Mercedes-Benz E53 AMG
With a more striking design, enhanced options for individualisation and the MBUX infotainment system, Mercedes-AMG is enhancing the E53 4MATIC+ Saloon and Estate business-class models. The completely restyled front view lends the Performance E-Class an even more powerful appearance. The AMG-specific radiator grille with its A-shaped contour reinforces the impression of width, as do the flat LED headlamps. Extensive design measures also make the rear view of the saloon look even more muscular. They include the two-piece tail lights, the new rear apron and the new diffuser insert. The interior is also characterised by more sportiness in the form of large displays, the new AMG Performance steering wheel and the AMG-specific MBUX functions. The electrified 3.0-litre engine with twin turbocharging via an exhaust gas turbocharger and an electric additional compressor generates an output of 320 kW (435 hp) and produces a peak torque of 520 Nm. Its EQ Boost starter-alternator briefly provides an additional 16 kW of output plus 250 Nm of torque and also feeds the 48 V on-board electrical system. Other technical highlights include the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission and the fully variable all-wheel drive system AMG Performance 4MATIC+.

Facelifted Mercedes E-Class gains new engines and interior tech
Saloon and estate take on the BMW 5 Series with revised styling and more electrification for 2020
Mercedes-Benz has given the fifth-generation E-Class a refresh, with revised styling, new electrified engines and more interior comfort and technology, in a bid to take the fight to the BMW 5 Series.
The current version of the long-running executive car was launched in 2016, and for this facelift the saloon and estate versions have received subtle styling tweaks. These include new-look front and rear lights and bumpers and a grille that features a three-pointed star as standard. Cars in top-spec AMG Performance trim gain extra design revisions to bring their styling closer to that of Mercedes-AMG models such as the E53. The rugged All-Terrain estate version has received extra changes that tighten the visual links between it and Mercedes’ SUVs.
While the exterior changes are minor, Mercedes has extensively reworked the E-Class’s electronics, allowing the firm to offer a host of new driver assistance systems, ‘energising’ comfort seats and its latest infotainment technology. The E-Class now comes as standard with two 10.25in screens, for the MBUX infotainment and instrumentation, with 12.3in screens optional.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Automotive intelligence is now getting exciting and dynamic: The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon and Estate have undergone a comprehensive update as the first representatives of this model series. Both models will arrive in the showrooms of our European dealers in summer 2020. The long-wheelbase version of the Saloon (China), as well as the Coupé and Cabriolet, will follow soon thereafter.
With over 14 million Saloon and Estate models delivered since 1946, the E-Class is the best-selling model series in the history of Mercedes-Benz. It is perceived by many as the "heart of the brand". The tenth generation of the E-Class set styling trends in 2016 with its clean yet emotionally appealing design and an exclusive, high-quality interior. The wealth of innovations such as in the area of the driving assistance systems also was characteristic. This emotionally appealing and at the same time intelligent combination is extremely successful: to date, more than 1.2 million customers around the world have bought a current-generation E-Class Saloon or E-Class Estate.

Refreshed Mercedes-Benz E-Class (including AMG E53) breaks cover!
Mercedes-Benz has unwrapped its facelifted E-Class sedan, while also introducing the updated version of its Mercedes-AMG E53.
Described by the Stuttgart-based firm as being “thoroughly updated”, the refreshed E-Class will initially be offered only in sedan and estate guise, with the coupé and cabriolet body styles to follow at a later stage.
So, what’s new? Well, the redesigned front end has gained extra chrome-effect trim, with the grille of the Avantgarde line now featuring a pair of chrome louvres and vertical high-gloss black struts.
The Exclusive line, meanwhile, gains a model-specific grille with an upright star on the bonnet and large chrome elements in the front bumper. And the AMG line again predictably mimics the front-end styling of the full-fat AMG variants. At the rear, all models gain a fresh bumper, updated split taillamps and a new boot lid.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class gets a makeover for 2020, plus new engines
The tenth-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been given a midlife refresh and it’s far more than just a subtle upgrade that has us splitting hairs about new bumper accents.
For starters, Mercedes has completely redesigned the front and rear ends of the car, thereby distinguishing it a lot more from its C-Class baby brother that many accused it of resembling a bit too closely. The new frontal design appears to take inspiration from the AMG GT range, while the rear end gets a new horizontal taillight design in place of the previous vertical set-up.

