• The E350’s four-cylinder engine and the E450’s inline-six engine are linked to a 23-hp electric motor for the first time in the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-class car.
  • You can add a screen in front of the passenger seat and a camera to make video calls while the car is still.
  • Mercedes also adds third-party apps like Zoom, TikTok, and Angry Birds to the entertainment system. These apps can be found on the main screen.

Mercedes-Benz is moving into the future with high-tech electric cars like the EQE and EQS; the company still has its origin. It is working hard to bring back to life the famous E-class sedan until 2024. The next version will have hybrid engines, a modern interior with three screens, and a camera for taking selfies.

In contrast to Mercedes’s soap-bar-shaped EVs, the 2024 E-class will still have the standard dimensions of a three-box sedan, with a set-back cabin and a long distance from the dashboard to the axle. On the other hand, the black border between the headlights and grille makes the E-class and EQE look like they belong together. On either side of the full-width frame are two star-shaped taillight parts. Mercedes says the room inside has improved because the wheelbase is a little longer. The sleek body is wider than the last car.

There are technological parts inside

Even though the 2024 E-class will come with two displays as standard, the high-tech interior shown here has a third screen in front of the passenger that can be added as an extra. This makes the dashboard look like a massive pane of glass. In the EQS, similar technology is called “Hyperscreen,” but Mercedes called the screen in the E-class “Superscreen.” Mercedes says that in E-class cars with two screens, an extensive trim piece hides the right side of the dashboard, but it has yet to show any pictures to show how this works.

The rest of the car’s interior has rich-looking leather and metal switches, and the dashboard is surrounded by lights that give off a soft glow. With an add-on package, you can sync the lights to the beat of the music from the Burmester surround sound system. On the light strip, you can also see alerts from driver assistance devices.

Mercedes is happy with the new infotainment system, now run by a single onboard computer with better entertainment choices. With the right technology, a system that cuts off content if a camera on the dashboard sees the driver’s eyes drifting from the road to the screen lets the passenger watch movies and play games while the car is moving. Mercedes has added third-party apps like TikTok, Vivaldi, and Angry Birds to the center display, and the built-in entertainment system can stream with a subscription service.

The extra selfie and video camera on the Superscreen can also zoom in. It is put on the dashboard when the car is stopped and can be used to make video calls or record. The E-class also has augmented reality guidance, which adds arrows to images taken by the car’s many cameras in real-time. When the driver is alone, the new “Just Talk” feature lets the voice assistant keep listening for orders even when the driver is talking. Also, the entertainment system will suggest apps based on the situation, so the driver won’t have to spend time looking through submenus.

Four and six-cylinder hybrid engines

In the United States, there will be two hybrid powertrains. Both engines have a starter generator built in and run on 48-volt power. The electric motor gives the system 23 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, making the start/stop system run more smoothly and reducing turbo lag. The 2.0-liter inline-four engine in the E350 makes 295 lb-ft of torque, 22 lb-ft more than the previous four-cylinder engine, which produced 255 hp. The E450 is an upgrade from the E450. Its turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine makes 375 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, a 13-horsepower boost. All E-class cars have all-wheel drive, and the engine and the transmission have nine speeds.

Each corner of the 2024 E-class has a multi link suspension, and an extra air suspension can replace the standard steel-spring setup with the Technology package. The adaptive dampers and load-leveling function can be changed based on how the road is. Rear-wheel steering is another part of the Technology package that makes the E-class more maneuverable at slower speeds. It cuts the turning radius down to just over three feet.

Many driver assistance features come standard on the E-class. Still, the Driver Assistance Plus package lets you add features like active steering with lane-centering and automatic lane changes.

Mercedes hasn’t said when the E-class will be available in the United States, but we expect it to be on sale by the end of the year. The 2024 E-class could start at about $60,000, a slight increase from the 2023 model, but the price is also unknown.
