2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class: We’re Driving it This Week
This week, The Car Guide is travelling to Europe to attend the presentation of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The 10th generation of Mercedes-Benz’s star model was unveiled as a world premiere at the Detroit Motor Show. The vehicle’s style has been fully revamped and the cabin is now more spacious, thanks to a 65-mm increase for the wheelbase and a 43-mm gain in total length.
With an updated design, the new gen looks a lot more like its big sister, the S-Class. The E-Class is now more in line with the competition, as its dynamic capabilities are emphasized with style enhancements from AMG, Mercedes’ high-performance division. Inside, the redesigned car flaunts new luxury features and can even be equipped with a virtual instrument package presented on a high-resolution screen.

Four-cylinder turbo
There’s a new selection of engines under the hood, including a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo. Who would have thought we’d see an gasoline-powered E-Class with just four cylinders? For extra punch, the E 400’s six-cylinder turbo is back. And what about the transmission? It’s a nine-speed automatic!
As you’d expect, the 2017 E-Class is brimming with technology, including the intelligent assistance system that takes care of steering and keeping your vehicle in the middle of its lane.
