Seven other models also are on offer: the E 300 e AMG Line Edition saloon plug-in hybrid, priced from £46,230; the saloon and estate versions of the E 300 de AMG Line Edition, from £47,480 and £49,480 respectively; the Mercedes-AMG E 53 4Matic saloon (£64,750) and estate (£66,750); and therefore the Mercedes-AMG E 63 4 Matic+ saloon (£98,370) and estate (£100,370).
The new E-Class is offered with four instrumentality trims, spanning the entry-level Sport, AMG Line, AMG Line Premium, and range-topping AMG Line Night Edition Premium plus.
The company has released the fifth-generation E-Class a refresh, with revised styling, new electrified engines, and a lot of interior comfort and technology, in a bid to take the fight to rivals similar to the Audi A6.
The current version of the long-running executive automobile was launched in 2016, and for this facelift, the saloon and estate versions have received refined styling tweaks. These embrace new-look front and rear lights and bumpers and a grille that features a three-pointed star as standard. Cars within the AMG Line specs gain extra style revisions to bring their styling closer to it of Mercedes-AMG models like the E53. The rugged All-Terrain estate version has received further changes that tighten the visual links between it and Mercedes’ SUVs.
The external changes are minor, Mercedes has widely reworked the E-Class’s electronics, permitting the firm to supply a number of new driver assistance systems, ‘energizing’ comfort seats, and its latest infotainment technology. The E-Class currently comes as customary with 2 10.25in screens, for the MBUX infotainment and instrumentation, with 12.3in screens optional.
A new steering wheel design, that features capacitive touch controls, is offered in 3 varieties and is about to be introduced across the firm’s range.
The revised engine line-up includes seven petrol and diesel plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants across the saloon and estate body designs, variously providing rear- and four-wheel drive. Outputs for the PHEVs vary from 154bhp to 362bhp for the petrol units and 158bhp to 326bhp for the diesel.
Other engine choices include the four-cylinder M254 mild-hybrid petrol unit, along with six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, all of that now feature a 48V starter/alternator electric motor.
Reveals of the saloon and estate are followed this year by that of the revised coupe and cabriolet, and a China-only long-wheelbase saloon.
