2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan
Along with the sedan discussed herein, the E-Class is available in wagon, coupe and convertible bodystyles, as well as a high-performance E63 AMG derivative. Not all models are based on the most latest iteration of the E-Class platform, which is fresh for this model year.
While it proceeds to feature a formal roofline and a traditional three-box sedan form, the E-Class has been updated with a number of stylistic revisions that give it a more-eye catching appearance than before.
Two different front-end treatments are available – the old-school Luxury model wears an elegant three-slat grille with a puny Mercedes emblem protruding from the rubber hood, while the Sport variant receives a more aggressive two-slat unit with an oversized, grille-mounted badge. Sport models also use an AMG-designed bod kit and sit on a stiffened and lowered suspension.
Inwards, things are as plush and refined as ever, with generous amounts of wood and chrome trim creating a decadent environment. Notable fresh touches include a revised steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls and, on up-trim models, a 12.3-inch display cluster in place of traditional gauges.
Mercedes' COMAND infotainment system remains; managed either by voice guidelines, a central knob or steering wheel-mounted controls, it integrates the sedan's audio, navigation and Bluetooth-based connectivity functions into a single unit – a 2nd 12.3-inch display screen mounted on the dashboard.
An optional mbrace system adds a host of cloud-based goodies, including a concierge service, location-based traffic and weather updates, stolen vehicle location assistance, automatic collision notification and more. Available apps add internet browsing, Google local search with street view, Yelp reviews, Facebook access and news reports. Owners can even use an mbrance smartphone app to remotely lock, unlock or locate their E-Class.
A broad multitude of optional extras can be spec'd to enhance the E-Class practice, including premium Nappa leather upholstery, heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, a 14-speaker Harman/kardon surround sound system and a rear seat movie entertainment system.
The only engine presently available in the E-Class is the Two.0L, turbocharged four-cylinder. This unit substitutes the old direct-injected Three.5-liter V6 as it has in many of Mercedes-Benz’s other fresh models. The fresh engine makes two hundred forty one horsepower and, despite the apparent downsizing, the fresh four-pot actually makes more torque than the old V6—273lb-ft.
The E-Class is suggested both in rear-wheel drive and 4Matic all-wheel drive configurations. Both are paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Mercedes offers the E-Class with both Luxury and Sport packages – as one would expect, Luxury models feature comfort-focused suspension tuning, while a tauter setup is used for the Sport. Updates to both result in a slightly firmer rail with better assets control, albeit the E-Class remains more of a coddling cruiser than a sport sedan.
Standard and Optional Features
Notable standard features include a power sunroof, real wood trim, MB Tex leatherette upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, power adjustable front seats with lumbar adjust and memory, genuine wood trim and a Instruction infotainment system with a 12.3-inch display screen and integrated navigation.
Despite the limited powertrain offerings at release, there is no lack of optional features available on the E-Class for those seeking an extra touch of luxury.
