Mercedes-Benz E-Class Images Leaked

Kuala Lumpur: Ahead of its debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz E-Class images have leaked online. Currently running in the fifth generation, this new model has also got a prefix of W213. These leaked images are of its exterior as the interior images have been already unveiled.

Going by the picture, one can find its designing to be similar to that of C-Class and S-Class. In terms of size as well, it sits between C-Class and S-Class. The length of this car has increased by 43 mm to measure a total of 4923 mm while the wheelbase has increased by 65 mm to extend to 2939 mm. Moreover, the difference between length and wheelbase is due to shorter front and back overhangs. A number of weight-saving measures have also been taken to make it lighter than its predecessor. Further, its aerodynamically designed body helps it to produce less noise and deliver a better fuel economy. Towards the front fascia, it would be getting a new Multibeam LED module headlamps which were revealed through a video yesterday.

Moving inside, it features a new instrument cluster along with twin 12.3-inch displays on range-topping models. For the whole cabin, a number of trim and colour options are made available. The steering wheel is embossed with touch controls which make driving easier for the driver. For entertainment purpose, an infotainment system is integrated along with a 23-speaker Burmeister sound system.

Under the hood, the all-new E-Class would be available with many engine options. For the hybrid variant, a powerful engine would be installed which could deliver a maximum power of 279 hp along with a peak torque of 600 Nm. It could also cover a distance of 30 km with one single charge. These engines would be further paired to a nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission.

Although most of the specs have been revealed in tits and bits, but to get up-close and personal we will have to wait for the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.
