Mercedes-Benz India today announced the first anniversary of the new Long Wheelbase E-Class, the bestselling luxury sedan in the country. Over the past year, the new E-Class has set new benchmark in the luxury segment, winning an impressive 9 awards and becoming the definitive choice for luxury car buyers in India. Since its first showcase in September 2024 and launch in October 2024, the New E-Class LWB has set a new standard in luxury, AI driven technological advancements and sturdy performance. With over 62,000 units on Indian roads, the E-Class has established itself as the most preferred luxury executive saloon for the discerning Indian customers.
New E-Class LWB ‘Verde Silver’ is priced at Rs. 78.5 lakhs (E200), Rs. 80.5 lakhs (E220d) and Rs. 91.7 lakhs (E 450 4MATIC AMG Line) after GST 2.0 implementation. Customers now enjoy price benefits in the range of 6 lakhs on the New LWB E-Class
The new LWB E-Class sets very high benchmark in personalised features with the aid of cutting-edge digital technology on-board, combining them with luxurious interiors and unmatched comfort. Of particular customer interest have been the AI driven MBUX Superscreen and Routines. Since its local production in 1995, the E-Class has continuously evolved, adapting to the needs of its discerning customers, embodying their pursuit of the best-in-class luxury business saloon. This 6th generation model represents the pinnacle of that evolution, combining advanced digital innovations with Mercedes-Benz’s traditional attributes of luxury, comfort, and safety, making it the most sophisticated and technologically advanced LWB E-Class till date.
Radiator grille with star pattern surface
A black panel-like surface connects the radiator grille with the headlamps. The three-dimensionally
designed radiator grille has the STAR at the centre in the Avantgarde line that has been selected for
the new E-Class.
MBUX Superscreen with large glass surface
The dashboard makes for the digital experience in the interior. The E-Class is equipped with a front
passenger screen, and large glass surface of the MBUX Superscreen extends to the central display.
Visually detached from this is the high-resolution instrument cluster display in the driver’s field of
vision. The main icons on the central and passenger displays are now simpler and color-coded to
match smartphone tiles.
New electronic architecture
The electronic architecture is more software- and less hardware-driven. The computing functions of
previously separate domains take place in a single processor. Screens and the MBUX infotainment
system thus share a new, very powerful central onboard computer. This form of networking improves
the performance and speed of the data streams.
New selfie and video camera
A new feature is a selfie and video camera on top of the dashboard. Using the new on-board Vivaldi
browser opens new possibilities for video calls for work and pleasure by enabling you to connect from
your car on the go as well.
Automated comfort functions with routines
Mercedes-Benz is pursuing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enable the car to learn which comfort
systems vehicle occupants use repeatedly. Given the same circumstances, the aim is for AI to
automate such functions. Mercedes-Benz uses the term ‘routine’ for this innovation. At launch of the
new E-Class, customers will be able to use templates for standard routines. They also have the option
of creating routines themselves.
Intelligent passenger screen
The front passenger can watch dynamic content such as TV or video streaming on the display during
a journey while the driver is protected from distraction.
The suspension is specially tuned keeping in mind the rear seat passengers and driving conditions in India. As standard, the E-Class is equipped with our AGILITY CONTROL steel spring suspension with selective damping system. This combines balanced ride comfort and high driving stability. The passive damping system ensures a superior driving experience on any road surface. It continuously adapts rolling behaviour, cushioning effect, and stabilization to the current surface. In the case of smaller bumps, the ride comfort is enhanced by reducing the damping effect, while with larger bumps the full damping ensures optimum stability.
Numerous components of the New E-Class are made partly from resource-saving materials (recyclable
and renewable raw materials). For the first time, certified recycled raw materials are used in the foam
of the seats according to the “mass balance approach”. In terms of their properties, they do not differ
from raw materials produced from crude oil.
