sale Mercedes benz E class 2017 review
The new 2017 Mercedes-Benz E Coupe has been revealed ahead of its European launch in the first quarter of year
It’s no surprise that the E-Class coupe looks very much like the smaller C-Class and larger S__Class Coupes, though the mid-sizer does have some unique features
The tail-lights are the first on any Mercedes-Benz to have a ‘welcome’ feature, with the LEDs illuminating successively from the centre outwards when the vehicle is unlocked, and in the opposite direction when it is locked
Mercedes-Benz says the crystal optics used in the tail-lights give a glow reminiscent of a jet engine
Justifying its place in the new Mercedes line-up, the 2017 E Coupe comes in at 4827mm long, 1861mm wide and 1430mm tall, the new coupe is 123mm longer, 74mm wider and 32mm taller than its C-Class-based predecessor, while also riding on a 113mm longer wheelbase
Inside, the E-Class coupe’s cockpit is, as expected, very similar to the sedan and wagon. The dual-screen layout (optional in Europe) incorporating two 12.4_inch high-resolution displays carries over, along with the familiar shape of the centre console and dashboard
Unique to the coupe are newly-designed air vents that are influenced by the look of a turbine engine, finished in ‘silver shadow’
Occupants are also treated to the latest Comand Online infotainment system, which also features support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
The gains in exterior dimensions have also allowed for improved space in the cabin, with the new coupe sporting 74mm extra rear legroom, 18mm more headroom in the front and 16mm in the rear, along with 52mm more shoulder room in the front and 33mm more in the back
Under the bonnet are a choice of four engines at launch, including three petrols and one diesel
The sole diesel offering is the E220d, which uses the familiar 2.1-litre (1951cc) four_cylinder turbo_diesel producing 144kW of power and 400Nm of torque
0-100km/h takes 7.2 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 242km/h
Next up is the entry-level petrol in the form of the E220. Motivated by a 2.1-litre turbcharged four-cylinder petrol, the E220 develops 132kW of power and 300Nm of torque

Despite the relatively small outputs, the base turbo four-pot is good for a 0-200km/h dash in 7.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 250km/h
