Pic. 1.1. New models have an unconventional appearance for Mercedes - four round headlights
On the front of the car (pic. 1.1) instead of the rectangular headlights typical of Mercedes, oval slanting twin headlights are installed, which are distinguished by their beautiful design. They make the appearance more attractive, create an original «face».
In profile, the body of the car has a silhouette that is more characteristic of a coupe than an executive sedan. This silhouette fits well with the dynamic shape of the front end, and at the same time the bodywork has the familiar Mercedes design. The design of the pillars is also typical for Mercedes.
A-pillar. Thanks to the gently rising windshield, the A-pillar maintains the characteristic dynamism of the coupé body, leading to a relatively short roof and a long rear window.
B-pillar. It serves as a formal link and, thanks to its black lacquered trim, creates the impression of a seamless knot between the side windows.
C-pillar. It has a reinforced structure. Thanks to its expressive shape, it creates a smooth transition to the rear of the car.
Pic. 1.2. Mercedes E-class car (side view)
The relatively short roof, as well as the rear window of the new Mercedes E-Class, which smoothly merges into the trunk, which seamlessly connects to the C-pillars, give the car body a coupe-like appearance (fig. 1.2).
