2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB Launched

Mercedes-Benz has launched the 2017 E-Class in India. Prices start at Rs 56.15 lakh for the E 200 petrol and go up to Rs 69.47 lakh for the E 350 d diesel (both prices ex-showroom Mumbai). The new E-Class is being introduced exclusively as a long-wheelbase model and India is the only country to get it with right-hand drive.
Features in the new 2017 E-Class include 12.3-inch infotainment screen (derived from the S-Class) that can be operated via a touchpad and for entertainment the car comes equipped with a 13-speaker sound system by Burmester. Other features include a panoramic sunroof, motorised sunblinds, 64-colour ambient lighting and touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel, Full-LED headlights, air-suspension (diesel only) and electrically-adjustable rear seats.
The E 350 d’s 3.0-litre, V6 diesel engine produces 262PS of power and 620Nm of torque. 0-100kmph comes up in a claimed 6.6 seconds with the top speed rated at 250kmph. Mercedes-Benz had the same diesel engine powering the outgoing E-Class, tuned to deliver the same power and torque output. The petrol engine is also a familiar 2.0-litre, four-cylinder unit. Producing 187PS and 300Nm, this engine drives the new E-Class from 0-100kmph in 8.5 seconds – 0.6 seconds slower than the outgoing E-Class – since the new model is larger and, of course, heavier too. Both engines come paired with the 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission that drives power to the rear wheels only.
Colour Options available with new 2017 E-Class are Obsidian Black, Iridium Silver, Citrine Brown, Selenite Grey, Polar White. 2017 E-Class takes on rivals like the BMW 5 Series (soon to be replaced by a new generation itself), the Audi A6, Volvo S90 and the Jaguar XF.
