The 9-speed automatic keeps the revs low at all times, so going past 3,000 is a rare occasion. That is, until you egg the tacho needle past the 3,000rpm mark. There’s enough power to waft along comfortably, and you never really hear the engine inside the cabin. After all, it resides under the bonnet of an E-Class. While the 3.0-litre straight-six might be the most performance-oriented powertrain on offer in India, its power delivery is still quite linear and smooth. It can only be had with a 9-speed automatic transmission. However, the AMG-Line variant that we drove had the 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine (straight-six) that can dish out 286PS and 600Nm of torque.
Next in line is the E220d, which uses the same setup as the former, with the only difference being that it is a diesel. The first one, employing the E200 moniker, is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol motor that dishes out 197PS and 320Nm. The E-Class can be had with three engine options. The seat comfort, noise insulation and ride quality continue to remain the best in class. You can access most of the car’s touchscreen controls from it. You continue to get control of all the sunblinds and the sunroof from the rear, and the tablet in the armrest adds even more functionality. You get ample amount of space in the rear, the seats can recline-and if you need more space, you can simply push the passenger seat all the way to the front at the touch of a button. For that matter, massage seats or cooled seats would have been much appreciated, seeing as the latter is now available in Rs 15 lakh cars.Īs far as the boss seat is concerned, things are the same as before. Another S-Class feature we would have appreciated is “energising comfort.” It basically brings the music, ambient lighting and the seat massager in harmony to deliver a more connected and comfortable experience. This is available in the S-Class for now. Firstly, the augmented reality that overlay navigation prompts over a live video feed from the front camera would have been a cool addition to the E-Class. There are some misses too, that we felt the E-Class could have done with.

This can be done for both the driver and passenger seats. Now this is not the most ideal setting but it’s a good starting point. Mercedes has also added some fun bits, like for example if you key in your height, the seats and the ORVMs will automatically adjust to a preset position. Both screens, like before, can be operated using the touch buttons on the steering wheel but the learning curve is a little steep at first, and these buttons will take some getting used to. As far as the changes are concerned, there is a redesigned steering wheel, a wireless charging pad for the front passengers, touch functionality for the touchscreen unit and a fully programmable display for the driver. There are grey accents all over the place that match well with the other two colours. The AMG-Line variant we had with us had a deep blue and beige dual-tone interior. The interior of the E-Class was class-leading before, and even with only minor changes, it maintains that advantage. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Rivals: The Mercedes-Benz E-Class rivals the BMW 5 Series, Volvo S90, Jaguar XF and Audi A6 in the Indian market. In terms of safety, there are 7 airbags onboard, an electronic stability program, attention assist, and active brake assist. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Features: The E-Class gets features like all LED lighting, a panoramic sunroof, air suspension (only for AMG Line), three-zone climate control, reclining rear seats, a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster integrated with a touchscreen infotainment system of the same size, 64 colour ambient lighting, front and rear wireless charging pads, parking pilot with a 360-degree camera, and a 590W Burmester sound system. All three engines are mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission.
The AMG line variant is offered with a 3.0-litre inline-six-cylinder diesel engine that makes 286PS and 600Nm of torque. The petrol engine makes 197PS and 320Nm of torque and the diesel engine makes 194PS and 400Nm of torque. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Engine and Transmission: The Expression and Exclusive variants of the E-Class can be had with a 2.0-litre petrol (E200) or diesel (E220d) engine. They are priced between Rs 63.6 lakh and Rs 80.9 lakh (both ex-showroom India). The first two can be had with a petrol or diesel engine whereas the last one can only be had with a diesel engine.
