The Mercedes E-Class is one of the most popular and well-known sports sedans in the family of increased comfort, which has not lost its position for more than 10 years. The main features of the Mercedes of the E-Class series are the high quality of assembly materials, dynamism, comfort, smoothness and increased safety. Thanks to all these characteristics, this car occupies a leading position in the global market. And today we will devote an overview of this particular model.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class: photo and design of the car
The appearance of the car can not be compared with anything: the menacing look of optics, a massive wide bumper, a huge radiator grille and low thresholds. At first it seems that these cars are produced at one of the tuning studio in small quantities. But no, it is in such a shell that the Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe is manufactured in series, in large batches.
Compared to earlier models, the version that is produced today has gained a lot of sporting features. And if before it was a solid business-class car, now it is a real sports car. The lower part of the bumper is decorated with an aerodynamic spoiler, it is difficult not to notice the huge air intakes on the sides, and the optics acquired a more prominent shape and curly compartments for daytime running lights. By the way, due to such an extraordinary arrangement of DRL bands, the engineers managed to maintain the “four-eyedness” effect that was originally present on the machines of this series.
Interior
The inside of the car is literally crammed with luxurious details and elements. The interior design is very modern and unusual. At the wheel of a Mercedes Benz E-Class, you feel like in a real spacecraft. Even the steering wheel has many remote control buttons and an unusual insert "under the aluminum." In more advanced trim levels there is an original “wood-like” insert that runs in strips around the entire perimeter of the front panel.
The instrument panel includes 3 wells, and in one of them two arrows are located at once with their own scales. In the center you can see the built-in on-board computer with touch-sensitive display control. The center console is made symmetrically and without any twists (with the exception of a dozen buttons under the air duct). There is also an armrest. Door upholstery is made in white and gray tones and is in harmony with the general background of the interior. There are also many additional control buttons, and the handles are chrome-plated. The seat upholstery can be either dark gray or white. But in any case, the driver and passenger seats will be made taking into account maximum ergonomics. By the way, the seats are equipped with a mass of various adjustments, which allows a person to set the position of the backrest for their anatomical features.
Based on the foregoing, we can say that the Mercedes Benz E-Class is one of the few examples of how you can successfully combine prestige, solidity and sportiness in one piece. The Germans coped with this task, for which they have great respect.
Mercedes Benz E-Class: engine specifications
Initially, the prestigious Mercedes models were characterized by a wide range of power plants. The Mercedes Benz E-Class was no exception.
It is worth noting that the manufacturer has significantly expanded and modernized diesel plants. So, the youngest in the engine line is a 136-horsepower unit, gaining a "hundred" in 10 odd seconds. More powerful is the 170-horsepower diesel engine. “A hundred” he dials in 8.7 seconds.
In addition, the manufacturer offers a choice between other power plants with a capacity of 184, 204, 233, 251 and 408 horsepower. Due to such a variety of engine lines, the buyer can choose exactly the version of the Mercedes that he likes.
We also note that all of the above units comply with the Euro 5 environmental standard and have quite adequate fuel consumption.
For an example of a 233-horsepower engine, consider the fuel consumption and acceleration dynamics of a sports Mercedes.
Profitability
According to passport data, the average consumption of a car per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle is about 9.3 liters of fuel. In this case, the maximum speed of the car is 247 kilometers per hour. And a jerk from zero to hundreds is estimated at more than 7 seconds. As you can see, the Mercedes Benz E-Class leads in all respects.
And the units are equipped with two types of transmissions. This is a six-speed “mechanics” and a seven-band “automatic” TRONIC PLUS. The latter has the ability to work in mechanical mode, in which the driver himself can switch to a particular gear.
Cost
The Mercedes Benz E-Class is delivered to the Russian market in two body styles - a sedan and a station wagon. The cost of the first begins with a mark of 1 million 850 thousand rubles. A station wagon in the same configuration can be purchased for 2 million 20 thousand rubles.
Recall that the indicated price is fair in relation to the basic configuration. The top one will cost customers 3 million 520 thousand rubles.
