Mercedes-Benz has officially unveiled the all-new tenth-generation 2017 E-Class at the Detroit Auto Show. With styling that closely mirrors the C and S-Class models, the new E-Class is bigger than its predecessor with a more stylish exterior.
Compared with its predecessor, its wheelbase has grown by 2.6 inches and its overall length by 1.7 inches. When the new E-Class arrives this summer, the first model, the E300, will be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The four-cylinder will be mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Additional engines will be offered after launch, which should include a new plug-in hybrid variant.
The 2017 E-Class will be offered with a steel-spring suspension as standard, but two Direct Control suspension systems with selective damping are available in conjunction with this suspension: Comfort or Sport.

The new E-Class will also arrive with a host of new technologies, like Remote Parking Pilot that allows drivers to park the vehicle remotely using a smartphone app, Car-to-X communication that allows for communication between other cars on the road and Pre-Safe Impulse side, which will move the driver or front passenger away from the danger zone to the side in a lateral crash.
