2009 Mercedes E Class Coupe Facelift Car Review and Specs | 2009 Mercedes E Class Coupe Facelift Car Wallpaper Pictures Pics

Their compelling elegance, exclusivity and charisma have made them highlights of the Mercedes-Benz model line-up for over 70 years: the coupÃ©s with the three-pointed star on the bonnet have always exerted a special fascination. They epitomise all that a refined, sporty car should be, their technology, aesthetics and appointments forming a stylish and harmonious whole. They are cars for people who believe in making their dreams come true.

Mercedes coupÃ©s have always been offered in a number of different vehicle categories - and in different forms. There have been city coupÃ©s, touring coupÃ©s, combination coupÃ©s, sports coupÃ©s Â¦ For all their differences, these two-door models had one important factor in common: the Stuttgart-based firm has always made a point of creating coupÃ©s which are much more than just saloon models with a shorter rear section. In fact, Mercedes coupÃ©s have always been clearly identifiable as distinct models in their own right - as automotive personalities with their own charisma and their own character. It is this recipe for success that has made all Mercedes coupÃ©s, past and present, automotive classics which are sought-after collector's items.

Sporty and elegant two-door models have occupied a permanent place in the mid-range model series - today's E-Class - since 1967. It was in that year that Mercedes-Benz launched the coupÃ© version of the W 114 model series which meant that customers in this traditionally high-volume segment could now choose a car with a highly distinctive character. This CoupÃ© was followed by the "C" models of the W 123 (1977) and W 124 (1987) model series and finally the CLK (1997).

The new Mercedes two-door model, which reaches the market in May 2009, follows in the tracks of its successful predecessors and represents a technical and stylistic high point in the history of the E-Class coupÃ©s. Although the new model continues to emphasise its own, distinct identity, the genes of the Saloon stand out more prominently than ever and establish a closer relationship between the two models. This connection is underlined by the reappearance of the "E" in the model designation.

The status and commanding, confident presence which typify the new E-Class are also obvious characteristics of the two-door model. Although the CoupÃ© shares the Saloon's more pronounced, masculine look as well as its design idiom which acts as a statement of power, it complements these qualities with its own attributes to create a concept with even greater emotional appeal. Both models are unrivalled for the high standard of their technology. With trend-setting safety systems such as the ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness warning system, PRE-SAFEÂ® anticipatory occupant protection, Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Speed Limit Assist and PRE-SAFEÂ® automatic emergency braking, the new two-door model boasts features which put the E-Class in pole position - not just in its own segment, but among luxury-class coupÃ©s, too.

The passion people feel for a Mercedes coupÃ© is aroused above all by the design - the lines, the colours, the choice of materials and appointments. Take the fully retractable side windows, for example: to see them slide down and provide an unobstructed view of the interior as the outside world and the inside of the vehicle merge into a harmonious whole is just one example of how the compelling Mercedes coupÃ© experience appeals to the emotions.

The new E-Class CoupÃ© sends the driver's pulse even higher when it's out on the road and its sporty, attractive looks are matched by its youthful, character - a character that is defined by sporty handling, responsive agility and impressive power delivery. These qualities are a consequence of features such as the newly developed suspension with selective damper control, the more direct steering ratio and the new, more powerful engines which are more economical than their predecessors.

Complemented by other characteristic Mercedes qualities - especially the outstandingly high E-Class standards of safety and comfort - these attributes create an ideal basis for delivering an extremely high degree of driving enjoyment.

The successful Mercedes coupÃ© vehicle concept is matched by the high-specification equipment line-up which Mercedes-Benz has put together for the new two-door model and which meets the same high standards of exclusivity and individuality set for all other aspects of the E-Class CoupÃ©.
