Mercedes-Benz and BMW brands as the same German luxury brand, the current two car companies in various levels of model competition is still very fierce, such as the entry-level Mercedes-Benz A-class and BMW 1 series, as well as the SUV field in the GLA and X1, can get a lot of consumers' favor, and in the mainstream mid-size sedan and SUV market, C-class and 3 series, GLC and X3 are also tit-for-tat, each of them as the biggest competitor. Of course, the same is true in the new energy market, BMW has long launched a 5-series hybrid model, and mercedes-Benz E-class is not idle, taking out the E-class PHEV model to compete, today to understand it.
Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV is currently on sale for 2022 models, divided into E350 e-L plug-in hybrid sedan and E350 e-L plug-in hybrid sports sedan, with a guidance price of 518,300 yuan. Today's interpretation is the E350 e L plug-in hybrid model, which is biased towards a solemn, elegant style. See if it's worth getting started?
In terms of appearance, today's Mercedes-Benz E-Class adopts a polygonal grille with a reduced area, which is slightly insufficient compared with the previous generation model, of course, the design of the current Mercedes-Benz family model has begun to change, which is mainly the reason for the change of the designer. Of course, the Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV also follows the design style after the replacement, and it is good that the practice of setting up the standard can still reflect a certain momentum. The shape of the LED automatic headlight group is still very sharp, and there are many chrome trim strips under the bumper, which makes the front face still very delicate.
Coming to the side, the body shape of the Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV is still elegant, using a straight waist line through the front and back, which looks more solemn. The body length of 5078mm and the wheelbase of 3079mm are relatively normal in the same class. Of course, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class PHEV uses 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, as well as Pirelli tires with a front 245 width and a 275 width rear, and the grip performance is in place.
Coming to the rear of the car, the LED taillights of the Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV have become more slender, although the visual effect after lighting is very unique, but the shape is closer to the Mercedes-Benz A-class, and the center is still connected by chrome trim, which is much more exquisite than the A-class. Under the bumper are the double-sided exhaust outlets, surrounded by chrome trim.
Entering the car, the interior design of the Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV is still the leading level of the same level, and the center console is covered with a large area of dark leather wrapping and brown wood grain trim panels, coupled with the atmosphere of the 64-color atmosphere lamp, I believe that the lethality of consumers is still very large. Of course, the design of the central control touch screen and the instrument cluster are also very technological, and the central control touch screen specification reaches 12.3 inches, and supports a wealth of interconnection and voice recognition control functions.
The multifunctional steering wheel of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class PHEV is still wrapped in leather and paddle shifters have been added. In front is a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, which can display a wealth of functions, of course, Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV also supports wireless charging of front-row mobile phones. In terms of safety configuration, active braking, front-and-rear reversing radar, parallel assist, 360-degree panoramic image, automatic parking and other functions are readily available, which is in line with the performance of executive-level luxury cars.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class PHEV adopts a leather-like seat, and supports front heating and electric adjustment functions, and the "boss key" is also set on the side of the passenger seat, which is more suitable for administrative travel. The space of the rear seats is very spacious, and the cup holders and armrests are also complete, but the central platform bulge under the feet is more obvious, which is not suitable for long rides.
From overhead, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class PHEV uses a segmented electric sunroof, which can fully take care of the lighting needs of the front and rear rows. However, the electric induction trunk needs to be optional, because the battery occupies a part of the volume, so the conventional volume of the trunk is not large, and the rear seat does not support reclining, which affects the expansion ability of the trunk.
In terms of power, Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV is still equipped with a 2.0T turbo engine of the 274 series, which can output 155kW of peak power, as well as 350N·m of peak torque, the parameter performance is not outstanding, but under the blessing of the 90kW electric motor, it can achieve a comprehensive peak power of 235kW, and under the blessing of the 9-speed manual transmission, it can achieve 6.7 seconds of 0-100km acceleration performance. The 25.4kWh ternary lithium battery can also achieve a pure electric mileage of 120km, and the general short commute does not need to consume fuel, so the comprehensive fuel consumption under THEDC working conditions is only 1.4L/100km.
In terms of chassis, Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV continues to use the front-facing rear-drive structure, and is equipped with an independent suspension of the front and rear multi-link structure, which can ensure good handling performance, of course, comfort and sound insulation tranquility are the "killer skills" of Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV, which is still a benchmark in executive-level luxury cars. Of course, the wind noise performance in high-speed driving is not satisfactory, and there is room for further improvement.
Write at the end:
After the upgrading, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class can still maintain a leading advantage in the executive-level luxury car market, mainly in the exterior design, interior performance and configuration level, which can reflect enough sincerity. Although the Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV is good in fuel consumption and power performance, the engine still uses the 2.0T engine of the previous generation of the 274 series, which is indeed a bit unkind, so although the current Mercedes-Benz E-class PHEV can still enjoy about 20,000 yuan of terminal discounts, it still has a low sense of existence.
