Mercedes-Benz long wheelbase? The E-class car is currently undergoing a mid-term change. Although this is not a strict replacement, many upgrades are still surprising. The new E-Class, which was redesigned in the middle term, offers two sets of appearance styles to choose from. The standard car maintains the consistent luxury car atmosphere of E-class, while the sports car with logo embedded in the front net is a little more dynamic than elegant. But whether it is a standard car or a sports car, the new generation of E-Class does look younger, like a handsome and fashionable boy in a slim suit.

The appearance design of the new E-class adopts the same design language as the S-class that just appeared not long ago. From a distance, it feels quite "small s", and you can guess that it is a Mercedes-Benz without even looking at the logo. The length, width and height of the new E-Class are almost the same as those of the current models, which are 5078/ 1860/ 1484mm and the wheelbase is 3079 mm.

Entering the car, as a mid-term redesigned model, the new E-class interior is luxuriously upgraded, and the huge penetrating screen above the center console still looks amazing, which is one of the designs that many other automobile brands are competing to imitate. Mercedes-Benz once again used the screen to lead the development trend of the automobile industry.

The first capacitive touch steering wheel has become the crowning touch of the interior space. The sedan version and the sports sedan version use three gull-wing steering wheels and two-wing sports steering wheels respectively, showing different design styles. NAPPA leather wrap makes it feel outstanding, and capacitive sensing technology can accurately identify the finger position. When sliding and pressing, it is as smooth and natural as using a smartphone.

This car has been upgraded to the latest MBUX system. The biggest change is that the accuracy of speech recognition has improved by leaps and bounds, and at the same time, it supports screen touch function. You can not only control some functions of the car by voice, but also let the car help you arrange your trip and plan your route by voice. When it comes to planning the route, we have to mention the AR real-life navigation function equipped with the new E-class. In cities with increasingly complex road conditions, real-life navigation can make drivers know the driving route more intuitively and avoid taking the wrong intersection.

The new E-Class has optimized the rear seats, and the backrest angle is more ergonomic, and it supports angle adjustment, and the cushion angle has also been adjusted. However, the most obvious upgrade comes from the small cushion on the headrest. This small cushion can be bent into a U-shape, which can reduce the head shaking of passengers in the back row during a nap and improve the comfort of riding.

As a mid-term modified model, the new E-Class provides rich power options. E260L is a 1.5T engine plus 48V light mixing system; E300L is a 2.0T engine with 258 horsepower; On the other hand, the E350L with higher allocation adds a 48V light mixing system to the 2.0T engine. Since its birth, the E-class has been the best-selling model of Mercedes-Benz, and the mainstay of E-class sales is undoubtedly E300L.

E300L？ The maximum horsepower of 2.0T engine can reach 258 horsepower. With the nine-speed automatic manual transmission, the driving experience of E300L is still very smooth. As an elegant luxury car, E300L does not need to be arrogant, but in fact, the 0- 100km/h acceleration time of E300L only takes more than 6 seconds. Elegance is just a disguise, and the genes of Mercedes-Benz AMG flow in the bones of the new E-class.

Comfort has always been the main theme of E-class. From the moment you get on the new E-Class and close the door, the noise outside has nothing to do with you. The silence in the car makes people just want to drive by the way, and even the desire to overtake will be lost. E300L's power is not weak, but the sense of acceleration is not abrupt. Engineers try to imitate the acceleration curve of a large displacement self-priming engine, so that the car looks elegant and calm when accelerating.

"Steady" has always been the driving style pursued by E-class. After all, E-level users are middle-aged people with old age and small age. They are past the age of pursuing speed and passion. What they need more is a stable one that can let their families sleep in the car. In order to make the driving state more stable, the front and rear suspensions of the new E-class adopt multi-link independent suspension, which minimizes the impact of road bumps on the riding experience, and the setting of four-wheel independent suspension also improves the handling performance of the new E-class to some extent.

Since the birth of 1953, the E-class has been the most popular model of Mercedes-Benz, even accounting for 62% of the total output of Mercedes-Benz. It is no exaggeration to say that the E-class is the mainstay of Mercedes-Benz sales. E-level target customers have the same characteristics as E-level target customers. They have a successful career and a happy family, so a car is just a weight to increase their happiness, and comfort and luxury are enough. Nowadays, E-class has become more fashionable, younger and more scientific. Judging from the feedback from the market, this upgrade is another successful iteration.
