“A bridge between tradition and digitization. It was under this formula that Mercedes-Benz introduced the sixth generation of its E-Class midsize sedan a few days ago. In an effort to make it more desirable to technology-loving customers, the famous German jumped to feet together in this universe whose canvas is painted with pixels.
So beyond the conformist and classic exterior design, this E-Class wants to coax passengers with technology. The dashboard is essentially a large screen where large portions are touch sensitive. Unlike the Hyperscreen found in the EQS, this E-Class features a version called the Superscreen which marks a break in front of the driver with an independent instrumentation screen.
Unlike many new generations, this E-Class is the same format as the one it replaces, within a few centimeters. The brand with the star has nevertheless revised certain elements to enhance the rear space, increased on all measurement points.
Under the hood, two engines share the mandate while waiting for an AMG version. A 255 hp 2.0L four-cylinder turbo is standard, while a 3.0L six produces 375 hp. Both are equipped with a starter-alternator that can temporarily increase the power by around twenty horsepower. A nine-speed transmission and all-wheel drive are also standard. On the chassis side, this E-Class has the option of pneumatic damping as well as directional rear wheels.
On sale from the end of the year.
