There can be no argument that the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a handsome sedan, but some changes are underway to make the 2013 model more striking.
Mercedes-Benz is giving their E-Class wagon a facelift. The 2013 model year wagon will sport a single headlight styling instead of the previous year's split design. This should provide a sleeker look and they will feature the integrated LED daytime driving lights which make the move up from the front bumper.The front bumper along with the rear bumper will both be revised by the German automaker as well, with the rear receiving new graphics for the taillights.
Even though this test mule is caught in the wagon form the design changes will be passed on to all other variant's, expect this model to be launched by this year end and we can hope the same to be launched on our shores by mid 2013.

The lower front fascia has two air scoops which look aggressive. It also includes a radar-based collision control system and a 3D stereo multi-purpose camera which can detect objects at a distance of up to 1650 feet. Amongst the engine options, there is a 4-cylinder 193PS diesel engine which will be mated to the 4-Matic all-wheel drive system. The German automaker has incorporated minor changes at the back by including new exhaust tips and a re-profiled tail lamp cluster. The standard E-class range will be provided with just one petrol engine in two states of tune. The turbocharged 2.0-litre unit is accessible with 181bhp in the E200 and 208bhp in the E250. A third petrol option will also be included in the forthcoming E63 AMG, which is said to be offered with an additional increase over the 518bhp of the current twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8. Two carried-over diesels is also planned to be offered, which will be a 2.1-litre four-cylinder with 134bhp in the E200 CDI, 168bhp in the E220 CDI and 201bhp in the E250 CDI, and a 3.0-litre V6 with 248bhp in the E350. The revised E-class will also come with new safety systems which will include a radar-based collision warning system and Collision Prevention Assist. Distronic Plus with Steering Assist and Brake Assist Plus with Junction Assist are the new improved optional systems included.![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
Whether or not the all-wheel drive version will come to India is still not clear.
