The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024
While SUVs are all the rage these days, a few luxury sedans like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class continue to be popular. The newly revamped Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 is an update to the car that is already a fan-favourite with the owners of chauffeur-driven sedans and limousines.
The 6th generation E-Class launched globally last year in April. Only the LWB (longer wheelbase) version of this car will be launched in India later this year.
The facelifted version of this car was revealed in China, the only country where the LWB E-Class is produced. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 is speculated to launch in India with several changes, the most notable being that it will be right-hand-drive and will optimize rear seat comfort to make the owners of chauffeur-driven cars even more comfortable.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024: Changes to the Exterior
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 has a 15 mm longer wheelbase and is 20 mm wider than the E-Class currently available in India. It is based on the same MRA2 platform as the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class and C-Class. The car sports a larger single-slat grille with chrome inserts, revised LED headlamps, and duo-tone alloy wheel designs. It has flush door handles, new front and rear bumpers, and wraparound LED tail lights as well.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 also sports longer, Maybach-style doors with the rear quarter glass placed behind the rear door rather than being incorporated into the rear window and door. The longer doors make ingress and egress much more convenient. It has a taller and flatter bonnet as well, but retains the sweeping profile of its predecessor.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024: Inviting Interiors
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 has luxurious interiors equipped with innovative technology. However, certain features available in the Chinese version will not make their way to India. Mercedes-Benz has not yet released a list of specifications that will be available in the India-specific model.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 gets the MBUX ‘Superscreen’ set-up, a smaller and more affordable version of the Hyperscreen. This setup involves three screens positioned beneath a single glass panel: a 14.4-inch infotainment system, a 12.2-inch instrument cluster, and a third screen for the front passenger.
Some media sources speculate that Mercedes-Benz may include a more cost-efficient solution in place of the Superscreen, as a vast majority of E-Class owners in India have chauffeurs and sit in the back.
The longer wheelbase makes the interiors more spacious, and the comfortable seats have extendable thigh supports. The metallic trim, duo-toned upholstery, and LED mood lighting give the cabin a truly luxurious appearance.
The interior also gets active ambient lighting, dual-tone leather upholstery with metal trim, wireless charging, four-zone climate control, a Burmester 4D surround speaker system with Dolby Atmos, and Level 4 ADAS features.
The Engine
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 for India will get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol and 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine. Only the diesel variants will get AWD, and both will incorporate 48-volt mild-hybrid technology.
Conclusion:
Recently, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class was spotted undisguised at the Mercedes-Benz factory in Chakan, Pune. Photos of a black and a silver model have surfaced; both were spotted in the factory’s yard. These pictures have fueled more discussion and speculation around the car’s launch.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 is an eagerly awaited launch in India. It directly rivals the next-gen BMW 5 Series LWB, which will launch in late 2024 as well.