The facelift hasn't addressed an issue with the front end which somewhat ruins the look for me - the unsightly panel gap around the front fender and above the radiator. The C-Class has the same problem. It looks messy to me, like it's bolted on as an afterthought. Not in keeping with the ethos of the car. Maybe it's just me.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class to gain new-gen 'digitalised' steering wheel
Mercedes-Benz has revealed more details about the “comprehensively digitalised” generation of capacitive steering wheels set to debut in the recently refreshed E-Class.
According to the Stuttgart-based firm, the new tiller’s rim houses a “two-zone sensor mat” that detects whether or not the driver's hands are gripping the steering wheel.
“The sensors on the front and back of the rim register whether the steering wheel is being held. No more steering movement is required to signal the assistance systems that the vehicle is under control,” said Marcus Fiege, head of steering wheel development at Mercedes-Benz.
The touch control buttons sited in the spokes, meanwhile, now also work with digital signals, with the operating principle having changed from optical to capacitive. This, says Mercedes, reduces the “mechanical operating surfaces to a maximum”.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300e 2020 UK review
Should I buy one?
On a more general note, the new E-Class is more technologically advanced but retains the qualities we know and love; namely its ability to devour long distances or cruise around even the most cut-and-thrust city without raising the driver's heart rate.
It's still a strong buy, then, but this E300e isn't the plug-in hybrid variant in the E-Class range we'd plump for. That honour goes to the still relatively novel diesel hybrid E300de. Mercedes may be treading a fairly lonely path with this tech, but there's no denying its credentials: smooth EV performance combined with long-distance diesel capability and the ability to easily break 50mpg on a run once the battery has gone flat.
The 5 Series (and its plug-in offering) remains a superior all-rounder, however, offering about 90% of the cosseting executive experience of the E-Class but with a greater dynamic repertoire should you suddenly be overcome with the need to fling a five-metre-long posh saloon down a twisty stretch of road with abandon.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300e specification
Price £46,330 Engine 4 cyls in line, 1991cc, petrol, plus electric motor Power 316bhp at 4500-5500rpm (combined system output) Torque 516lb ft Gearbox 9-spd automatic Kerb weight 1990kg 0-62mph 5.7sec Top speed 155mph Economy 50.4-51.4mpg CO2, tax band na Rivals BMW 530e SE, Audi A6 Black Edition 40 TDI

New Mercedes E-Class here soon: South African pricing announced
Just in time for the facelifted BMW 5 Series, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been given a major makeover for 2020, and the new model is expected to touch down in South Africa shortly.
However, MBSA has already revealed the pricing in its October price list. Only three sedan models are offered for now, these being the E200 petrol model at R920 000 and the E220 d at R984 000, while the Mercedes-AMG E63 is listed at R2 423 000.
The new E200 commands a R45 000 price increase over the pre-facelift model while the E220 d now costs R48 000 more and the E63 commands a premium of around R140 000 over its predecessor.
However, the new E-Class base model still undercuts the R930 200 starting price of the facelifted BMW 5 Series, although the BMW 530i base model is 40kW more powerful.
There’s no mention of a new E53 AMG sedan as yet, but the pricelist does list an E53 Coupe at R1 618 000, as well as a two-door E200 at R1 036 000 and an E300 at R1 131 000. You can also buy a Cabriolet in the aforementioned trio of flavours, with the E53 costing R1 756 000, E200 at R1 164 000 and E300 at R1 268 000.
