Behold: the handsome new Mercedes-Benz E-Class saloon
Hybrid tech and an interior overhaul for Merc’s big-selling executive four-door
Perhaps reports of its demise have been exaggerated, because here is a new car that bears “the proportions of a classic three-box saloon”. Welcome to the posh taxi of the future: the brand-new Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
It’s an important car, the new E: well over a million examples of the outgoing car have been sold across the globe (in fact more than “16 million upper mid-range vehicles since 1946”, according to Merc). So as new car reveals go, lots of eyes will be on the S-Class’s baby brother.
Eyes drawn at first to the new face, now said to “build a bridge to the avant-garde trendsetters from Mercedes-EQ”. That’s Merc’s electric-only range of course, and the connection comes via the gloss-black surface that connects the new headlight design and front grille. The latter is available in two designs and with the option of being illuminated. You shouldn't do the latter of the latter.
Sweep back from there and you’ll land on the E’s new ‘power dome’ bonnet that represents the exec saloon’s schportier side. Sweep back even further and you’ll find the new E-Class is both longer and wider than its predecessor, representing its luggzury. At the back, there’s a funky new rear light treatment that incorporates the three-pointed star in the pattern.

New Mercedes E-Class brings 69-mile PHEV and up to 375bhp
Latest version of the executive saloon emphasises new technologies, including on-board artificial intelligence
Mercedes-Benz has unwrapped its sixth-generation E-Class, revealing a significantly more contemporary take on the traditional luxury saloon that is planned to go on sale in September at a price tipped to start at over £50,000.
The new four-door, one of the German car maker’s last dedicated internal combustion engine models before it goes electric only, grows in size over the previous model offering a larger interior.
As part of its focus on premium comfort, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class gets Level 4 autonomous tech as part of a driverless valet parking function – previously only available on the Mercedes S-Class – as an option in markets where laws allow, such as its home country of Germany.
The Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series rival also offers a revised range of drivetrains, including overhauled petrol-electric plug-in hybrid systems with a greater electric range of up to 69 miles (WLTP) thanks to a 10.6kWh larger 24.1kWh battery.
As well as the two hybrid options, the new E-Class will initially be sold with a choice of four four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, offering a power range from 194bhp to 375bhp. All are mated to a standard nine-speed automatic gearbox.
Design-wise, the new E-Class adopts a lineage similar to the smaller Mercedes-Benz C-Class and larger S-Class, giving the traditional trio of Mercedes-Benz saloons the most cohesive appearance in over three decades.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class
For over 75 years, the E-Class has set the standard for mid-range luxury saloons. In 2023, Mercedes-Benz will open a new chapter for the business saloon: the new E-Class points the way in the transition from the combustion engine to electric drive. At the same time, its new electronics architecture allows a comprehensive digital user experience. The first saloon models of the 214 series will arrive at the European sales partners in autumn 2023.
Classic proportions and special character lines in the exterior design
The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class has the proportions of a classic three-box saloon: the short front overhang and long bonnet are followed by a greenhouse which is set well back. The "cab-backward" design is rounded off by the well-proportioned rear overhang.
A black panel-like surface connects the radiator grille with the headlamps. This insert in high-gloss black is visually reminiscent of the Mercedes-EQ models. The three-dimensionally designed radiator grille is either progressive or classic, depending on the equipment line. The new E-Class has high-performance LED headlamps as standard. As an optional extra, DIGITAL LIGHT is available without and with a projection function. All headlamp variants offer a distinctive day and night design. As a typical feature of the brand, the daytime running lights take the shape of an eyebrow. Powerdomes accentuate the bonnet.
The side view shows off the harmonious proportions and the distinctive "cab-backward" design to particularly good effect. The flush-fitting door handles familiar from the luxury Mercedes-Benz models are available as an option. The two separate character lines on the side emphasise the car's sporty character.

2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Revealed
Here’s a first look at the updated 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class which has just been revealed. The changes are considerable, check it out.
After an extensive teaser campaign, the updated 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Borrowing some styling elements from the flagship Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the new E-Class still retains some unique individual elements to separate it from the S and the lesser C-Class, like the unique headlights and tail lamps.
What you see here are two trim levels of the updated 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class; Progressive AMG Line and Classic Exclusive. Progressive’s grille features plenty of tiny stars while the Classic is your standard conservative slatted grille.
Under the skin, the E-Class wheelbase has grown by 22 mm to further increase cabin space, with the Stuttgart-based brand claiming legroom, kneeroom and elbowroom have grown. Overall, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is oh-so-close to being 5 metres in length.

