By Zaheer on Jul 14, 2011 with Comments 0
The E Class will now be available with the sedan or coupe and with the new vehicle it is certain to be getting a very new design to the exterior to the interior of the car also. There is also the choice over engines with the diesel or gas V-6 engine or the V-8 AMG or V-8 engines also. All of the engines however are going to come with only one option for the transmission with the seven speed automatic transmission.
There are going to be some new configurations to the E Class with the wagon or the cabriolet available which the latter is going to have the soft top roof and the four seat passenger’s ability also.
There are the four headrests and the noise for the convertible is going to be reduced dramatically however which will appeal to many more. However with all of these models, there is such a feeling of luxury to them that do make them appealing.
There will be a variety over the body styles such as the wagon, the coupe, the sedan and the convertible options also. The engines are going to be good with the V-8 6.2 liter engine or the V-6 3.5 liter engine or the V-6 3.0 liter engine of another V-8 5.4 liter engine so it is a nice choice to have.
This will have the seven speed automatic transmission however but there are now the models of the E350 4Matic Wagon, the E350 Sedan, the E350 Bluetec, the E63 AMG, the E550 Coupe and Cabriolet. There will be the E550 Sedan and the E350 Coupe and Cabriolet models also.
With this new line up for 2011 the E class cabriolet and even the wagon are going to be the new features here though with the soft top convertible these seem to be one of the most perfect models available to date. The convertible will be able to hold four passengers which will have enough space for all of the passengers however.
With the convertible this is going to have the same engines available as what the sedan had with the V-8 5.4 liter engine and the V-6 3.5 liter engine also so that is a nice treat. Remember there is even the seven speed automatic transmission which works perfectly with both of these engines.
This little convertible will ensure that all of the passengers will be cozy and comfortable as well as heated but the noise level from the roads when the top is up so that is a massive plus. The wagon however is the only one which is going to be an all wheel driver with the V-6 engine also and that might even be able to have the three rows of seating also.
The exterior of the car really does have a great style which does look something like the previous models of the Mercedes however but still a nice classic feel to the car. This is not always going to be something that everyone loves exactly but this really helps to make sure that this vehicle stands out in the crowd.
There will even now be the new grille for the coupe model and the eighteen inch AMG wheels also.
There are some really nice touches to the interior of the car with that managing to have walnut with a nice smooth leather feel though they are standard but are very high class and elegant. The power front seats are also very standard too but a nice addition to the car.
There is even the new COMAND system built into the car which comes with the seven inch screen also but the black coupe and the cabrio could come with the two tone interior and the trim of the ash wood.
When it comes to the handling and performance of this car is going to be very good in fact when it comes to the coupe and sedan versions, it is going to be very comfortable however when there is the long journeys. The performance is quite high however and it really will be pretty smooth which is perfect for everyone really, the car handles its own when it comes to turning tight corners.
With the semi C Class underpinning, it can reach its limit and stop the perfect handling of this car especially when the car is pushed to the limit. When the car is at a very normal pace then it can be very easy to control and doesn’t have a mind of its own which is good, there will only be the sedan model available with all of the engines however.
There are going to be the blind spot assist and the traction and stability control also; that will mean that there is the brake assist which are going to be a standard feature to all of the models. There will also be the four wheel discs with the good active lane assist and if that was not all then there is even eleven airbags available with this car which is fantastic.
The fuel economy ratings are going to be varied though the lowest numbers here are going to be the 350 coupe with it reaching seventeen mpg for the city and a high twenty six mpg for the highway roads. The E63 can have lower numbers with it being only thirteen for the city roads and twenty for the highway roads. The others are going to vary though most of the numbers for the city will reach the fifteen, seventeen and eighteen marks with them also reaching around the mid twenty mark for the highway roads. They numbers are varied so it is going to vary from what model is chosen.
