Unwrapping the All New 2024 Mercedes Benz E Class

Under the E350's scalloped hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that pairs with a 23-hp electric motor for a combined 255 horsepower. The E450 model gets a similar hybrid setup for its turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, which brings the total to 375 horsepower. The hybrid systems are said to reduce turbo lag and smooth the operation of the auto start/stop system. We haven't driven the E350 yet, but the E450's inline-six deploys its power like a cream and does so quietly. When we get a chance, we'll take the E350 and E450 to our test track and update this story with acceleration numbers. An adjustable air suspension is optional and replaces the steel-spring arrangement that comes standard; a rear-wheel steering system is also available and is said to improve maneuverability in tight spaces.