New Mercedes E-Class debuts with advanced new electronics, hybrid-heavy range
Mercedes-Benz describes its all-new E-Class sedan, revealed on Tuesday, as a bridge between tradition and digitalisation.
It also seems to be building a bridge between internal combustion and electric, as half of the engine variants set to be available when it goes on sale in Europe later this year will be plug-in hybrids. Furthermore, the new sedan aims to offer users a “comprehensive” digital experience thanks to a brand new electronics architecture.
The exterior design of the new Mercedes E-Class honours its past with classic rear wheel drive proportions, but there’s also a salute to the future in places, such as the black grille surround that mimics the firm’s battery-powered EQ models. Buyers can also opt for an illuminated grille surround that has two optical fibres behind the chrome strips.
For the record, the wheelbase has grown by 22mm to procure more interior space.
The cockpit area has undergone something of a revolution, with the new MBUX Superscreen. While not to be confused with the Hyperscreen found in the EQS and EQE, it’s still an impressive piece of digital real estate, complete with an optional front passenger screen.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate
As functional as its predecessor, as intelligent and customisable as never before: The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate, model series 214, impresses in many areas. The design has also changed: The roofline is more dynamically designed compared to its predecessor, and at the same time the new E-Class Estate scores again with functionality and load compartment volume. Combined with the raked rear window, the overall appearance is progressive.
Like the Saloon before it, the Estate not only continues the long model history of the classic E-Class, but also bridges the gap to the avant-garde trendsetters from Mercedes-EQ with its new design. Balanced proportions are part of the appearance of a classic estate car. They are defined by the short front overhang, the long bonnet with powerdomes, the longer wheelbase and the balanced rear overhang.
With its distinctive side profile, the Estate clearly sets itself apart from the competition. The two character lines familiar from the Saloon create a powerfully stretched car body and give the Estate a sporty and stylish appearance. Sophisticated, three-dimensional and optimised down to the last detail, the surface finish exudes elegance.
A black panel-like surface connects the radiator grille with the headlamps. This insert in high-gloss black is visually reminiscent of the Mercedes-EQ models. The three-dimensionally designed radiator grille is either progressive or classic, depending on the equipment line. A chrome-framed radiator grille backlit by optical fibres is optionally available for all lines (Avantgarde, Exclusive and AMG Line). The new E-Class Estate features LED High Performance headlamps as standard. As an optional extra, DIGITAL LIGHT is available without and with a projection function. All headlamp variants offer a distinctive day and night design. As a typical feature of the brand, the daytime running lights take the shape of an eyebrow.

Mercedes-Benz reveals the new E-Class estate, and surprise, it’s bigger than before
Mercedes has released a first look at its new tech-laden, sixth-generation E-Class estate
Mercedes has pulled the wraps off the estate version of its new sixth-generation E-Class that we first saw back in April. The new car is basically the same, only with more boot – looks alright, with new rear lights that have the Mercedes logo inside them. As we know, Merc is all about the subtlety these days.
That boot is what you came here for, so let’s get the proper bit of excitement out of the way. The new E-Class estate offers you a whopping 615 litres of space with the seats up and a cavernous 1,830 with them knocked down. Take our deposit money now, please. Go for the PHEV version (which is a surprisingly practical driving option, with up to 62 miles of range) and you lose a bit of space – 460/1,675 litres on offer there. You can access all of that lovely space via a powered tailgate that will be fitted as standard.
The car is 22mm longer in the wheelbase than the outgoing fifth-generation E-Class – Merc says it has popped the extra room in the back so that rear passengers are more comfortable, so that’s nice. An extra 28mm of width means extra elbow room too.
Not that front passengers are suffering at all – the E-Class estate gets the new MBUX Superscreen (not the Hyperscreen, note, you have to go much fancier in the Mercedes range to deserve one of those) set-up, which means whoever is in the passenger seat can watch films or telly on the go. Make sure the driver doesn’t look over though – a camera sensor will pause whatever’s happening on the screen so they can’t get distracted. The system won’t run if there’s no one sitting there, either.
