2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class spotted near ARAI facility in Pune; to be launched on June 25

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been spied undisguised near the ARAI facility in Pune by the crew at Team-bhp. The undisguised vehicle is the E250 CDI variant and sports a red number plate. It is likely that the car is undergoing a final evaluation before its official launch in India on June 25. 

The car features most of the design language that was shown with the vehicle when it was unveiled at the 2013 Detroit Motor Show in January.  It has got a new grille, new headlight design that is now expected to be common across the German automaker’s entire range from this year onwards. They bumper design has also been revised and the LED daytime lamps have been integrated with the headlight assembly.

The German automaker has also revised the hood and the front bumper to give them a sharper and more imposing profile. At the back, there are some minor changes in the form of revised exhaust tips and a re-profiled tail lamp cluster. Inside, the 2014 E-Class has retained most of the design of its predecessor save for some changes to the dashboard and addition of an aluminium finish across the cabin.

The India spec E-Class is expected to be offered with the same set of mills as the current car; four petrol mills and three oil burners. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic in the diesels and a seven-speed automatic for the petrol variants.  

We expect that Mercedes-Benz will bring at least one AMG spec variant vehicle to Indian market when it launches the car at the end of the month. It will be priced slightly higher than the current model.
