Why Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedans matter

Since the early 1950s, E-Class sedans have been among the most revered mid-size luxury cars. Not as posh, large, or expensive as the S-Class full-size luxury cars, the E-Class signals success and appreciation for fine automobiles.

Mercedes-Benz didn’t name the E-Class to designated electric cars. New cars frequently include an “E” or “e” as part of a model or variant name to indicate a battery-electric vehicle (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).

The MBUX Superscreen option includes a selfie and video camera.

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans have internal combustion engines (ICEs), although one adds a mild hybrid drive. Mercedes-Benz 2024 EVs, such as the Mercedes Maybach EQ S 680 SUV, include EQB, EQE, and EQS model designations.

The 2024 E 350 4Matic Sedan has a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The E 450 4Matic Sedan has a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine with mild hybrid drive. The gas engine outputs 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.

The E 450’s mild hybrid 48V integrated starter-generator powers the water pump, air-conditioning compressor, and other ordinarily belt-driven components. It can supply an extra 21 hp of power to the engine.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class sixth-generation changes

The sixth-generation E-Class includes exterior design and interior luxury updates. Mercedes-Benz also boosted the technological features focused on the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX), which launched its third generation with the 2024 E-Class Sedan.

The two E-Class models have standard 4Matic all-wheel drive and Agility Control suspension with selective damping that balances handling agility and rider comfort. The latest E-Class Sedans also include a Mercedes-Benz Digital Vehicle Key that allows users to start, lock, and unlock the car with a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch.

The 2024 E-Class Sedan’s exterior emphasizes the short front overhang and long hood, styling details surrounding the grill and headlights, new taillights, and a new M-B star motif. Buyers can select 18-inch to 21-inch wheels. A selection of exterior colors, including a new Verde Silver metallic finish, is available.

The interior updates for the new E-Class Sedan feature a fine-grade finish plus a 14.4-inch central media display. Front-seat passengers can enjoy a personal 12.3-inch display with individual controls for streaming entertainment and apps, including video conferencing with the MBUX Superscreen option, which also includes a selfie and video camera. The numerous digital electronic updates in the new E-Class Sedans include MBUX Augmented Reality for Navigation and extensive automated comfort controls.

Both 2024 E-Class Sedans are available in Premium and Pinnacle trim levels. The standard Premium Trim starts at $62,300 for the E 350 4Matic Sedan and $68,100 for the E 450 4Matic Sedan. In addition to the features mentioned above, Premium Trim models include AMG exterior styling, LED headlamps, a panoramic sliding sunroof, a parking package with a 350-degree surround camera, blindspot assist, 64-color ambient lighting, and wireless smartphone charging.

For an extra $2,550, you can move up from the Premium to the Pinnacle Trim. With the Pinnacle trim, the E 350 4Matic Sedan with Pinnacle trim starts at $64,850, and the E 450 4Matic Sedan starts at $70,650. The Pinnacle trim upgrade adds an illuminated grille, active ambient lighting with sound visualization, heat and noise-insulating glass, and a heads-up display. All vehicles also have a required $1,150 destination and delivery charge.

Porsche enters the classic 911 into the GT4 category
The iconic brand deepens their racing portfolio with classic edition
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

In the mid-2000s (I won't speculate as to the timing of The Fast and the Furious hype coincidence here...), a new phenomenon in racing launched to help the everyman get an opportunity to enter into a very exclusive culture: racing. The entire point of it was to offer a more accessible alternative to the super-expensive racing world, where customers could bring their love of racing to the streets for a little go-fast competition. Porsche has been in that world for a long time, and deepened their racing portfolio with a 911 version that will allow the lovers of the street-legal 911 to take it to the racing world with the new Porsche 911 GT4 R.

With the new race car based on the Porsche 911 GT3, we are taking our successful GT4 program to a new level. The combination of iconic 911 DNA and the tried-and-tested GT4 concept creates a unique offering in the market. - Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President, Porsche Motorsport

25 years of Fast & Furious legacy all at the tip of your fingers
Petersen Automotive Museum is giving you the chance to see the cars that raced into our hearts with Dom and Brian.
Car, Car Show, Transportation

Yesterday marked 25 years since the release of one of the greatest movies of our generation. Two and a half decades since Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) went undercover with the Toretto family to scour the world of illegal street racing in search of those responsible for truck heists. Of course, who could resist the idea that family conquers all and the charm of the patriarch, Dominic (Vin Diesel), and his sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster). However you may feel about the ten movies that followed (that is right...TEN), the original The Fast and the Furious redefined an entire automotive culture for a new century. I mean, truly, how did Tej (Ludacris) go from garage owning gear head in Miami to super hacker with no explanation? Anyway, if you are like me, you loved the ridiculous cars that have shown up through the years, and that means you will be excited to know that the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles expanded their "Fast & Furious Legacy" exhibit to include all of your favorite super machines.
