The first car I'm talking about today is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. According to the analysis of the latest sales ranking in March 2022 released by the Association of Automobile Associations, the sales volume of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class in March 2022 was 12,797 units, compared with 13,785 units in March 2021, a year-on-year decline of 7.2%, and the smallest sales decline in the same class, still ranked first in the sales of high-end cars. The cumulative sales volume of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class in the first quarter of 2022 reached 43,195 units, an increase of 1.9% year-on-year compared with 42,387 units in the first quarter of 2021, which can maintain sales growth in the fierce market competition.
In terms of appearance, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class streamlined body with a retro silhouette looks elegant and dignified. The front face part is still a family-style design, the shield-shaped middle grid grid, the interior is composed of a number of horizontal chrome decorative strips, the middle has lines to divide the formation of a double grille style, and the bottom lower grille is a through-line design, extending to both sides, the middle also has a bow-shaped silver decorative strip, widening the horizontal visual effect, the body appears more low, exquisite and fashionable.
I believe that many people, like the author, are very obsessed with the interior design of the old S-class, thinking that this is the interior quality of the first model, but after adopting a new style, this design is abandoned. However, the good news is that the new E-class does not use such a design, it is still a classic dual-screen design, and the sense of luxury is well created.
From the side, the body looks very slender, showing the elegant side very well. The side also added a penetrating waistline, chrome trim strips at the window frame, and a straight line at the bottom, which is very refined. The wheel hub is a 18-inch multi-spoke design, the shape is very dynamic, and the upper part also has an outward bulge of the wheel eyebrows. As for the body size, the length, width and height are 5078 mm/ 1860 mm / 1480 mm, and the wheelbase is 3079 mm, which is an advantage over the same class of models.
The sedan version is still shown with a serious and dignified image, and the redesigned headlights make it look a little more technological. The headlights are geometric multi-beam LED headlights, which can be controlled separately with led independent light sources, and can intelligently switch lighting modes according to different road conditions, which is more intelligent.
The entire series is equipped with a 2.0T engine code-named M264: the E 260 L model has a maximum engine power of 197 horsepower, and the E 300 L model has a maximum engine power of 258 horsepower, which matches the 9-speed automatic transmission that is optimized in terms of lightweight and transmission efficiency.
