Earlier in January 2015, Steve Cannon, Mercedes-Benz  U.S. CEO revealed that the company was mulling a Mercedes-Maybach treatment on the next-gen E-Class. 8 months later, the car has finally been spied on test in Europe.

The test mule is heavily camouflaged. It seems to have a longer wheelbase compared to the current-gen E-Class. It sports the signature Maybach grill and headlamps which appear similar to the MM S-Class. Even the front bumper and alloy wheels are brand new. The rear profile shots do indicate that it appears similar to the 2015 S-Class with trapezoidal twin muffler tips. It has a panoramic roof too.

These are the first images of the car being spotted and more details on the interiors or engine options are not known.

This car will fill the gap between the E-Class and the 2015 S-Class (which at the moment is wide). Also, it will be the first time that the Maybach brand will be associated with another car from the Mercedes stable apart from the flagship S-Class.
