Mercedes-Benz New Zealand has announced the arrival of a limited run of E-Class Carbon and Night Edition models.
Both representing blacked-out editions of their respective models, the Night Edition is available on the E 300, while the Dark Carbon Edition is available on the range-topping AMG E 53.
Starting with the E3 00 Night Edition, in New Zealand it starts from $131,900, and wears 21-inch black alloy wheels.
It also features a handful of black panels both on the outside, and inside the sedan.
As the name suggests, the AMG E 53 Dark Carbon Edition does the same, except all these black panels are carbon fibre.
It starts from $204,900 in New Zealand, which represents around a $5,000 premium over the standard model.
Aside from the Dark Carbon elements, the E 53 offered locally comes specified with a plethora of optional AMG-specific equipment.
Both versions of this darkened E-Class are now available in New Zealand.
