The New Mercedes-Benz E-Class Long-Wheelbase will be Launched in India on October 9

On October 9, 2024, Mercedes-Benz will introduce the most recent version of the E-class long-wheelbase sedan in India. The E-Class makes its global premiere more than a year after it is introduced in India. The new E-class sedan will only be available in the long-wheelbase body style, just like its predecessor. The all-new BMW 5 Series LWB, which is being offered in long-wheelbase format for the first time in India, will present new competition for the E-Class, which has been Mercedes-Benz’s best-selling model here, upon its launch.

The new E-Class will have a completely new style, with redesigned headlamps that have modern-looking DRLs. The front end now has a bigger grille than before, giving it a more commanding look. The new E-class shares a similar silhouette to the previous model, albeit with some softening of the outgoing model’s sharp features. It receives redesigned tail lamps on the back that are more in keeping with the company’s more recent models.

The new E-Class LWB is 18 mm longer and 20 mm wider than the outgoing model, with dimensions of 5,092 mm in length, 1,880 mm in width, and 1,493 mm in height. Of the 18 mm length gain, 15 mm have been added to the wheelbase, bringing it to 3,094 mm.

The top model of the E-Class LWB will come with an MBUX Superscreen inside. Up to three integrated screens can be found beneath a single curved glass panel on the dashboard, which is called the Superscreen. This consists of a co-driver-specific display, a central infotainment touchscreen, and a digital instrument cluster. Additional features include motorised rear sunblinds, a panoramic sunroof, four-zone climate control, power-adjustable rear outer seats, a 730W Burmester 4D sound system, and 64-color ambient lighting.

Mercedes has announced that the new E will have two four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines as standard equipment. A 2.0-liter gasoline unit produces about 195 horsepower, and a 2.0-liter diesel unit produces roughly 200 horsepower. The basic gearbox will be a 9-speed automatic.
