The Mercedes-Benz E-Class specifications turn on which of three engines you pick, since the nine-speed automatic is shared. Every unit carries 48 volt mild-hybrid assistance. The spec sheet also reflects the long-wheelbase body built specially for India. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and only the E 450 adds 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The spread runs from a four-cylinder up to a straight six.
The E 200 uses a 2.0 litre petrol with 201 bhp and 320 Nm. The diesel E 220d makes 194 bhp and a strong 440 Nm. The E 450 4MATIC steps up to a 3.0 litre inline-six petrol with 375 bhp and all-wheel drive. That six also makes 500 Nm of torque.
Fuel figures are even across the four-cylinder cars. The E 200 petrol and E 220d diesel both read 15 kmpl on the ARAI test. The six-cylinder E 450 drops to 12 kmpl for its extra power. You can read the E-Class economy numbers tied to each engine.
The 3094 mm wheelbase is the key figure, opening up rear legroom. Overall length is 5082 mm, with a 540 litre boot and a 66 litre tank. Width is 1880 mm and height 1492 mm. Seating is for five, with the focus on the two rear passengers.
Equipment climbs from the E 200 up to the E 450 4MATIC, which adds performance hardware. The diesel sits only slightly above the entry petrol on price, at ₹83.50 Lakh against ₹81.50 Lakh. See the E-Class price in your city after choosing an engine.
