The new dash will feature a centrally mounted color screen, but, like the S, there’ll also be a smaller unit located in the dash between the speedo and tachometer. The central control module and steering wheel uses a similar design to the ones used in the new C-class, and the side mirrors will also pick up the same integrated indicators.
The new E-class should make its official debut at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show with the first cars likely to hit showrooms soon after. The wagon version should arrive less than a year after the launch of the sedan, as will the new E63 from AMG.
