2024 Mercedes E-Class to be available in India this festive season in a LWB version
Mercedes-Benz is gearing up to launch the sixth-generation E-Class Long Wheelbase in the Indian market on October 9, 2024. This much-awaited luxury sedan will directly compete with the BMW 5 Series LWB, offering a mix of design enhancements, cutting-edge technology, and improved comfort.
The new E-Class LWB features a fresh design with a reworked front fascia and distinctive LED headlights. At the rear, the car sports quad taillights, which incorporate star-shaped brake lights for a unique visual touch, while flush-fitting door handles add to its sleek and modern appeal.
Inside, the E-Class stands out with Mercedes’ latest “Superscreen” setup. This includes a large 14.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the center, an additional screen for the front passenger and a 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver. The cabin has been designed with luxury and comfort in mind, featuring electrically reclining rear seats with an ottoman function, offering a more relaxed experience for rear passengers. The sedan also comes equipped with air suspension and rear-wheel steering, improving ride quality and maneuverability.
Under the hood, the new E-Class LWB will be available with two engine options – a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol and a 2.0-liter diesel, both backed by a mild-hybrid system for greater efficiency. Power will be delivered through a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Entering the competitive luxury sedan segment, the new-generation E-Class LWB will directly rival the BMW 5 Series LWB, a well-established competitor in the Indian market. Pricing and further details will be revealed closer to the official launch date.
