We don’t know if the E-Class coupe is going to add volumes to Mercedes in India

Mercedes Benz will launch its E-Class Coupe in India today morning. The function will take place in Mumbai. The E-Class Coupe was showcased at the Auto Expo in January.

The new E-Class Coupe will use the current E350‘s engine. The E Coupe is expected to cost around Rs. 10 lakh more than the sedan.

It costs 10 lakh more but has only two doors. Is that unfair?

Not really. You get to enjoy an open-air theater like experience with that 3.5-liter V6 growl. That makes this car an orchestra on wheels.

Fully retractable side windows, sports radiator grille, bigger wheels, 3-spoke steering wheel, sports seats are on the options list. We’ll get you more details as soon as the launch happens. Stay tuned.

Alongside the sedan variant, the 2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe is being displayed at Mercedes Benz stall in this year’s Geneva Motor Show. The E-Class Coupe might not make it to India even as a limited edition, but then, it doesn’t matter to us.

The 2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe is a much anticipated replacement to the aging CLK Coupe, which has been falling against newbies like the Audi A5 and E92 BMW 3-series Coupe.
