CHAUFFEURS in the UK are now able to order the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class which still offers the perfect package for premium operators.
Priced from £57,930 on-the-road, it boasts a 22mm longer wheelbase than its predecessor and a whopping 1,830 litres of boot space (with the seats down) meaning passengers have more leg and headroom in the rear seats.
Combining the latest innovations from the E-Class Saloon, such as the third-generation MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, chauffeurs can choose from four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines – both with mild-hybrid technology – and our fourth-generation plug-in hybrid with up to 69 miles of all-electric range.
Both petrol and diesel engines are paired with the latest-generation 9G-TRONIC PLUS nine-speed automatic transmission and 48-volt mild-hybrid (MHEV) technology, with a second-generation integrated starter generator (ISG) to provide up to 23 hp/205 Nm of support in the low-speed range.
With an electric output of 129 hp/440 Nm and an all-electric range of up to up to 69 miles2, owners of the E 300 e can complete most of their everyday journeys without using its 2.0-litre petrol combustion engine. The battery, with a capacity of 25.4 kWh, was developed in-house by Mercedes-Benz AG. Full electrical power is available up to 87mph.
