As the saying goes, "drive a BMW, ride a Mercedes", for the mainland people, it is a symbol of face engineering.
In the luxury medium and large car market, Mercedes-Benz E-class as the industry's "big brother" level, the Chinese people's love for it has been unabated, and even every month it has contributed more than 10,000 sales results.
Of course, in the face of the luxury medium and large car market that has never stopped competing, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class will naturally not show weakness to the opponent
Recently, the professor learned through the Mercedes-Benz official that the new Mercedes-Benz E-class was officially launched, and a total of 10 models were launched, with a price range of 438,100 yuan to 542,400 yuan, and the price was lowered by 1800 yuan, but some configurations were also reduced.
In terms of appearance, the new E-class as an annual redesign, basically consistent with the current model, is still the latest design style of the Mercedes-Benz family, and provides Xinghui Zhongwang big standard and standard selection, the former is more inclined to young sports, the latter is more stable and dignified, catering to the aesthetic appetite of different consumers.
The side of the body, thanks to the lengthened body, looks more like the taste of the family big brother S-class, thus giving people a domineering visual feeling, driving on the road, do not have to worry about the problem of the noodles, creating a sufficient business atmosphere.
In terms of body size, the new car length, width and height are 5078/1860/1480 (1490) mm, the wheelbase is 3079mm, compared to the Audi A6L, BMW 5 Series, these two old enemies, can not say how eye-catching, but the space in the car is still remarkable compared to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The tail design is relatively more inclined to a simple style, and the triangle style taillight group is also the latest popular supporting of the Mercedes-Benz family, and the effect after lighting is more dazzling, but it lacks some calm atmosphere in the look and feel.
In terms of interior, the new E-class still uses a duplex screen design, coupled with a large area of leather wrapping, the atmosphere of luxury is no less than that of the same level of models.
However, the internal configuration has begun to "diving", the wireless charging that used to be standard has been changed to an option, and the E 260 L sedan and the E 260 L 4MATIC sedan have both eliminated the steering wheel heating function. Also in terms of interior colours, the sporty version of the Macchiato beige/saddle brown colour scheme and the standard version of the Macchiato Beige/Saint-Tropez blue colour scheme were cancelled.
The professor speculated that its adjustment is likely to be due to the shortage of chip supply and the increase in the price of some raw materials. Although Mercedes-Benz also lowered the price of the whole series by 1800 yuan, the price that needs to be selected is much higher than the lowered price, so the Mercedes-Benz routine is still elusive.
In terms of power, the new E-class continues to provide 2.0T high and low power engines, with a low power maximum horsepower of 197 horsepower and a high power of 258 horses, and the transmission system is matched with a 9AT gearbox.
In addition, in order to cater to the development of electrification, the new car also launched the E 300 e L plug-in hybrid version, which has a combined power of 235 kW and a NEDC pure electric range of 120 km.
Although mercedes-benz E-class is updated and remodeled, but the biggest competitor is audi A6L and BMW 5 series, according to the current market situation, the first two in the terminal discount, are released more attractive price strength, and even Audi A6L parts of the region is as high as 50,000 yuan, compared to Mercedes-Benz E-class to a certain extent will also cause pressure on it.
BMW 5 Series
Guidance price: 42.89-55.19 million yuan
Audi A6L
Guidance price: 41.98-65.60 million yuan
In general, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class as a luxury medium and large sedan benchmark product, the superior space experience, and the charm of the three-pronged star emblem, it is indeed difficult for many potential consumers to escape its palm.
However, once again, the operation of reducing the allocation is staged, can the status of Mercedes-Benz be preserved in the future? After all, today's consumers are increasingly beginning to consume rationally.
