The quintessential Mercedes-Benz saloon since 1946 has been renewed.
El Class E is one of the models par excellence, with more than 14 million sedans and estate models delivered to their owners, is a vehicle in which generation after generation Mercedes boasts of its cutting-edge technology.
The changes regarding the exterior aesthetic part are focus on the front where the new E-Class has been given a new, more prominent grille with new rounder headlights than its predecessor.
For the rear, however, we have opted for some more elongated and horizontal pilots that make it wider.
En The interior of the new E-Class is where the most striking changes are found. The E Class debuts new generation of capacitive steering wheels, steering wheels that are capable of detecting whether the driver has both hands on them using the capacitive mat with two zones for sensors and says goodbye to buttons, adapting to Touch Control. System very similar to the buttons on the screen of a mobile phone.
Furthermore, the E-Class family remains unchanged with the Coupé, Cabrio, Estate and All-Terrain versions, variants that encompass all the customer's tastes.
As always and it could not be less, the Mercedes MBUX infotainment system with artificial intelligence accompanies the new E-Class with recognition of natural voice commands and display of GPS indications on the screen in augmented reality as we already saw in the new GLA SUV.
A part that goes unnoticed but has a lot of weight in terms of the interior design is how Mercedes has simplified the central Touch Pad, making it much thinner and more attractive to the eye.
La Electrification of the engines has also become visible in the E-Class Even the new 4-liter 2.0-cylinder (gasoline or diesel) has been equipped with a extra power thanks to its electric motor which delivers an additional 15KW, reaching a total figure of 272Cv and 200Nm of torque in combination with the combustion engine.
Also the Mercedes-Benz V6 engine for The E-Class has been replaced for the first time by a 6-cylinder engine inline that develops a total power of 435CV.
To all this, we must add that the new class It will also be available in the EQ Power range, that is, the range that Mercedes-Benz reserves for its plug-in hybrid vehicles. Mercedes-Benz is the only brand on the market that assembles in combination, diesel engines along with electric.
La offer of plug-in hybrid engines from Mercedes-Benz It ranges from 156 to 367 HP in the case of gasoline engines and from 150 to 330 HP in the case of diesel engines.
Going to another extreme, the most radical range of Mercedes, the AMG They will also equip the new E-Class as they have been doing for years. This time the E53 changes the front grille for the typical panamerican, new taillights, new rear bumper with diffuser, 19” or 20” wheels and the optional dynamic plus package that, among other things, increases the electronically limited top speed from 250 to 270 km/h.
The Mercedes-AMG E53 engine is a 6-liter, 3 HP inline 435 combined with a 9-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC traction. This model also has the help of an electric motor, which helps it have greater sporty behavior, going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4,5 seconds without losing the comfort of the luxurious sedan.
In short, the new E-Class still has its unrivaled attribute of a luxury sedan in any of its versions, be it Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes EQ Power or Mercedes-AMG.
