Mercedes E class 2024 new design focuses on entertainment

The new 6th generation luxury sedan has increased size, added technology, and added a plug-in hybrid powertrain option.

The new design of the 2024 E-Class is an evolution from its predecessor, incorporating styling elements from the S-Class and EQE - notably the new grille (optional backlighting) and gloss black trim. While the LED headlights and taillights are slimmer. The taillights feature a new star-shaped motif, inspired by the company logo.

The 2024 E-Class features optimized drag coefficients for improved aerodynamics, with 17- to 21-inch wheels available. The new mid-size sedan features hidden door handles and an active radiator grille that can be closed to reduce drag while reducing cooling requirements. Rear wheel steering of 4.5 degrees at speeds below 60 km/h and 2.5 degrees above 60 km/h. Airmatic air suspension with continuously adjustable dampers.

The new E-class's interior takes cues from the EQS and S-class. A large central screen powers the latest MBUX infotainment system. Two smaller screens flank the passenger and steering wheel. The new E-class is more software-oriented than hardware-oriented, offering more entertainment options like Angry Birds, Webex or Zoom conferencing apps, the Vivaldi browser, and the TikTok video platform.

The German automaker offers mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain options, equipped as standard with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Mild-hybrid models start with the rear-wheel-drive E 200 with a 201-horsepower 2.0-liter gasoline engine, combined with a 23-horsepower electric motor. The E 200d with a 194-horsepower 2.0-liter diesel engine, with the option of rear-wheel drive or 4Matic all-wheel drive.

The plug-in hybrid models can travel 120 km on electric power alone, thanks to a 25.4 kWh battery and supported by a 2.0-liter gasoline engine. The E 300e has 312 horsepower and the E 400e has 381 horsepower.

According to plan, Mercedes E-class 2024 will be on sale from September, price will be announced closer to the time.
