Mercedes-Benz new generation of models with the internal abbreviation W214. After the presentation at the end of 2022, it will go on sale at the beginning of 2023. Now our Erlkönig hunter has caught the new model as a sedan.
Mercedes is launching the new W214 E-Class for model year 2023. In terms of design and equipment, it is based more closely on the new S-Class. The engine program now only offers four- and six-cylinder units. For the AMG models even only four-cylinder.
At the front, the new E is easiest to spot. This is mainly due to the grille, which is placed remarkably low in the front facade. The big question is whether the new ‘E’ will be available again with the traditional Mercedes grille, with chrome louvres and a star placed on the hood. That look was once standard on Mercedes-Benz sedans, but has increasingly disappeared in recent years. At the moment this front is standard for the S-class, not available for the C-class and available at an extra cost for the E-class. But even if that division remains intact, the majority of the E-classes will have a large brand logo in the grille. Just like now, actually.
