Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has teased the upcoming launch of the W214-generation E-Class, showcasing the vehicle’s front fascia in a recent teaser. The all-new model, unveiled globally last April, is expected to make its Malaysian debut soon.
Globally it is offered with a diverse range of powertrain options. The lineup includes three mild hybrid (MHEV) variants: the E220 d, E220 d 4MATIC, and E200. Three plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models are available: the E300 e, E300 e 4MATIC, and E400 e 4MATIC.
Looking at our market of the current generation (W213) E-Class, it is expected to initially offer the 4-cylinder petrol-powered E200 variant, equipped with 204 hp and 320 Nm. A potential future addition to the E-Class lineup is the plug-in hybrid E300 e, combining a 204 hp internal combustion engine with a 129 hp electric motor for a combined system output of 308 hp and 550 Nm.
The latest W214 E-Class PHEV models offer an increased electric range of up to 115 km, thanks to a larger 25.4 kWh battery. This represents a significant improvement over the previous generation W213 E350 e, which had a range of 33 km with a smaller 6.2 kWh battery.

The optional front passenger display offers additional functionality without compromising driver safety through an intelligent blocking feature.

Standard features include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking, and driver attention monitoring with enhanced alerts.
