Bigger and More Spacious

The new E-Class, codenamed the ‘214’, is bigger than its predecessor, with a 20mm longer wheelbase that has translated into better interior space. The updated version of the firm’s MRA architecture has clear echoes of the all-electric Mercedes EQ sedans and the imperious S-Class. The car comes with a large and upright grille, quad headlights, clean surfacing, and horizontal tail-lights featuring 3D three-pointed stars. The new E-Class has a drag coefficient of 0.23 Cd thanks to its sleek bodywork and flush-fitting door handles. It also offers a boot space of 540 liters, except for the plug-in hybrid models, which have a slightly smaller boot space of 370 liters.

Technology at Its Best

The E-Class has always been about spoiling its occupants, and the new model is no different. The Overseas, the MBUX Superscreen is available as an optional feature, which includes three screens integrated behind a contoured glass panel on the dashboard. The Superscreen incorporates two screens under a single, unified glass panel, featuring one center-mounted screen measuring 14.4 inches and another screen facing the front passenger.

Moreover, Mercedes-Benz has included a ‘selfie’ camera on top of the dashboard to enable passengers to take part in Zoom/Webex meetings (only when the vehicle is stationary) and capture memories during their journeys. The MBUX system incorporates artificial intelligence to automate select comfort-oriented functions, which occupants can link to specific conditions, such as seat heating and active ambient lighting.

Advanced Powertrain Options

The latest E-Class model is now available in a range of engine options, both petrol and diesel, with four and six cylinders. These engines are paired with a hybrid electric system. The four-cylinder choices, including the E200, E220d, and E220d 4MATIC, come with a mild-hybrid system that offers an additional 23 bhp and 205 Nm of torque using the ‘Boost’ function.
