When compared to typically equipped 2009 E-Classes, the 2010 E350 offers an almost 10% improvement in value! This is a great time to order to get an early vehicle equipped just like you want it!
2010 E350 Sedan $48,600 – $4600 less than the 2009 E350
2010 E350 Coupe $48,050 – $50 less than the 2009 CLK350
2010 E550 Sedan $56,300 – $5400 less than the 2009 E550
2010 E550 Coupe $54,650 – $2150 less than the 2009 CLK550
These prices reflect a desire to stay competitive within the current marketplace. Additionally, the residual value for all four vehicles is up substantially. Option pricing has not yet been released. Expected retail release date for the 2010 E-Classes is now “towards the end of June.”
There are some new colors coming for the 2010 E-Class. I haven’t yet seen them in person yet but I was able to get the official paint chips from Mercedes-Benz. Quartz Blue will be available on the Sedan and Coupe. Pearl Beige is for the sedan only. The Natural Beige/Black interior is a Full Leather option available on the Sport Sedan only.

These are the first official pictures of the 2010 E-Class Coupe that is due to arrive in the US this summer. It strongly resembles the 2010 E-Class sedan that is due around the same time. It has the same twin-headlamp design, “pontoon” reminiscent rear-end and received the same much needed technology upgrade to the navigation and entertainment systems. It will continue to have the stunning B-pillarless side windows that have always been my favorite part of the CLK coupe. For this new model they have taken that one step further with the addition of the panoramic roof.
The E-Class Coupe will have the lowest drag coefficient of any production vehicle at just .24. This low drag will help the E-Class coupe to be more fuel efficient. We are expecting to receive the 3.5 liter V6 and the 5.5 liter V8 in the US, although several other diesel engines will be available in Europe.
While a coupe isn’t practical for everyone, this is going to be a gorgeous vehicle that deserves strong consideration if 2 doors are enough for you! Look for the official debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March and then the New York Auto Show in April.
The slideshow below contains the first official pictures of the 2010 E-Class Coupe. Please contact me if you want to secure your spot on Atlanta Classic Cars’ waiting list for this new vehicle.
