The sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB is set to go on sale in India on October 9, 2024. The sedan made its global premiere last year and was unveiled in India earlier this month. After great anticipation, Mercedes-Benz is now ready to reveal its prices for the Indian market. Compared to the outgoing model, the new sedan is 17mm longer at 5,092mm. Additionally, its wheelbase has increased by 15mm to 3,094mm. Although there is still time for the sedan to be introduced in India, industry estimates suggest that its price will probably surpass that of the current Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which is priced between Rs 76.05 lakh and Rs 89.15 lakh, ex-showroom. The sedan's deliveries will commence in mid-October. Let's take a closer look at other features of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB: Design 

The car's front is distinguished by a large grille with a 3D emblem, complemented by high-performance LED headlights. On the sides, you can see new 18-inch wheels and flush door handles. The LED taillights with the three-pointed star design, and a reworked bumper with chrome inlays, complete the new look at the back. The new E-Class comes in five exterior colour options: High Tech Silver, Polar White, Graphite Grey, Nautic Blue, and Obsidian Black.
