The Mercedes Benz MB W213 is a car of the upper middle class of Mercedes Benz. It belongs to the E-Class and is built since April 2016 as a sedan W213 and as a T-model S213. The W213 is the successor to the W212. For the first time came with the W213 the T-model in March 2017 as off-road variant All-Terrain on the market. Likewise, in the spring of 2017, the Coupé C238 came as an independent series 238 on the market. This is supplemented since the summer of 2017 by the Cabriolet A238.
In design, the new E-Class follows the current C-Class, the GLA and the S-Class Coupé. The headlights are designed as well as the rear completely new. The rear lights are exclusively available in LED version with three-level brightness adjustment for different traffic and brightness situations. As in all recent Mercedes models, two grille versions are planned. Either the more traditional louvred grille with star as a hood figure, or the sportier front with one to two cross louvres and a big Mercedes star in the middle. The cockpit is optionally equipped with a 15 cm high and 70 cm wide HD monitor. In addition, a head-up display is available for the first time in the E-Class and further functions for operation via two touchpads on the multifunction steering wheel are planned.
With the new series, a further step towards autonomous driving is planned. Nine partially new assistance systems are planned. The vehicle receives many features previously available only in the S-Class. Just to name a few:
- A lane keeping system called Intelligent Drive
- Steering Pilot
- Active Brake Assist and Evasive Steering Assist (collision warning)
- Car-to-X Communication
- Smartphone-App Remote Parking Pilot
- Smartphone-App Digital Car Key
- Adaptive LED headlights
In the modified 238 series, the E-Class has been available since 2017 as the Coupé C238 and the cabrio A238.
