DETROIT – Mercedes-Benz rolls out a significantly refreshed E-Class lineup here at the North American International Auto Show.
In addition to restyled front and rear ends and loads of new safety and convenience technologies, the revamped sedans, coupes, cabriolets and wagons will be available with 18 engine and driveline combinations, Daimler Chairman Dieter Zetsche says.
Those offerings will include a 4-cyl. diesel engine “that will have many people rethink everything they’ve heard about diesel before,” he says. A diesel hybrid and a 3.0L twin-turbo direct-injection V-6 also will be available.
A new E63 AMG is touted as the most powerful E-Class model ever, delivering up to 585 hp generated by the newly developed AMG 4Matic drivetrain.
