I would bet money that the E400 will become the E450 with the I6 with about the same hp, around 367hp. The E53 is the one I'm waiting for. Lord this change can't come soon enough. I need Mercedes to quit playing catch up and knock out in the engine room.

Was there any word about the I6 diesel engines?
PS an E with the I6 M256 like in the FL S will be quite some car...

I think new engines in Saloon and Estate E Class will be available on MY2019.

I do not have new information about new diesel engines in E Class, but I will try to find out.
Generally diesel will be replaced by electric motors and new petrol engines with 48V installation (RSG or ISG).

Interesting, so typical MB, introducing new engines 1 year before face lift time to boost sales.

Ok, so probably engine OM 656 (R6-diesel) will be available on MY 2019 (summer 2018) in E Class.

To my knowledge the facelift will be in 2020 (MY2021).

is there any information on the power output figures for the m264 engine?

 

[Kukobana]

I'm sorry but I do not have information yet.
Gossips talk about power in the range of 299 - 305 HP petrol engine and 16 HP RSG 48V.

This one showed up on the demo car list, it is a nice combination, especially with the bigger 19" wheels.

I often vacillate between the traditional "luxury"grille either looking good or ill-fitting, but with those wheels, it looks proper.

The photos posted by Monster the car looks so luxurious almost S class luxury..

That looks great, nice combo the classic grill with those 19inch wheels. The it's a pity the middle console is in that ugly black piano plastic, it would have looked better if they it was the same colour wood as the rest of the interior

I really don't understand MB's decision to leave that large piece of trim in shiny plastic as the default and only trim to match with gloss wood trims.

How long till MB get rid of the luxury E? Already did on the C.
They'll probably wait for the facelift.

I think it is happening for the US market only? Funny enough MB Australia got rid of the luxury line for the W212 and W204, only to bring it back for the W213 and the W205, starting from last month. Also in markets such as South Korea, Japan, the lower range of the E class comes in "Avantgarde" or "AMG line" while the E 400 only comes in the luxury/exclusive line.

In the U.S? ... I'll give it a model year or two. I recently realized that all Es come standard with the AMG body standard, just AMG wheels are the additional option.

Luxury line is a no cost option, but it most often means it's a bare bones E for lease specials. Nothing "luxury" about that.
