As what the previous reports have said, the next-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class indeed got a visual design that is far more dynamic than its predecessor.
However, instead of the usual model that has been previously described on the internet, Mercedes-Benz rolled out a different and rather new 2017 E-Class variant at the Detroit auto show.
Instead of the previously-reported engine variant of the luxury sedan, Mercedes-Benz launched a 2017 E-Class that features a four-cylinder gasoline engine for the first time.
During the North American International Auto Show, it was revealed by officials of the Mercedes-Benz that the 2017 E-Class will be available in the US with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that can exude 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque complemented by a 9G-Tronic 9-speed automatic transmission, which shall only be made available upon official launch.
It would be the first gasoline four-cylinder engine in the E-Class in the states while the outgoing generation currently has a 4-pot diesel option.
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class borrows the exterior aesthetics of the S-Class, the way that the C-Class also did. It also put emphasis on the interior material quality, making it actually two-thirds of an S-Class.
It also features a similarly-shaped grille and headlights in front. The trunk and taillights of the E-Class are similar to the S-Class as well.
