2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Overseas Preview Drive | Style-Led Sophistication in Typical Mercedes-Benz Coupe Fashion
As the second-last model of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class range, the E-Class coupe fits in alongside the coming convertible model, bringing a lifestyle option to the otherwise more practical sedan and wagon range.
Entirely unique styling compared to the four-door sets the new model apart, though the family resemblance is clear and unlike the previous E-Class coupe the new model isn’t based upon C-Class dimensions, instead running a longer wheelbase than the C-Class coupe for extra rear seat space.
Vehicle Style: Large prestige coupe
Price: $96,000 - 145,900 (plus on-roads)
Engine/trans: 143kW/400Nm 2.0-litre 4cyl turbo diesel, 180kW/370Nm 4cyl turbo petrol, 245kW/480Nm 3.0-litre 6cyl turbo petrol | 9sp automatic
Fuel Economy Claimed: 4.9 - 8.1 l/100km
OVERVIEW
Three versions will initially be offered in Australia, starting with the $96,000 (plus on-roads) E220d powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine producing 143kW of power with performance in the range of 0-100km/h in a claimed 7.4 seconds.
The diesel might be the price leader, but Mercedes believes 80 per cent of buyers will opt for petrol-powered models of which there are two choices.
