This article or section contains information about a scheduled or anticipated .
It is likely to contain information of a speculative nature, but is usually sourced from the automotive news media, automaker media press releases, or other news sources. The content and specifications for upcoming vehicles may change significantly as the vehicle nears production and more information becomes available. Upcoming automobiles are also subject to delays or even cancellation by the automaker.

Codenamed W212, the next-generation E-Class will arrive for the 2009 model year, with the estate version (codenamed S212) expected for 2010. Although not much information has been offered in regards to the upcoming fifth-generation E Class, sources are speculating an increase of around 20mm in length. That, combined with a redesigned interior, will offer a more spacious feel to the passenger compartment.

An all-new instrument cluster, along with S-Class night-vision technology and an updated Command system will highlight the interior changes.

Power-wise, it looks as if the full-range of Mercedes engines will be available, in diesel and petrol variants, although there may be limits in developing markets. The basic powerplant will consist of four-cylinder engines with the horsepower rating starting at 175bhp, followed by 6 and 8 Cylinders and the performance-built AMG variant.
