2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

The Mercedes have rich tradition the range of sedans, coupes and wagons will receive a round of updates to keep it looking and feeling fresh against some of the newer competition.

Timing for the United States is yet to be announced but the first of the updated E-Class models

The new 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is better from the smaller C-Class which can easily be mistaken for its more expensive sibling.

Of more significance will be tech updates made to the car. Key among these will be Mercedes' MBUX infotainment system which features a large touchscreen (10.25 inches as standard on the updated E-Class) that can be operated much like a smartphone or tablet. The infotainment system also includes natural speak voice activation and the ability to recognize certain gestures. A new steering wheel with touch-sensitive surfaces will also enable a new degree of control for the driver.

Mercedes will also offer its latest electronic driver-assist features. One of the new, more advanced items is an enhancement for the adaptive cruise control. The system can use live traffic updates to recognize and respond to a add of traffic on a highway well before the driver is even aware of the situation. When it detects traffic ahead and the driver doesn't take any actions, the system will automatically slow the vehicle to 62 mph as a precaution.

The brake assist now also integrates a cross traffic warning feature at intersections, meaning the brakes can automatically be applied when there is a danger of a collision with oncoming traffic when making a turn. And the surround-view camera system has been updated so that the entire side view of the vehicle is shown. This makes it easier when driving close to parallel objects such as curbs and garage walls.

2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class engine options

We'll also see new engines in the engine department of the updated E-Class—including the availability of plug-in hybrid models in the U.S. for the first time. The range will kick off with the E350 which was added for 2020, whose 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 should continue to offer 255 horsepower. Above this should remain an E450, albeit with a 3.0-liter inline-6 and mild-hybrid setup replacing the current E450's V-6.

New plug-in hybrid models should also feature the inline-6. Mercedes has confirmed seven plug-in hybrid models for its updated E-Class range, which will also cater to buyers seeking all-wheel drive, as well as a wagon. It isn't clear which plug-in models will reach the U.S., though.

An E63 from AMG will continue to be the range-topper, with its engine to remain a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8. Peak output could be lifted beyond the current model's 603 horsepower in E63 S trim, though.
