On June 1, at the 2024 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show, the Beijing Benz E-Class long-wheelbase plug-in hybrid model was officially launched. The official name of the new car is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350e L, and the price is 538,600 yuan.

In terms of appearance, the new car continues the Mercedes-Benz family design language, and the overall shape is consistent with that of the fuel version. It also provides two front face styling options: sports cars and cars. The interior of the grille of the sports sedan version adopts a dot matrix design, while the sedan version adopts a banner grille and is equipped with a logo. The design of the light group adopts a retro "peanut lamp" shape, leaving the overall sense of luxury.

On the side of the body, the new car has smooth lines, and the multi-belt design provides the vehicle with a richer sense of layering. The new car adopts hidden door handles and night trim strips on the opposite window to enhance the sporty feel of the vehicle. It is combined with large size multi-spoke rims to further provide the new car with a sense of luxury. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5092/1880/1489mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3094 mm. It is positioned and inserted into medium and large models. At the rear of the car, the rear of the new car adopts a newly designed through-type LED taillight set, and the interior is supplemented with two-section "three-pronged star emblem" elements, which is extremely recognizable after lighting up.

In the interior section, the new car is equipped with a full LCD meter and a new MBUX super screen MBUX Superscreen with a large size. It combines designs such as a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel to create a good sense of technology.

In terms of power, the new car is built based on Mercedes-Benz's fourth-generation plug-in hybrid technology. It is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0T engine and an electric motor. The peak total power of the system is 230 kilowatts, and the peak total torque of the system is as high as 550 N·m. Pure electric battery life under WLTP conditions is 106 kilometers.

Judging from the positioning and selling price of the new car, as a plug-in medium and large model, the new car's competitors are still Audi and BMW. It should be noted that the BMW 5 Series PHEV and the Audi A6L PHEV are currently in a state of production suspension, and the new car will be launched on the market. We will wait and see how it performs in the future.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is one of the best-selling Mercedes-Benz models in the world, with competing products including the Audi A6L and BMW 5 Series. As a heavyweight model of the Mercedes-Benz brand, it is a medium-to-large high-end business sedan developed between the C-Class and the S-Class. After the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the C-Class have been successively replaced, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class has finally appeared. In public view, its design style is also clearly differentiated from the C-Class and S-Class.

The new generation of domestically produced Mercedes-Benz E-Class was officially launched at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show, and the current price is 4490 - 599,800 yuan. Retail data shows that from January to April this year, Mercedes-Benz E-Class sales were 36943 units. For reference, sales of Audi A6L and BMW 5 Series were 59301 units and 22989 units respectively.
