2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB India Launch Likely Around Festive Season

Mercedes-Benz recently took the wraps off its new-generation E-Class LWB sedan in India. Compared to its predecessor, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB is bigger, more premium, and more powerful. Mercedes-Benz has yet to reveal the launch date, but we expect the new sedan to arrive around the festive season.

The new sedan is 17mm longer than the outgoing model, at 5,092mm. The wheelbase stands at 3,094mm, which has increased by 15mm. Design-wise, the front fascia is marked by a massive grille featuring a 3D logo, which is flanked by high-performance LED headlamps. On the sides, the car features flush-fitting door handles and new wheels (18-inch units) with chunky tyres. Also new are LED taillamps with three-pointed star elements. The rear fascia also features a revised bumper with chrome inserts. The 2024 E-Class will be offered in the following colours upon launch: Nautic Blue, Obsidian Black, Polar White, High Tech Silver, and Graphite Grey.

Under its hood, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB features either a four-cylinder petrol engine or a diesel engine. Both engines are paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system, which adds an additional 23bhp and 205Nm for 30 seconds. Transmission is taken care of by a 9-speed automatic unit, which sends power to the rear wheels.
