With its muscular haunches, pillarless side windows and long, low stance, the new E-Class Coupé simply demands to be driven. Inspired styling elements include the distinctive V-shaped front end with its expressive twin headlamps and LED driving lights, which feature as standard on the Sport or as part of the optional Light Package on SE. A two-louvre radiator grille with prominent Mercedes star further enhances the car’s bold, assured presence.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe

E350 CDI Sport - Following hotly on the heels of the all-new Mercedes E-Class saloon comes the similarly all-new E-Class Coupe. Faithful to Mercedes’ B-pillarless design, this mid-sized, two-door Merc is for reasonably well-heeled empty nesters. But is it all a bit staid and predictable, or might there be a surprise [...]

5 star review

Having owned a series or Mercs, this is the car I have been waiting to drive. It’s responsive, subtle and comfortable. The auto is sometimes a little slow at the lights and junctions but as soon as the power feeds in, it is awesome. Metallic paint and a sensible colour is a must if you are worried about resale values. This car is impressive, more muscular than the Audi A5 and more refined than the Jag XF. If you only ever drive one merc - make sure its this one.

More refined than the Jaguar XF, I couldn’t disagree more. I own an XF 3.0d S and I’m replacing it with a sport coupe. They are quite different cars and obviously I like the Merc, but I would say the one thing it loses out to on the XF is refinement. The Merc engine is significantly harsher at low revs and the low speed ride is inferior. Agree with you on the sat nav, it’s hopeless and also not full postcode - Mike Hughes from Durham

To the poor guy who has the Jaguar XF, wait till you get the resale trade in price. Oh my god, you will never fall for that one again. The Merc is outstanding and looks great - Ernst Wehden from England

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe e350 sport coupe 2009

4 star review

I have just purchased the new e350 sport coupe.I loaded up with all the gadgets and paid just under 40k. Early impressions are good, the ride is comfortable and the steering responsive. It returns an impressive 35-40mpg but has the oomph to move when you switch to sports mode. I have the comand system fitted and have to say the sat nav is the most disappointing thing on the car, its so fiddly and doesn’t accept the last digits on a postcode, which is really annoying, it also cuts out when someone calls on the hands free system. But all in all I’m very happy and the car gets its fair share of looks as its still quite rare at the moment.

5 star review

Have not taken delivery of my E Class Coupe yet, but after a long test drive and much consideration (I currently have a CLS) I decided to go for it... I wanted something a bit sportier to both look at and to drive and the beefy looking coupe fitted the bill perfectly. The Sport model is a must I would say if your not totally driven by a need for a comfortable cruiser alone... The interior was excellent and much better to live with than my current CLS. I was impressed with the power and efficiency of the engine. It was great to drive at very impressive economy at around 50mpg on the motorways which is where i do most of my driving. Off the motorways it was very responsive in both steering and throttle response. Most of all it turned loads of heads wherever it went. Sunroof, metallic and Comand are a must so add at least £5k to the headline price. Shame about Mercs 10% apr finance on the Coupe though when its closer to 5 or 6% on other models, blatant opportunism and an attempt to rip off their most loyal clients. It will undoubtedly affect sales hugely. That aside it is a fabulous car and well worth a test drive.
