The W213 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the fifth generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, sold from 2016 as a 2017 model. It succeeded the W212/S212 E-Class models.

New Mercedes-AMG E63 to get four-wheel drive and drift mode
Rear-wheel drive is to be killed off for the next AMG-fettled performance car, but tail-out hooning will still be possible
by Greg Kable
4 October 2016
Next year’s Mercedes-AMG E63 performance car will feature 4Matic four-wheel drive as standard. It will also have a newly developed Drift Mode function as part of a series of features aimed at ensuring it retains the traditional rear-wheel drive handling characteristics of its predecessor, company chairman Tobias Moers has confirmed.
Set to make its world debut at the Detroit motor show in early January, the new Mercedes-AMG E63 will receive a four-wheel drive system as standard for the first time, consigning the rear-wheel drive layout used by earlier incarnations of Affalterbach’s iconic performance saloon to the history books.
The fully variable set-up, which is capable of apportioning up to 100 per cent of drive to the back wheels, has been developed to provide a distinctive rear-wheel drive bias in a move Moers hints will see the new E63 continue to offer power oversteer traits despite the move to four-wheel drive across the model range.
“It is four-wheel drive and we’re going to have a Drift Mode,” Moers revealed to Autocar at the unveiling of the new Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster and GT C Roadster at the Paris motor show.
The 50-year-old AMG chairman confirmed a program included in the E63’s standard electronic stability control system, which provides added torque to the rearward bias of drive to create a slide, will be called Drift Mode.
The combination of 4Matic four-wheel drive and Drift Mode, which first made an appearance on the latest Ford Focus RS, is claimed to elevate the handling of the E63 to a new level.
“It’s faster on the (Nürburgring) Nordschleife than ever,” said Moers. “It’s going to be under 7min 50sec [when fitted with] the standard tyres.”
The previous E63 was offered with the choice of either rear- or four-wheel drive. Moers also hinted at least one version of the new E63 line-up will offer more than 600bhp.
Opinion - is the Ford Focus RS's drift mode dangerous?
“It’s going to be below and above 600bhp,” he said, indicating the newAudi RS6 and BMW M5 rival will follow the lead of other recent AMG models by offering two different states of tune for its new twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine.
The outgoing second-generation E63 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine delivering 549bhp in standard tune and 577bhp in so-called S tune.
The increase in power provides the basis for what Moers claims will be a 0-62mph time of “three point something” seconds for the new four-door AMG model, which will see UK from the second quarter of 2017. “It’s the biggest step we’ve ever made with the E-class,” said Moers.
For context, the 552bhp twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 powered Audi RS6, which also runs four-wheel drive as standard, boasts an official 0-62mph of 3.9sec. Despite the focus of performance, Moers rules out a R version of the E63: “The R is dedicated for GT. There is no intention to use it for the E63.”

New engine choices for the new E-Class model series (BR213) and GLC Coupe (C 253) get officially confirmed.
Eleven new GLC and E-Class models go on sale: Even wider choice of best-sellers
Stuttgart. Although they have different personalities, they still have much in common: here the GLC, a dynamic character type and, as a coupé, the sports car among the SUVs, there the E-Class, the masterpiece of intelligence. Both model series are exceptionally popular, and there is now an even wider choice of the two best-sellers: eleven new models are now available, including – as the highlight – the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 e 4MATIC Coupé, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupé and the Mercedes-AMG E 43 4MATIC Estate.
Two powerful all-wheel-drive models round off the top end of the GLC model range: the GLC 350 d 4MATIC with 190 kW (258 hp) is the new top-of-the-line model among the diesels, while, among the petrol-engined models, the GLC 300 4MATIC with 180 kW (245 hp) fills the gap between GLC 250 4MATIC and GLC 43 4MATIC.
The GLC Coupé is now available in four new models: with the GLC 350 e 4MATIC Coupé, Mercedes-Benz for the first time offers a mid-size SUV coupé with plug-in technology. With a system output of 235 kW (320 hp) and a torque of 560 Nm, the CO2 emissions according to the NEDC standard are 59-64 g/km (depending on the tyres). The drive system combines agile driving pleasure with very low fuel consumption and local zero emissions with a range of up to 34 km.
The portfolio in this body variant is supplemented by the GLC 350 d 4MATIC Coupé with a 190 kW (258 hp) six-cylinder diesel engine and the GLC 300 4MATIC Coupé with a 180 kW (245 hp) four-cylinder petrol engine. For even more power, there is the new Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupé, which combines a sporty, elegant design with the brand's hallmark Driving Performance and the advantages of an SUV in terms of seating position, interior flexibility and also traction off the beaten track. The 270 kW (367 hp) 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine, 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with shorter shift times and AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive configured with a rear bias form the basis for an especially dynamic on-road driving experience.
An overview of the prices*:
The E-Class model range is also continuing to grow apace, with a total of five new versions now available. Two new all-wheel-drive variants offer traction under even the most adverse conditions: the E 220 d 4MATIC and the E 400 4MATIC Estate. At the same time, the E 200 d with 110 kW (150 hp) and the E 350 d with 190 kW (258 hp) round off the range of diesel-engined Estate models at the bottom and top ends, respectively. Now with seven available models, the Estate portfolio has more than doubled.
The range also includes the Mercedes-AMG E 43 4MATIC - the first Performance level of the new Estate. With the powerful 295 kW (401 hp) 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine, 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with shorter shift times, AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive and model-specific sports suspension, the E 43 4MATIC boasts the AMG brand's hallmark driving performance and increased agility.

Except for Ener-G-Force concept
Just collected an E 220 d for the weekend (first time driving the W213). Driving to the Paris Motor Show tomorrow, amongst other places, so should get an idea of what it's like to drive. It's a fairly low spec model.
I won't forget to post about the G11 7 Series that I drove last week, and I will post my thoughts on this.

@Betty Swollocks I drove an E220d for the last 6 days. I can promise you this, you'll be amazed about the fuel economy (in a positive sense )

I expect so judging from the 50km I've done already. I won't be doing one of my standard 120km/h tests, but I should still get a good idea.

I too have had E220d for an extended 24 hour test drive, first time I've used/seen this system and think I'd rather not have it. Just seems to get in the way.
My first drive of an E class and I must say I was very impressed. It was loaded with tech and options, save the HUD. What a great car.
