Introduction of the New E-Class Coupé, Model Series 207
Dear reader,
This Introduction into Service Manual presents the
new E-Class coupé in model series 207.
The purpose of this brochure is to acquaint you with
the technical highlights of these vehicles in advance of
their market launch. This brochure is intended to
provide information for people employed in service,
maintenance and repair as well as for aftersales staff.
It is assumed here that the reader is already familiar
with the Mercedes-Benz model series currently on the
market.
In terms of the contents, the emphasis in this Intro-
duction into Service Manual is on presenting new and
modified components and systems.
This Introduction into Service Manual is not intended
as an aid for repairs or for the diagnosis of technical
problems. For such needs, more extensive information
is available in the Workshop Information System (WIS)
and in the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS).
WIS is updated monthly. Therefore, the information
available there reflects the latest technical status of
our vehicles.
The Introduction into Service Manual presents initial
information relating to the new E-Class coupé in
model series 207 and, as such, is not stored in WIS.
The contents of this brochure are not updated. No
provision is made for supplements.
We will publicize modifications and new features in the
relevant WIS documents. The information presented in
this Introduction into Service Manual may therefore
differ from the more up-to-date information found in
WIS.
All information relating to technical data, equipment
and options is valid as of the copy deadline in
January 2009 and may therefore differ from the
current production configuration.

Introduction of the New E-Class Coupé, Model Series 207
Vehicle concept
May 2009 will see the ECE market launch of the coupé
version of the new E-Class C 207. The USA market
launch will happen one month later in June 2009. As
each of these new coupés is launched, it will replace
the predecessor model series C 209.
With the new E-Class the customer will receive a new
sports coupé that embodies athletic, sporty, imposing
and passionate character traits with its new design.
The characteristics of the new design have been
realized by the following principal aspects of the new
E-Class coupé:
• Vehicle-specific proportions
• Striking lines
• Brand-specific coupé features

Dimensional concept
The dimensions of model series 207 differ significantly
from those of the predecessor model series 209.
The vehicle has grown in length by 46 mm, of which
45 mm are due to the longer wheelbase.
Not only does this substantial increase in wheelbase
allow the length of the interior compartment to be
enlarged, it also contributes towards further improving
the ride comfort.
The width of the car has also grown by 46 mm, while
the height of the vehicle has been reduced by 21 mm.
