E-Class (W213/C238/A238) [Official] Mercedes-Benz E-Class W213


The Mercedes-Benz W213 is the fifth generation of the E-Class range. It succeeded the W212 E-Class models. The coupe/convertible models (C238/A238) share the same platform as the sedan/wagon, in contrast to the previous generation. Production: February 2016–2023. Model years: 2017–2023.
Finally saw the E class in exclusive line with the traditional grill out on the road. It looks like a proper luxurious Mercedes sedan.

Exactly, it looks like an S with the trad grille. To me, the E has been the "don't need the bigger size" of the S, which is a luxury car.
 
I like the traditional grill, but it is an older person's looking car. C Class with traditional grill in US has been discontinued for 2018
 
South Koreans are the world’s biggest buyers of Mercedes-Benz’s E-Class sedans after the Chinese, according to Maeil Business Newspaper study on data from automobile news and importers.

Mercedes-Benz’s flagship sedan E-Class sold 17,434 units in China, 6,941 in Korea, 6,732 in the U.S. and 2,819 in Germany, during the first two months this year. It is the first time Korean sales outperformed the world’s biggest luxury car market of the U.S.

Sales in Korea outpaced the performance in the home turf of Germany by 4,122, up 62 percent from the same period in 2016.

Korean demand for imported mid-luxury brands including E Class and 5 Series have been on a steady rise. Last year, sales of mid-luxury sedan models in Korea grew 4.8 percent on year to 95,122 units last year, while sales of domestic models in the similar category dropped 2.3 percent during the same period.
 
That instrument panel is actually worse than blank buttons of previous generations.

I think I'd prefer a fully equipped Passat or moderately equipped S90 for the same price point.
 
MB should give the middle large screen as standard. The small one looks terrible. I mean the screen itself is fine but the design around the screen is just unacceptable.
 
^ the problem is that big rectangular piece of plastic. Stuck with the two large screens it looks great. Stuck with the analogue dials and the smaller screen, it doesn't look at all: too much glossy, black plastic. I could live with the analogue dials part, but not with the small screen/abundance of plastic part.

Perhaps the standard configuration will be changed (upgraded) for the facelift.
 
Some details of the M256 engine in upcoming E50 AMG model revealed:

NEW MERCEDES-AMG E 50 4MATIC WITH M 256 SERIES 6-CYLINDER

According to current rumors, Mercedes-AMG is to prepare an E 50 4MATIC with a new M 256 engine as a series 6-cylinder with 435 hp and E-Turbo with 20 hp. The engine has a 48 volt electrical system as well as an integrated starter generator ISG.

The new in-line cylinder petrol engine with 2.999 cm² can completely dispense with a belt drive for auxiliary units at the end of the engine, which makes the unit almost as compact as a four-cylinder engine.

The water pump and the climate compressor are completely electrically powered by the new 48 V electrical system. A still existing 12 volt mains supplies the loads, such as lighting, cockpit, infotainment and the necessary control units.

The driving performance of the M 256 engine is above the still current V8 petrol engine M 278, with the torque of the M 256 at 530 Nm. The new engine is charged by 2 stages until the large exhaust gas turbocharger starts and the phase is bridged by an additional electrical compressor. The electric turbocharger accelerates within 300 milliseconds to 70,000 revolutions and provides for a lot of dynamics without turbocharger.

Integrated starter generator - ISG
Another integrated component of the new M 256 motor is an integrated starter generator - ISG for short - not only as an electrical generator, the ISG also takes on hydride functions and makes a conventional starter unnecessary. As the manufacturer already showed us in October 2016 , the system can boast a maximum of 20 hp with 220 Nm of torque, ideal for kick-down, recuperation or sailing.

One of the comfort features of the ISG is an almost imperceptible start of the engine. For the exhaust gas aftertreatment, the new in-line six-cylinder petrol engine also has a standard particulate filter, which is part of the exhaust system in the underbody.

It would have been great if the E50 had to use the same spec V8 engine as the base C63 model with 476 PS (350kw) rather than a six cylinder engine but let us hope this new inline 6 punches much above its weight.
