoops in the W213 image.

W212 ends in 2016 and W213 starts in 2016.... both cars are produced that year. If you own a W213(or know how it looks) then you can see that OPs car is clearly a W212

the year is not what defines a model... its how it looks

I have a W213 from may 2016... I know how it looks

2016 W213
the whole car is different... not just the air scoops, there is not one bodypanel, part or anything that is the same.

What defines a model is when MB decides to change over. What year it was produced is irrelevant. Acura is selling a 2022 mdx. Actually surprised the OP didn’t know that.
