2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB Version
Development of Mercedes's new W213
generation E-Class continues, as the executive saloon will receive a long
wheelbase version for the Chinese market.
Kept hidden away by Mercedes-Benz and
revealed in all of its glory by China's PCauto, the vehicle reportedly benefits
from 140 mm of extra wheelbase, while its total length has increased by
142 mm.
Visual differences from the standard
sedan are limited at the longer rear doors, as the rest of the car seems to be
identical. Inside, the same two displays, each with a 12.3-inch screen
diagonal, are visible, along with the rest of the goodies found on regular
saloon sibling.
Mercedes-Benz
will offer the new E-Class LWB in E200 L and E200 L forms, both sporting a
2.0-liter four-pot engine, producing 181 hp and 241 hp,
respectively. Price is expected to stand in the
400,000 - 600,000 yuan range (US$ 61,200 - 91,200).
