Mercedes-Benz has already unveiled its next-generation
E-Class, albeit so far only in the sedan bodystyle.
There are still several variants due such as the high-performance E63 from
Mercedes-AMG as well as the new coupe,
convertible, long-wheelbase sedan and
wagon. It’s the latter that is the focus of our latest spy shots.
The longroof sports a design similar to the one used for the latest C-Class Wagon,
and unlike its smaller sibling the E-Class Wagon will be sold in the United
States. It looks particularly sporty, especially with the rear wing spoiler
attached.
Apart from the unique rear, we expect the rest of the car to
be virtually identical to the sedan.
Underpinning the new E-Class is Mercedes’ flexible MRA
platform designed for rear- and all-wheel-drive cars. It made its debut in the
latest C-Class, and with its light yet sturdy construction it promises to make
the new E-Class more fuel
efficient and better handling than the outgoing model.
So far only one powertrain has been confirmed for the new
E-Class in the U.S. That powertrain is the familiar turbocharged 2.0-liter
four-cylinder found in a handful of other Mercedes products. Its output remains
pegged at 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The sole transmission is
a nine-speed automatic.
