Buyers of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class have
a couple of new options for the 2019 model year.
On Tuesday, we detailed AMG's new E53
that replaces the E43, with the car's mild-hybrid powertrain bringing 429
horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque, versus the 396 hp and 384 lb-ft of the
non-electrified E43.
Now we have details on a new E450 model that replaces the
E400 in the regular E-Class lineup. It's available across the 2019 E-Class
range, meaning sedan, coupe, cabriolet and wagon body styles. And it can be had
with rear- or all-wheel drive.
As the higher numerical figure indicates, there's more power
on tap. The E450 models are powered by an upgraded version of the 3.0-liter
twin-turbocharged V-6 found in the E400 4Matic, bringing 362 hp and 369 lb-ft
versus 329 hp and 354 lb-ft previously.
Another change for 2019 includes a new three-spoke
multifunction steering wheel with Nappa leather. The new unit lets the driver
operate all electronic driver assist systems without ever removing their hands
from the steering wheel. Speaking of assist systems, the 2019 E-Class gets the
route-based speed adaptive system that debuted on the 2018
S-Class. The system can automatically adjust vehicle speed for a number of
road situations based on navigation data, such as highway exits, junctions,
roundabouts and toll booths.
Other changes to the E-Class for the latest model year
include new trim options, as well as a new 19-inch AMG wheel pattern available
with the Night Package.
The 2019 Mercedes E-Class starts sales this fall. Pricing
hasn't been announced but expect it to start close to the $53,945 base sticker
of the 2018 model.
