2023 AMG E Class

Jack R. Nerad | Sep 16, 2022

For the 2023 model year, Mercedes-Benz is diving headfirst into the battery-electric vehicle [BEV] pool by introducing and improving several models in the Mercedes-EQ sub-family. An EQE luxury sedan joins the line-topping EQS sedan, while the recently introduced EQB battery-electric crossover SUV gets a new longer-range EQB 250+ variant. The larger EQS SUV brings virtually all the luxury of the EQS sedan to the luxury crossover segment.

While BEVs are gathering many headlines, Mercedes-Benz isn't neglecting its conventional gasoline-powered models. For 2023, the German luxury carmaker is introducing the next generation of its GLC luxury crossover with a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine plus a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Interestingly, Mercedes beefed up the GLC's off-road credentials to accompany its high-luxe interior.

For those interested in enthusiast-style driving, the new Mercedes-AMG C 43 sedan has an engine featuring a first-in-production electric exhaust-gas turbocharger, technology pulled from Formula 1.

Mercedes is also implementing the somewhat controversial Mercedes me connect Store. Customers can purchase MBUX Navigation and Dashcam products through the store via over-the-air updates. It allows them to add digital products to their vehicle that were previously unavailable. Customers can also purchase yearly subscriptions to Mercedes me connect services like remote engine start and live traffic when their one-year complimentary trial expires.

The turbocharged 2.9-litre in-line six-cylinder M256 petrol and turbocharged 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder OM656 diesel units are planned to receive similar upgrades and will be offered with both mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid functionality with up to 435bhp and 330bhp respectively.

All plug-in hybrid versions are set to receive a 28.6kWh battery, the same unit used by the Mercedes S580e, to give them an electric range of over 62 miles.

Every engine is set to be combined with a standard nine-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. Rear-wheel drive will feature on lower-end models, with Mercedes-Benz’s 4Matic four-wheel drive system set to appear on more powerful models, including those from AMG.

Styling-wise, the new model adopts a look similar to the latest Mercedes-Benz S-Class, with a bolder front end comprising more angular headlights and a large chromed grille. While heavily disguised on the prototype captured here, the rear is described as a mixture between the S-Class and new Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Alongside the saloon model previewed by the prototype seen here, Mercedes-Benz also plans to follow up today’s E-Class Estate and E-Class All Terrain with successor models, due out in 2024.

Mercedes-Benz is not giving too much away about the future of the E-Class Coupé and E-Class Cabriolet, although it is believed a new CLE – a moniker recently trademarked by Mercedes – could serve as a replacement for both of these cars and the smaller two-door C-Class models.

One of the last models to be based on Mercedes-Benz’s existing MRA platform, the new E-Class saloon receives a slightly longer wheelbase than today’s fifth-generation model. The track widths have also been increased, giving the new 2023 model a larger footprint and interior dimensions.

The double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension has been modified to fit the new dimensions of the platform structure. It will be offered in combination with an optional air suspension and, for the first time on the E-Class, a rear-wheel steering system offering up to 10deg of steering at the rear.

The engines, mounted in their traditional longitudinal position, will be reduced in number and – in selected models – capacity, too.

Mercedes-Benz is determined to once again make the new E-Class the safest car in its class. As well as adopting all the various driving assistant systems from the larger S-Class, the sixth-generation model is also set to support level three autonomous driving functionality with lidar based sensors.

Inside, the new E-Class adopts a similar dashboard architecture to that of the latest C-Class and S-Class. The set-up includes digital instruments in a free-standing display panel, optionally with 3D graphics, and a portrait-style display within the centre console for the infotainment functions.
