The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has long been synonymous with luxury, innovation, and sophisticated engineering. For the 2019 model year, Mercedes-Benz refined this iconic sedan, coupe, cabriolet, and wagon, introducing enhanced performance and cutting-edge technology to solidify its position at the forefront of the luxury vehicle segment. The 2019 Mercedes E Class 2019 models mark a significant step forward, building on the already impressive foundation of the previous generation.
Unleashing More Power: The New E 450 Engine
A key highlight of the Mercedes E Class 2019 lineup is the introduction of the E 450 designation, replacing the previous E 400 models. This change is not merely cosmetic; it signifies a substantial upgrade under the hood. The E 450 and E 450 4MATIC variants are now equipped with a more potent 3.0-liter V6 biturbo engine. This enhanced engine delivers a remarkable 362 horsepower, a notable increase of 33 hp from the previous 329 hp. Torque also sees a boost, now reaching 369 lb-ft compared to the earlier 354 lb-ft.
This power upgrade translates to a more responsive and exhilarating driving experience across the Mercedes E Class 2019 range. Whether you opt for the sedan, the sleek coupe, the open-air cabriolet, or the versatile wagon, the E 450 engine ensures confident acceleration and smooth power delivery in all driving conditions. The 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system, available on select models, further enhances traction and stability, making the Mercedes E Class 2019 a capable performer in diverse climates.
Advanced Safety: Intelligent Drive Takes Center Stage
The Mercedes E Class 2019 continues to champion driver assistance and safety technology. Building upon Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to innovation, the 2019 models benefit from the advancements showcased in the flagship S-Class. The integration of enhanced safety systems and route-based speed adaptation elevates the driving experience, providing an extra layer of confidence and security.
The Intelligent Drive system in the Mercedes E Class 2019 utilizes a comprehensive suite of sensors, cameras, and navigation data to proactively assist the driver. Route-based speed adaptation is a particularly noteworthy feature, leveraging significantly broader map and navigation data to anticipate driving conditions and adjust vehicle speed accordingly. This intelligent system contributes to a safer and more relaxed driving experience, especially on unfamiliar roads or in dynamic traffic situations.
Refinements Inside and Out for the 2019 E-Class
Beyond performance and safety enhancements, the Mercedes E Class 2019 receives subtle yet significant updates to its interior and exterior. A new 3-spoke Nappa Leather multifunction steering wheel becomes standard, offering both luxurious feel and enhanced functionality. This redesigned steering wheel allows drivers to operate all safety assistance systems without taking their hands off the wheel, promoting safer and more intuitive control.
Inside the cabin, two additional trim options with matching center consoles offer increased personalization and aesthetic refinement for the Mercedes E Class 2019. For those seeking a sportier aesthetic, a new 19” AMG wheel becomes available, especially striking when paired with the optional Night Package.
