Scoop: 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Cabriolet gets Single Headlamps, Keeps "Pontoon" Fenders

|

The new front-end with single (instead of quad) headlamp units seen on a completely naked version of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG sedan parked outside a hotel in Madrid last month, will also decorate the fascia of the rest of the E-Class family that includes the Estate (station wagon), Coupe and Convertible models.

However, that was to be expected. What we weren't sure about was whether Mercedes-Benz would also eliminate the so-called "Pontoon" style fenders on the two-door models, as it did on the revamped sedan.

Judging by these scoop shots of the convertible as well as previous photos of coupe prototypes, the two-door models of the E-Class series will keep the sculpted rear fenders intact, while changes at the rear end will focus a redesigned bumper and new graphics for the tail lamps.

The interiors of all E-Class models will gain better materials and possibly some styling modifications to the dashboard.

As for the mechanical hardware, we expect Mercedes to make improvements to the efficiency of the E-Class' engines and transmissions.

Not sure how I feel about the single headlamp. The dual headlamps are something that really catch my eye when I look at the current model.

They managed to make the "four eyes" the E-Klasse's distinctive mark for the past 15-20 years and now they're ditching that... :(

I completely agree. I aways thought the quad headlights were a staple of the E class and I liked it..
