Deliveries of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class have commenced in Australia.

The new E-Class utilises the classic “three-box” sedan layout, with a 20mm longer wheelbase.

Outside, there's a new high-gloss black front-end design with an illuminated radiator grille, using LED modules with fibre optic technology (optional with Plus Package). High-performance LED headlights are fitted with more than one million pixels per unit.

Character lines along the side are intended to define a sporty character. Star-motif two-section tail lights provide a “special day and night design”.

For Australia, the E300 – now priced from $131,500 before on-road costs – is fitted with the AMG Line exterior package as standard equipment.

A choice of six metallic paint colours is available, with the addition of three optional premium paint finishes. 20-inch AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels in high-sheen black are fitted as standard.

A drag coefficient of 0.23 has been achieved by the use of front-section sealing, wheels with “aeroblind claddings”, and improved underbody aerodynamics.

Under the bonnet of the E300 is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine combined with an integrated starter-generator (ISG). This system produces a combined 190kW and 400Nm, mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels.

Variable dampers fitted as standard for Australia, with a 15mm lower ride height. Air suspension and rear-axle steering is optional.

The new E300 features the Driving Assistance Plus package as standard, with a comprehensive suite of technologies including (but not limited to): active steering assist, lane change assist, active emergency stop assist, lane keep assist, blind spot warning and more.

Inside the new E300, the cabin has been enlarged for comfort. There are climatised electrically adjustable sports front seats with leather upholstery and a Memory Package.

Infotainment is catered for with the new MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) system with a “Superscreen” display, providing a main 14.4-inch display and a 12.3-inch extendable display for the front passenger. The system also features individualised graphics, smartphone-like functionality, and a new high-power 5G communication module.

The interior of the new E-Class is equipped with several cameras, including a new selfie and video camera on top of the instrument panel. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are integrated into the MBUX system.

The MBUX system also features augmented reality for navigation, and various AI-assisted features, with an optional Plus Package allowing automatically executed functions.

Dual-zone climate control is fitted as standard, with optional four-zone climate control available with the Plus Package, including Digital Vent Control. An in-car fragrance system is available with the optional Energizing Package Plus.

Two loudspeakers are integrated into the roofliner, and two “tactile transducers” are integrated into the front seat backrests. Active light strips along the instrument panel and door panels can be set to synchronise with music.

A Digital Vehicle Key is now available for iPhone and Apple Watch, allowing the driver to start and lock the new E-Class remotely. The Digital Vehicle Key can be shared with up to 15 people, and the vehicle can recognise several people at once.

A network connection is only required for the initial one-time setup and for sharing. The main user always retains the ability to revoke the other users’ access rights.
