E-Class (W213) [Official] Mercedes-Benz E-Class W213

Interesting that they have shown a diagram on Mercedes Passion with the difference between the current NEFZ (New European Fahrzyklus) fuel and emissions test cycle and the new (coming into affect from 2017) WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure). The WLTP cycle looks like less stopping and higher speeds (acceleration between speeds) and is over 1800sec instead of 1200sec.

New trims for the center console incl. different wood options will be available in 2017. At least that's what my dealer told me in Germany. He couldn't say when exactly though.

I wonder what is causing the delay? It doesn't seem like a huge logistic or technical challenge to have the option available at launch.

Because there is much more to come in 2017. 48-Volt-System, E-turbo, HighRange-HighBeam, new touchpad and so on....

^^BMW3GT are you new Wolfgang? I've noticed you have and share inside informations from MB

 

[Mick Briesgau]

So far only available with Black Piano Lacquer.

Please, be sure @Wolfgang to tell the guys at Sindelfingen we want a different material for the center console. That metal structure for instance, would be nice.

Thanks my friend!

A good friend of mine works for one of the biggest MB dealerships in Germany, we often have conversations about upcoming technologies from Daimler.
It was supposed to bring more tech to the E-Class than we have already seen, but that would have definitely killed some S Class sales. This is the reason why some technologies will premiere in the facelift of the S-Class and will later on brought to the rest of the family. I'm talking about future stuff like gesture control (already confirmed), E-turbos or/and small electric engines (integrated starter generators), HighRange-HighBeam LEDs (high beam range of 600 Meters) and MultiBeam-LEDs with 256 Units.

We need more members like you. Btw do you know anything about the new petrol in line 6 engine .

 

[Amat46]

eTurbos will be cool. Zero lag I suppose and infinite tuning capabilities?

Mercedes details all-aluminum 2.0-liter diesel for E 220d

The new four-cylinder diesel OM 654 marks the start of a pioneering family of engines at Mercedes-Benz. Exemplary efficiency and emission values make the premium diesel for the future and emphasize the central role played by the diesel drive upon reaching the ambitious global climate targets. Its world premiere, the first all-aluminum four-cylinder diesel from Mercedes-Benz E 220 d in the new E-Class in spring 2016th

"In the new engine family infected over 80 years of diesel expertise of Mercedes-Benz. The new premium diesel is more economical and more powerful, lighter and more compact - and they are designed to meet all future emission regulations worldwide, "says Prof. Dr. Thomas Weber, Daimler Board Member for Group Research and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars Development. "In our view, diesel engines in trucks and cars indispensable if the transport-related CO2 emissions will continue to decline."

In the roadmap for sustainable mobility optimization of modern combustion engines in addition to hybrid and electric vehicles plays a crucial role at Mercedes-Benz. In particular, the economic, clean and especially in Europe very popular diesel makes a significant contribution to a further reduction in fleet consumption. Mercedes-Benz is well on its way. In two decades since 1995, the average consumption of the car fleet decreased from 9.2 l / 100 km (230 g CO2 / km) to 5.0 liters (125 g CO2 / km) by almost half. Even today emit 68 models of Mercedes-Benz Cars under 120 g / km. And 108 models carry the efficiency label A + or A.

The engine family modular is used widely across the portfolio of Mercedes-Benz Cars and Vans. Planned are several power levels and longitudinal and transverse installation in vehicles with front, rear and all-wheel drive. This also makes the new development so significant because the improvements in efficiency thus have a direct impact on the fleet consumption of Mercedes-Benz.

The objective of our new generation of engines it was also to reduce the number of variants as far as possible. The compact dimensions of the engine allow more flexibility in adapting to different vehicle types. Series Across the interfaces between the drive unit and vehicle were unified. In particular, all the elements of the exhaust gas aftertreatment are now positioned directly on the engine, not the vehicle. Making its world debut of the new four-cylinder OM 654 than 220 d in the new E-Class in spring 2016. The bottom line increased power available at the new engine around 13 percent less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions at the same time again (143 kW instead of 125 kW).

The main innovation of the new engine:

• For the first time, all-aluminum four-cylinder diesel in
• Steel pistons with stages wells combustion process, NANOSLIDE® cylinder coating, common rail of the fourth generation
• Arrangement of all emission control technologies directly to the motor
• Significantly lighter and more compact: 168.4 kg vs. 202.8 kg (-17%), two-liter displacement takes 2.15 liters, cylinder spacing 90 mm vs. 94 mm
• Lower noise level and top vibration comfort through a variety of measures

Exhaust emissions:

Prepared for the future The new diesel engine is to meet the future emission legislation (RDE - Real Driving emission) designed. The WLTP cycle (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure) has over the current NEDC measuring cycle to the destination that the values for standard and real consumption are close to each other in the future. In addition, a measurement method for the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) to be introduced in Europe, which is also actively supported by Mercedes-Benz.

All information relevant for the efficient emission control components are mounted directly on the engine. Supported by insulation measures and improved catalyst coatings can be a motor-side temperature management in the cold start and low-load operation completely omitted. Besides the benefits of emissions arise from fuel savings especially for short distances. By close-coupled arrangement, the exhaust aftertreatment has a low heat loss and optimum working conditions. The new engine has a multi-way exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Combining the cooled high-pressure and low-pressure EGR. Thus, the raw emissions of the engine in the entire map may already be further lowered significantly at optimum fuel efficiency position of the combustion center of gravity.

The exhaust gas from the turbocharger first enters a diesel oxidation catalyst. It happens more the downdraft mixer in which the AdBlue liquid is mixed with the aid of a water-cooled metering module. Through a specially developed mixing section succeeds in the AdBlue fluid to evaporate the shortest route in the exhaust stream and to distribute very uniformly on the surface of the following SDPF (particulate filter with coating for the reduction of nitrogen oxides). Behind the SDPF is still a SCR catalyst disposed for further catalytic reduction of the nitrogen oxides. Only after that the cleaned exhaust gas enters the exhaust system.

First suspected MB reduced options initially to ensure production quality of the new model, but now it seems the interior design team lead by Hartmut Sinkwitz may have called this one. They allegedly tested several center console layouts with wood and structured metal, and decided it was in conflict with their sensual purity theme. Too much wood and structured surfaces on the center console looked too baroque and stuck-up to them, or some such. Other options may emerge later on.

precisely what I thought as well, i'm more than happy with the piano black piece.

 

[Merc1]

Yeah I get what they're talking about but damn this will be a major compromise for some. One day though I'm going to open this thread and see a press release on a new I6 petrol engine.

I hope that day comes soon, because I'm about this |...| close to saying "screw this, I'll settle for a W212F E400 or W205 C450 AMG."

If they send a diesel version of the S213 All Road here to the U.S., I'd bite on that too.

OK, I understand their theory. Well, let's see how the material used for the console surface is executed in quality aspect. Maybe it's better than one might think.

Too much wood for an E-class perhaps. I have to say the gloss plastic trim on the basic C-class was not impressive, it was a finger print and micro scratch magnet. At the very least, offer the black diamond trim as option, like the black metal trim on the AMG GT.

I think the piece would look nice in the same leather as the surrounding trim. Very luxurious.

 

[martinbo]

This is interesting to me...

So the exhaust turbine is variable geometry (which is cute as always) but what's that stuff surrounding the turbine casing? Ceramic for heat insulation? @Wolfgang?
