The iconic Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB returns to the Indian market in its sixth generation (V214), continuing its legacy as one of the most popular luxury sedans. Known for elegance and cutting-edge technology, this new E-Class variant combines sophisticated styling, innovative features, and powerful engine options, making it the ideal choice for Indian buyers who care for both luxury and performance.
Exterior Design
The front profile of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB captures attention with its sleek, bold Avantgarde exterior. The three-pointed star emblem takes center stage in the grille, setting the tone for a signature Mercedes-Benz look.
For those opting for the AMG line, additional LED elements below the headlamp add distinction, further elevating the sporty allure.
Along the side, the car sports flush door handles that extend automatically when the key is nearby, enhancing both aesthetics and aerodynamics. With 18-inch alloy wheels and 225/R18 tires, this sedan promises stability, style, and performance.
At the rear, a new 3D star-patterned taillight design, chrome-accented exhaust tips, and a stretched chrome strip connecting the exhausts all emphasize luxury and sophistication.
Interiors Packed with Advanced Tech
Stepping inside the Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB reveals a new level of luxury. The redesigned dashboard integrates three high-definition screens: a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.4-inch central touchscreen, and an additional 12.3-inch passenger screen. Exclusive to Mercedes, this passenger infotainment display provides unique access to entertainment and control options.
The 4D Burmester surround sound system features 17 speakers and supports Dolby Atmos, delivering immersive sound quality that transforms the cabin into a concert hall. Additionally, electrically adjustable air-conditioning vents and acoustic glass for better sound insulation make for a serene, premium experience. While the car’s seats offer reclining options for rear passengers, ventilated and heated seats are notably absent in this model, leaving a minor gap in an otherwise luxurious package.
Variants & Engine
E200 (M254): Equipped with a 4-cylinder petrol engine, the E200 is supported by a 48-Volt mild-hybrid system (also available in GLC), delivering 204 HP and 320 Nm of torque.
