Mercedes-Benz E-Class is one of the benchmark models of large cars in luxury brands, with annual sales of 150000 vehicles in the Chinese market, on a par with BMW 5-Series and Audi A6L. Therefore, because of its market popularity and position, every change in style and appearance will cause heated discussion among netizens. The emergence of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class has also met with a lot of complaints.

The new E-Class offers two appearances. This time, the model put into production is a sports model, while the model declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is an ordinary version with a vertical design. From the declaration chart, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class uses new design elements, the front is flatter and lower than the cash model, the iconic grille is also broadened horizontally, the headlight group is in line with the latest family design, and the LED daytime driving lights use the "inverted L" style. At the same time, it is also seen that the new Beijing Mercedes-Benz E-class front face uses a penetrating lower air intake.

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class has not changed much in the side, and the rear part has only been adjusted in detail. for example, the taillight group has adopted a new design, which is more technological than cash, but the recognition has also declined.

The declared body dimensions of the new car show that its length, width and height are 5078/1860/1490mm and its wheelbase is 3079mm.

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class fully introduces a "48V weak mixing system" in terms of power, in which the new E 260 L is equipped with a 48V weak mixing system composed of a 1.5T in-line four-cylinder engine and a start-up generator, and the maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 184 horsepower; the new E 300L is equipped with a low-power version of 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 258 horsepower.

The new car continues to be equipped with a standard 9-speed manual gearbox.

The price of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class refers to cash, with a price range of 42.98-623800 yuan. Mercedes-Benz is also the first carmaker to use small-engine engines in executive cars, with direct competitors BMW 5-Series and Audi A6L using 2.0T engines for entry-level configurations. The Mercedes-Benz car series has a comprehensive small emission, which has also caused some controversial voices on the Internet.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the benchmark model of this class, but a series of quality problems and recalls in recent years have led to a "deviation" in its market reputation. For example, the early exposure of domestic models of aluminum steel to reduce cost events, the hidden danger of front shock absorber fracture forced recall, gasoline leakage recall and so on, frequent recall cases also let the Mercedes-Benz brand into a quality storm. Some netizens even said that they had "smashed word of mouth".

For the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class in the appearance of the big adjustment, and continue to use a small engine + 48V weak mixing system configuration, caused a lot of online complaints. However, the high premium of the Mercedes-Benz brand keeps its sales rising, and the future market performance of the new E-Class is worth looking forward to.
