It's very similar, and at first glance basicly the same. But put the 3er and 5er interior side by side, you you see it instantly
Don't worry about it

Also, that 3er interior is pre-facelift

In fact quite a few of the rear seat dimensions seem to have actually decreased in this w212, which I'm finding very difficult to understand. The only real improvment over the w211 is width of the rear accomodations.
What are you talking about? The cabin space has increased in all ways possible. No reverse engineering has been made here. Rather then enlarging the body of the car MB has mostly focused on efficiency, making best possibly use of the space in side the car.

The new 7er has about the same dimensions as the S-class but yet offer a bigger boot and a more spacious interior. Exterior dimension isn't everything.

Luw, have a look at the dimensions of the rear seat, granted that one key dimension is missing on the new sketch.

Re: Official E-class Pics Leaked! (Interior + Exterior)
The rear seat is 4 cm shorter in the W212, but the legroom probably has increased quite a bit.

Conclusion: most likely, they don't want any fat asses in the new E.

Yeah I saw that one before. Hopefully the dimension isn't there because MB have something to hide. As a taxi car it would be devastating if the leg room in the rear has shrunk as the E is a very popular VIP car.

Exactly. Why have they ommited the figure. Conveniently? And more importantly why have any of the rear seat dimensions decreased in any case. The seat base size is down 0.4cm (not 4cm Klier) and the distance from the seat base to the floor is down 1.2cm. This is not good. That one key dimension that they have ommited would give the complete story.

If there was one area the w211 lacked, it was rear seat space. I would have expected a nice improvement in rear seat space, and at worst no change. MB's trump card after all is COMFORT!

Re: Official E-class Pics Leaked! (Interior + Exterior)
Guys, I don't know or care about those numbers....all I know is that the new E will have more space than the old E. Period. 100%.

One thing is for the, the not-so-tall Chinese people will definitely beg for a long wheel base version.

Re: Official E-class Pics Leaked! (Interior + Exterior)
Well I would have to saw that this car doesn't WOW me.

Yes, it is a Mercedes-Benz, but the over all shape is not a good as the S-class or even the C. The interior looks fantastic, but everything from that rear seats (exterior) on takes nasty turn.

Maybe seeing it in person might help, but I doubt it. I'd still rather the S or the 2010 CLS. Seems like this design was rushed.

Interior = A+
Exterior = C+
