2024 Mercedes E-Class shows more skin, interior in new spy shots

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been spotted yet again in the wild, this time wearing significantly less camouflage than it did when we last checked in a year ago. As an extra bonus, our spy managed to get a couple shots of the new E's interior, and while it's still mostly covered, we can get a pretty good sense of what to expect from the next (and likely final) internal-combustion E-Class.

Even with the interior drapery in place, it's plain that the ICE-powered E-Class and the new all-electric EQE sedan will have very little in common apart from being in roughly equivalent size classes. The EQE's crisp slab of a dashboard is nowhere to be found in the E-Class prototype, which carries over the center contour design from the current car, albeit with a completely different dash layout; note that the climate control vents are tucked somewhere behind all that felt, rather than sitting prominently below the infotainment screen as they do in the outgoing model.
