There was very little to unravel, new Mercedes E-Class in 2016 , after the official photos were leaked a few days after the presentation at the show in Detroit. Style no more secrets, the new technology – both in terms of driving safety to entertainment on board – everything had already been anticipated in detail in the march approaching the Naias. That left the details of technical to be discovered, important information such as size of the E-Class in 2016 . And, punctual, they arrived. It grows a few centimeters in length , the elegant German sedan (by the way, the classic radiator grille, with the star on the hood, it remains for the preparation Exclusive, everyone else veer toward the sportier grille) to be exact 43 mm bringing the total to 4 meters and 92 centimeters.
But how were exploited? In the best way possible, both to satisfy the eye that the space on board. The front and rear overhangs are reduced, instead grows up, well 65 mm they reach a height of 2 meters and 94, in line with the proportions of two direct rivals, the Audi A6 and Jaguar XF off yes a value of 2 meters and 96 but from a total of 4 meters and 95 centimeters.
The meter gives an idea of how you’ll be on board, greeted by an environment that ranges for materials and colors from the fabric to the skin, by molding materials more technical sophistication of wood. Even the graphics of the instrumentation will be configurable at will, including Classic, Sports and Progressive. That dashboard characterized by news of dual display , under one eyelid protected by glass, offering equipment on the most important, leaving a mix of analog-digital picture and display of reduced dimensions for input range ( to focus on the interior of the Mercedes E-Class, click here ).
Engines
All units under the hood of the new E-Class will be equipped of ‘Eco start & amp; stop, as well as the change 9G-Tronic for the two engines which first hit the market. Mercedes E 200 will be powered by a 2-liter turbo petrol 184 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque, capable of consuming 5.9 liters / 100km in the combined cycle and at the same time ensure lively performance, as evidenced by the 7 “7 in acceleration from zero to one hundred times. The second engine at launch will be the turbo diesel Mercedes E 220d , which reduces the airspace from the previous 2.1 liters and offers a base and aluminum head, measures more compact (by reducing the distance between cylinder 90 millimeters, from the previous 94), single-stage turbocharging and a variable geometry turbocharger. In addition, thanks to the covering of the inner walls of the cylinders with Nanoslide is obtained a reduction of the friction. There are as many as 25 more horsepower at the same torque, 195 hp and 400 Nm, ensuring an acceleration in 7 “3 and fuel consumption of 3.9 liters / 100 km: a sharp scissor kick to the previous data.
Next will be the turn of Mercedes E 350d and Mercedes E 350e , the first turbo-diesel, hybrid plug-in the second. It is sailing on relevant figures, having regard to the power of 258 horsepower and 620 Nm of torque for the 3-liter V6 turbodiesel, with treatment of the SCR exhaust gas. The bar of performance ranks higher, without exorbitant demands in terms of consumption: 5.2 liters / 100 km in mixed are compatible with a shot that is 5 “9.
Class 350e, however, match the 2 liter turbocharged petrol from 205 horses and 350 Nm to an electric motor of 82 horsepower and 360 Nm, for a hybrid system from 279 horses and 600 Nm. The ratio consumption-performance is, if possible, even more surprising in this case, because the 2.1 liters / 100 km (declared consumption and evaluated on 30 km of autonomy in electric mode) connects a zero-percent 6 “2.
Another step, to Mercedes E 400 4Matic , spearhead of the E-Class family: the 3-liter twin-turbo V6 unleashes 333 horses and 480 Nm. They will not be the only proposals, after the introduction at a later stage is the diesel “less pumped” from 150 horses the turbo engine with 245 horsepower.
The completion of the technical arrives with the news of the suspension with Direct Control, a system that cuts the spring-damper to cut out three different configurations, from Comfort to Sport, passing through Avantgarde, the last two with a lowering by 15 millimeters height from the ground. On request you can opt for the Air Body Control suspension, adaptive, able to trim depending on speed, or by calling on Dynamic Select settings (Comfort, Eco, Sport, Sport +, Individual) through which to intervene on multiple parameters driving (by the load wheel to the responsiveness of the engine, to the rapidity of change and, indeed, suspension response.

Among the changes that the new Mercedes E-Class introduces the possibility to use the smartphone as a key, thanks to NFC technology (Near Field Communication), which automatically takes actions preset approaching two devices a few centimeters of each other, in this case the smartphone to the door.
