SPY: The 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift (W 212) comes into focus

Mercedes-Benz is prepping its range of executive models for a radical rehaul in 2013. First prototypes were lately spotted in Sweden, a familiar sight during this period of the year. This facelift will mark the return of the single-unit headlights, as the German designers seem to have given up the quad lamp arrangement of the last generations beginning with W 210. The heavily camouflage front end is also hiding a new radiator grille, with a more pronounced styling, and a new set of air intakes to let the engine breath more fresh air. Changes at the back will be just minor and will consist of a new inner design for the tail lights following a repositioning of the LEDs inside them. However, expect to see some important changes inside as the dashboard must keep up the pace with the latest trends. COMAND Online and the complete array of safety assistants is on the list, as well as a consistent range of petrol and diesel engines with greater efficiency and more power.
