Now, Mercedes Design chief Gorden Wagener has officially confirmed that the next generation 2016 Mercedes E Class will make its world debut at the NAIAS 2016 (2016 Detroit Motor Show) next year in January. The model is expected to get showcased in Indian market in late-2016, wherein the new E Class will be assembled at the company’s plant in Chakan, Pune, following its launch as a CBU model.

When Wagener was asked to describe the design of the next E Class he quoted it as an “all-new design that is much more beautiful and modern, and much cleaner than even the C-Class and S-Class”. Reports suggest that the new E Class will be 55 mm longer and on the inside, its dashboard gets two wide displays for the driver and COMAND infotainment services, a flowing wood trim with multiple small HVAC vents while its lower section, which includes the center console, appears to be inspired by the smaller C Class. Other features include ARTICO leather upholstery, Burmester audio system and ambient lighting.
Under the hood the engine is comprised of next generation 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engines (codename – OM654) along with pre-existing four-cylinder petrol engine. Higher variants will reportedly come with an all new range of 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbo engines, while a 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 engine producing around 550 hp is expected to power the E63 AMG variant.
