Mercedes-Benz is working on a redesign for the E-Class<\/a>, and the latest prototype to be spotted is for the car’s wagon body style.<\/p>\n

The current E-Class arrived for the 2017 model year and was given a mid-cycle update for 2021. In Mercedes tradition, the redesigned E-Class should arrive in 2023 as a 2024 model.<\/p>\n

The current E-Class wagon isn’t sold in the U.S., but we do get the E-Class All-Terrain soft-roader, and the E 63 S wagon from AMG was also previously sold here. It isn’t clear what the plans are for the redesigned model, but any E-Class All-Terrain version should make it to these shores.<\/p>\n

Don’t look for another generation of the two-door E-Class variants, though. Mercedes is preparing a new CLE-Class<\/a> to replace both the C-Class and E-Class coupe and convertible models. It should debut about the same time as the new E-Class.<\/p>\n

It appears the redesigned E-Class will adopt an evolutionary look, though with some elements appearing more dynamic, like the powerful rear haunches seen on the wagon.<\/p>\n

The platform is the updated version of Mercedes’ MRA rear-wheel-drive architecture that debuted with the 2021 S-Class and has since appeared under the 2022 C-Class. The updated platform benefits from weight savings, primarily through increased use of aluminum over steel. This has been made possible due to advanced joining technologies, including aluminum-to-steel welding.<\/p>\n

The platform hasn’t been designed to fit battery-electric powertrains, though electrified powertrains should be used across the range, including for the E 53<\/a> and E 63 models from AMG. Sadly, the next E 63 is rumored to downsize to a 4-cylinder<\/a>, just like the latest C 63<\/a>. The setup combines a 2.0-liter turbo-4 in mild-hybrid configuration with an electric motor at the rear axle for a combined 671 hp in the C 63 S E Performance. The current E 63 S in comparison makes do with 603 hp from its twin-turbo V-8.<\/p>\n

Given Mercedes just launched the 2023 EQE electric sedan<\/a>, and has made a commitment to a full-electric lineup by 2030<\/a>, this will probably be the last E-Class to feature internal-combustion engines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
