Mercedes-Benz is currently developing the next model of the "E-Class". Some details of the new car are exposed, and the side sieve, rear triangle windows, hood and other disguises are scraped off, and the commercial body is exposed for the first time.
In addition, in the front part, the design of LED daytime running lights is clearly visible due to the removal of camouflage around the headlights. The grille with a large and prominent single strip is slightly narrower, and the contour of the corner air intake is slightly visible. The appearance is similar to the current model, but it will become the latest design shared by the "C Class" through connection with the slender opening under the grille.
On the side, you can see the sharp wheel arch and the recessed door handle. The virtual character line that jumped to the rear in the previous prototype has been removed and a flat line is exposed. There is a charging port above the rear fender, which may be equipped with plug-in hybrid system . At the rear of the car, you can also see the tailgate with a stronger three-dimensional feeling.
interior is expected to be similar to the new C and S class, equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and vertical infotainment system. The latter size is undeterminable, but the C-Class has 9.5-inch and 11.9-inch displays, the S-Class has 12.8-inch displays, and the E-Class has the same size.
The expected powertrain is a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine that uses mild hybrid technology to produce a maximum output of 258ps and 400N·m of torque. In addition, the new car may also be equipped with an improved 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engine, which can provide a maximum output power of 320ps and a maximum torque of of 520N·m. PHEV is expected to provide a total system output of 313ps.
The next generation E-class sedan is expected to be launched globally in early 2023, followed by the high-performance AMG version.
