The new 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, with a 0.87 inches longer wheelbase than that of the preceding model, is powered by a 255 horsepower four cylinder turbocharged engine in the E 350 4MATIC and 375 horsepower turbocharged six cylinder powertrain in the E 450 4MATIC, both mated to the 9G-TRONIC transmission. In addition to turbocharging, an integrated starter-generator electric motor, a 48 volt on-board electrical system, adds 22 horsepower. At speeds below 37 mph, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels and by up to 4.5° against the front steering angle when parking and at speeds above 37 mph, the rear wheels steer up to 2.5° in the same direction as the front wheels. The optional technology package includes the all-round AIRMATIC air suspension system with ADS+ continuously adjustable damping and rear-axle steering. Sales in the Unites States will start late 2023.
