We have seen the upcoming E-Class in different disguises. Over time the car has been losing more and more of its disguise and now differences to the outgoing model are quite visible.

Mercedes will abandon SBC in favor of conventional brakes. These will come with features such as wet-weather disc wiping and wheel-selective cornering brake control. Optional ceramic-composite discs could be introduced on AMG models.

The next E‑class will ape the S-class’s wheel-arch extensions, rising character line below the door handles, massive bumpers, and greenhouse. A more sculpted wide-frame grille, the more geometric nasal air intakes, and the wedge-shaped profile should give W212 a sportier stance.

Driver assistance in general is a major theme for W212. Expect lane-departure warnings, an eye-movement monitor, traffic-sign identification, road-condition sensors, and stability control that accounts for crosswinds, camber changes, and tire wear. We’ll get the usual V6- and V8-engines, plus a normally aspirated, 500 plus hp. 6.3-liter V8 for the E63 AMG model.

All-new Mercedes E-Class, code-named W212 will make its debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.
