It has been a long time since the three-star brand released the current version of E-Class. For three years, the company has not launched a new E-Class, so it is about time that they do.

Sorry to disappoint you though, Mercedes-Benz ain’t giving us a 2012 or 2013 E-Class, because all they are doing right now is some facelift.

The famous executive sedan was snapped during its winter testing with a heavily camouflaged front, which means that it will have a major lift. Some news says that the front fascia will be influenced by the Concept A-Class, which means you can expect it to have modified headlamps, airdam and LED strips. The rear looks like it is almost the same as the current E-Class.

Again, this is just a facelift, Mercedes-Benz already said that the new E-Class will not be launched until 2015.
