6th-gen Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB debuts; India launch in 2024

The Indian version is expected to get 4 and 6-cylinder petrol and diesel engine options.

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the long-wheelbase version of the 6th-generation E-Class. The sedan will initially go on sale in China and will be introduced in India in the second half of 2024.

The new E-Class LWB measures 5,092 mm in length, 1,880 mm in width and 1,493 mm in height. The wheelbase has been extended to 3,094 mm, which is longer than the E-Class LWB currently sold in India.

In terms of design, the 6th-gen E-Class LWB looks similar to the standard model, except for the stretched rear doors. The interior has been carried over from the standard model and gets Mercedes’ “Superscreen” setup that includes a 14.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the centre with an additional screen on the passenger side and a 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster. The sedan also features power reclining rear seats with an ottoman function, air suspension and rear wheel steering.

In China, the 2024 E-Class long-wheelbase will be offered with a 6-cylinder petrol engine. The Indian version, however, is expected to get 4 and 6-cylinder petrol and diesel engine options.
