2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class release date: new Estate and Coupe prototypes with less camo surface

Prior to the imminent release of the 2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class, more prototypes of the highly-anticipated executive car are spotted taking on the road before they are made officially available.

Mercedes Benz seems to be all set up to show off the good looks of its 2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class Estate. Another of the new model was once again spotted al fresco, with only its rear covered from prying eyes.

To be released by the end of the year, the 2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class Estate will be a breed of its E-Class Sedan counterpart and its C-Class predecessor. The vehicle predominantly adapted the design of the latter although its tail will look more like that of the former.

Although Mercedes-Benz has slowly been reducing the camouflaging while test-driving the 2017 E-Class, the brand won't reveal the complete design of the new Estate until the 2016 Paris Motor Show scheduled this October 1 to 16.

In other related news, just recently, a trio of the new 2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe (the two-door version) paraded with a Porsche 911.

However, it looks like users won't see the design of the new Coupe right now as it wore camouflage all over. This makes sense because it won't be available until next year.

The Mercedes-Benz's future E-Class lineup is deemed the "most technologically advanced" and "most intelligent." The selling point of the 2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class has to be its active safety features that are programmed to avoid accidents at all costs. 

For circumstances that are deemed difficult to escape, the 2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class will warn the driver's ear drums ahead of the impact. The car also comes with a Pre-Safe Sound feature, which makes use of the car's audio system.

When in use, it will instantly play a "short interference signal," which will activate the "Stapedius Reflex" of the drivers, ultimately preventing damage in the inner ears. With its Car-to-X communication feature, the 2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class can "see around corners and through obstacles to detect potential danger earlier than ever previously possible." 

Other safety features of the 2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class include advanced assistance systems like the Active Brake Assist with cross‑traffic function, Evasive Steering Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist.

As for the rest of what the 2017 Mercedes Benz E-Class is all about, customers are looking at a 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo engine and nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission.

Inside, entertainment will be provided by the Burmester high-end 3D surround sound system and the "best-in-class" 12.3-inch high-resolution display. Its steering wheel controls are touch and swipe-sensitive.
