Mercedes E-Class L
Mercedes just applied the
“Maybach treatment” on its executive model, the E-Class, launching the extended
wheel base variant exclusively for China at the Beijing Motor Show.
The luxurious limousine was
purposely-developed for the Chinese market and Mercedes says it comes with numerous technical innovations. Its
standout feature, of course, is a more spacious rear compartment, providing an
additional 134 mm of legroom, thanks to its extra 140 mm stretched
wheelbase.
The figures add up to a
total length of 5,063 mm, making the E C-Class L almost as long
as the flagship S-Class (5,116 mm). The car will be available with
two distinct design “characters”, a saloon and a sports saloon – borrowing the
same classic or sporty grille style from the standard variant.
Furthermore, “L” isn’t just
a stretched E-Class, as the German car manufacturer implemented the same
aesthetic solution found on the Maybach. That translates into a triangular
window embedded into the C-pillar and an elongated roofline, thus keeping its
harmonious proportions that give it a dynamic and elegant appearance.
Even though the E-Class L
gets the same comfort and safety amenities as the regular wheelbase E-Class,
the vehicle’s interior has slightly been revamped to emphasize its newly
acquired luxurious characteristics.
