![Evolutionary approach for Mercedes E-Class](https://cdn.magzter.com/Auto Express/1682497251/articles/6svmCNpg-1682677767558/EVOLUTIONARY-APPROACH-FOR MERCEDES-ECLASS.jpg)
- All-new model revealed
- MHEV and plug-in options
Every powertrain available in the new E-Class is electrified, following the example set by the facelifted GLE SUV. However, unlike the forthcoming 5 Series, there's no all-electric version; that alternative is provided by the similarly sized EQE model.
When it comes to design, the new E-Class is an evolutionary step over its predecessor. It incorporates styling elements from the S-Class and EQE models - especially the new-look grille (which can be backlit as an option) and gloss-black surround. Slimmer LED headlights and tail-lights the latter featuring a threepointed star signature - also feature.
The latest E-Class has grown in every direction, resulting in more room inside, according to Mercedes. The boot capacity remains 540 litres for combustion-engined models and 370 litres for PHEV cars.
A drag coefficient of 0.23Cd should help boost efficiency, and for a further lift, the car's wheels (ranging from 17 to 21 inches, depending on spec) are aerodynamically optimised. The latest E-Class also features flush-fitting door handles and an active radiator grille, which can close to reduce drag when cooling requirements are reduced.
Cementing the E-Class's image as a luxury-focused choice in the executive segment, a lot of the new car's tech is inspired by the larger S-Class. The big news is the E-Class's optional 'Superscreen' dash. It's essentially a smaller version of the Hyperscreen seen in the EQS and S-Class, and is powered by the latest MBUX infotainment. The design is similar, with a large central screen and two panels either side for each front occupant.
Safety systems include active blind-spot and brake assist, while the E-Class is now available with automated valet parking.
