A new S-Class is out, and a new C-Class is in, which means the next generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class has entered testing. The middle child of Mercedes-Benz’s rear-wheel-drive\/four-wheel-drive sedan trio has been spotted undergoing snow testing ahead of its expected release in time for 2024.<\/p>\n
The design language of the W214 E-Class is evolutionary, and, as expected from a Mercedes-Benz sedan, there is a strong family resemblance with other model lines, in this case, the C-Class and the S-Class.<\/p>\n
The sides appear to showcase cleaner details, as has become common with redesigned Mercedes models, while the seen prototypes feature flush-fitting door handles.<\/p>\n
The headlights seem to be larger and more angular, and the grille appears larger and lower, taking on a more shield-like shape.<\/p>\n
A range of 48V semi-hybrid turbo-petrol and turbo-diesel propulsion systems is expected, along with plug-in hybrid options.<\/p>\n
The current W213 model received a facelift for 2021 that visually aligned it with the redesigned S-Class and E-Class, at least externally.<\/p>\n
Where the W214 will likely see its most substantial visual change is in the cabin, and the redesigned model is expected to adopt a vertically styled touchscreen infotainment system like its smaller and larger siblings.<\/p>\n
The C-Class offers a choice of 9.5 or 11.9-inch screens and digital instrument clusters of 10.25 or 12.3 inches, while the S-Class comes with a 12.8-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital cluster. Both run on a new generation of Mercedes’ MBUX system.<\/p>\n
It is unclear whether the E-Class will follow the smaller C-Class in offering only four-cylinder powertrains both in the mainstream lineup and the AMG E-Class.<\/p>\n
Currently, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is available with a selection of three turbocharged four-cylinder engines, one of which is coupled with a plug-in hybrid system.<\/p>\n
However, moving up to the AMG range offers a turbocharged inline-six engine in the E53 and a twin-turbo V8 in the E63.<\/p>\n
Turbocharged diesel engines, phased out in 2021, remain available in Europe. The E450 has also been discontinued, though it continues to be available in Europe, now featuring a turbocharged inline-six instead of the previous twin-turbo V6.<\/p>\n
The E-Class will soon have company in the middle of the Mercedes-Benz sedan lineup in the form of the EQE.<\/p>\n
With a radically different silhouette from the more conventional E-Class, along with the option of Mercedes’ massive new MBUX Hyperscreen, the EQE rides on a dedicated electric platform. It is due here in the second half of 2022.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
