Mercedes-Benz launches new petrol and diesel engines for E-Class and CLS ranges
Customers can buy cars with the updated selection of engines now, with deliveries expected to start in October
Mercedes-Benz has introduced a new selection of petrol and diesel engines for its range of E-Class and CLS models.
Starting with the E-Class, the E 450 4Matic is now available in the E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet line-ups, with prices starting at £50,900 and £55,395 respectively.
Replacing the E 400 4Matic, the E 450 4Matic uses an inline six-cylinder petrol engine with Mercedes-Benz’s EQ Boost technology.
It produces 367bhp and 500Nm of torque, with an extra 22bhp and 250Nm available via the EQ Boost system, which uses a 48-volt inline starter-generator to enhance performance and refinement while also reducing fuel consumption.
The E 450 4Matic delivers a combined fuel economy of up to 32.1mpg on the Coupé – or up to 31.7mpg on the Cabriolet – and emits 202g/km of CO2.
This powertrain allows for a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds on the Coupé and 5.6 seconds on the Cabriolet, while both models have an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.
Also on the E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet, the E 350 d 4Matic has been replaced by the E 400 d 4Matic. This 3.0-litre inline diesel engine produces 340bhp and 700Nm of torque.
Equipped with this powertrain, the Coupé achieves 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, while the Cabriolet takes five seconds. Once again, both models have a top speed of 155mph.
Starting at £64,445, the new E 400 d 4Matic All-Terrain has been introduced to replace its E 350 d equivalent. This version of the 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine produces 340bhp and 700Nm of torque. The 0-60mph sprint is achieved in 5.2 seconds, with a top speed of 155mph.
The E 400 d 4Matic All-Terrain offers a high level of specification as standard, such as Air Body Control air suspension, Multibeam LED Intelligent Light System, panoramic sunroof, towbar, 360-degree camera, Air Balance package, Energising Comfort package and wireless smartphone charging.
Meanwhile, on the CLS 350 Coupé, an all-new four-cylinder petrol engine has been introduced. It produces 299bhp plus 400Nm of torque and has a belt-driven variant of the EQ Boost system, offering a further 14bhp and 150Nm.
This powertrain is capable of up to 39.8mpg and emits 162g/km of CO2. Equipped with it, the CLS can deal with 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 155mph.
The models are available to order now and deliveries are set to begin in October.
