The all new Mercedes-Benz E-Class takes<br />
luxury to a whole new dimension as<br />
Vikram Gour got to find out on a drive<br />
through sunny Goa!<br />
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been around for close<br />
to 20 years now in India and currently there are over<br />
34,000 of them on our roads. With each generation,<br />
Mercedes-Benz definitely upped the game; however the<br />
latest one is an evolutionary step ahead of the others. It<br />
is bigger, styled to perfection and comes with enough<br />
gizmos and gadgets to keep a technophile happy as well.<br />
Set your eyes on the new E-Class and the first thing that<br />
hits you is its sheer size. This is the first extended wheelbase<br />
Mercedes-Benz E-Class to be offered in India and it<br />
measures over 5,000mm in length. As compared to the<br />
older E-Class, this is a full 184mm longer and boasts a<br />
3,000mm wheelbase. The new design language goes a<br />
long way in disguising the length as everything looks<br />
rather proportional and the elegant character lines play<br />
a vital role in creating that aura of elegance that the E-<br />
Class has always been known for. Further you get the<br />
classy looking LED high performance headlamps up<br />
front, a nice large two-slat grille with the large threepointed<br />
star integrated as part of the design, a panoramic<br />
sunroof, neat 17-inch alloys and a rear that resembles<br />
that of the S-Class. The new version might not look as<br />
edgy as its predecessor, however it definitely has a classier<br />
appeal; something that aficionados will appreciate.<br />
