The Mercedes-Benz E-Class, since its debut in 2016, has been recognized for its groundbreaking technical innovations, setting new benchmarks in comfort, intelligent driving, and infotainment. For the 2019 model year, Mercedes-Benz elevates the E-Class experience further by introducing the E 450 and E 450 4MATIC variants, signaling a significant upgrade in power and performance. This enhancement extends across the Sedan, Coupe, Cabriolet, and Wagon models, promising drivers a more dynamic and refined driving experience. The highly anticipated 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup is set to arrive in U.S. dealerships in Fall 2018.
More Power Under the Hood: The Upgraded Engine
At the heart of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E 450 and E 450 4MATIC models lies a significantly enhanced 3.0-liter V6 biturbo engine. This powerhouse now delivers an impressive 362 horsepower, a substantial increase of 33 hp from the previous 329 hp. Torque also sees a boost, reaching 369 lb-ft compared to the earlier 354 lb-ft. This robust engine upgrade ensures a more responsive and exhilarating drive across the 2019 E-Class range.
Reflecting these powerful enhancements, the new E 450 designation will replace the former E 400 variants. Specifically, the 2019 E 450 4MATIC Sedan and Wagon, along with the E 450 and E 450 4MATIC Coupe and Cabriolet, will take the place of the previous E 400 and E 400 4MATIC models. This change accurately represents the performance and feature upgrades incorporated into the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Intelligent Drive: Elevating Safety to New Heights
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has consistently been at the forefront of driver assistance and safety technology. When the new generation was introduced to the U.S. market in 2016, it set a new standard for intelligent driving systems. This commitment to safety was further emphasized in 2017 with the redesigned Mercedes-Benz S-Class family, which showcased even more advanced driver assistance features.
For the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, these cutting-edge safety enhancements are now integrated, bringing a new level of sophistication to driver assistance. A key highlight is the route-based speed adaptation, which utilizes an expanded scope of map and navigation data. This system allows the vehicle to proactively adjust speed based on upcoming road conditions, curves, and intersections, ensuring a safer and more intuitive driving experience in diverse situations.
Additional Updates for the 2019 E-Class
Beyond the engine and safety enhancements, the 2019 E-Class family receives a range of interior and exterior refinements. A new 3-spoke Nappa Leather multifunction steering wheel is introduced, designed to allow drivers to operate all safety assistance systems without needing to take their hands off the wheel. This ergonomic and intuitive design enhances both safety and convenience.
Further personalizing the interior, two new trim options with matching center consoles are now available, allowing for greater customization. For those seeking a sportier aesthetic, a new 19” AMG wheel option is offered, particularly striking when paired with the Night Package. Additionally, the Rear Safety Package is now available on the E-Class Sedan, further enhancing passenger protection.
