2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Hybrid

2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Hybrid at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.
Mercedes-Benz will unveil a new hybrid system for its E-Class sedan at the 2012 Detroit auto show. The trim, called the 2013 Mercedes-Benz E400 Hybrid, will feature compact hybrid components attached to Mercedes' standard 3.5-liter V-6.
The gas/electric hybrid system — which includes auto start-stop, regenerative braking and pure electric driving, depending on speed — has an estimated 24/31 mpg city/highway rating and a 27 mpg combined rating, according to Mercedes. The system, which was originally featured on the S-Class, improves gas mileage by about 17% over the standard E350. The compact nature of the hybrid system means that neither passenger nor cargo space has been compromised, Mercedes says.
 It's a marked improvement in gas mileage, but the gains do not compare favorably to the 2013 Lexus GS 450h (29/34/31 mpg) or the 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid (27/32/29 mpg). BMW hasn't announced mileage figures for its 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 yet.
Mercedes says its hybrid will only cost moderately more than an E350 sedan, which currently starts at $50,490; the S400 Hybrid is an entry-level offering for the S-Class lineup, for instance. A similar tack might be planned for the E400 Hybrid.
The model will go on sale sometime in the middle of next year, the automaker says. We'll have more information when the hybrid debuts at the 2012 Detroit auto show.
Class. Luxury. Performance. These are the traits one thinks of most when it comes to their Mercedes model. And they wouldn’t be lying to themselves.  Mercedes is all of these things.

Mercedes News

Mercedes C- and E-Class coupes to get AWD option next year.
4Matic has proven to be a popular feature on various Mercedes-Benz models, especially in U.S. regions that experience four distinct seasons. But while all-wheel-drive is almost a necessary option in the luxury sedan segment, Daimler's C-Class and E-Class coupes have soldiered on only with rear-drive.
According to Car and Driver, that will change for next year. The 4Matic system will reportedly only be offered with the company's 3.5-liter V6, which pumps out 302 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
This news could mean changes for the C-Class sedan as well. Currently, 4Matic is only offered with the 3.0-liter V6-equipped C300 sedan, so this could mean that the C350 sedan could also get an AWD option in 2012. That's good news for grip-loving buyers who want more oomph than the modestly powered 228-horsepower C300 can provide.
CARiD's job is to put our drivers in touch with Mercedes E Class Accessories that deliver the effect they're going for. Whether you're after sporty luxury, sizzling style, or improved protection, our inventory of Mercedes E Class accessories and parts covers all the bases.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Pick-Up Spotted. Back in April, L il-k Amaru drew the new Mercedes-Ben z C63 AMG Coupe as a pick-up and it was only a matter of time before design became reality. Yes, someone turned their beloved Mercedes-Benz E-Class into a pickup – perhaps to remind us why Mercedes leaves the pick- up segment to Ford and Chevy.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 Wagon.

The answer to your question is: the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 wagon.
What question is that? The one I get asked most: "What's your favourite new car?"
Combining weekly road tests with new vehicle launches and the Canadian Car of the Year competition staged by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, in the course of a year I get to drive about 100 new cars and trucks.
Picking a favourite isn't always easy: there are so many types from which to choose, at so many different price levels. But this year it WAS easy: the E-Class wagon with its powerful and refined 3.5-litre V6, smooooth 7G-Tronic transmission and go-anywhere 4Matic AWD.
As regular readers know, I'm a sucker for station wagons -not SUVs or CUVs that look like tall wagons and often drive like trucks, but real, sedan-based wagons that look and drive like cars.
And the new-for-2011 E350 is Mercedes-Benz E 350 CGI CoupéImage via Wikipediathe ultimate such vehicle -a blend of luxury, drivability and carrying capacity.
It's also one of the few remaining examples of a breed that's endangered in the rest of the world and all but extinct in North America.
Increasing the luxurious profile of your Mercedes can be tasteful and exciting. But you have to make the right decisions. And you can’t accept anything less than authentic quality. CARiD.com is here with an exclusive line of Mercedes Chrome Accessories available in a myriad of radiant options.

Mercedes News.

Mercedes-Benz's U.S. executives expect to add volume with a new range of front-wheel-drive compact cars that arrive starting in 2013 and new derivatives of the redesigned C class due in 2014 or 2015.
Around the world, Mercedes will introduce at least 10 new models by 2020 as part of a plan to become the world's top-selling luxury-vehicle brand by then.
But not all of those vehicles will come to the United States. For example, Mercedes-Benz USA won't take any more large station wagons--including the new CLS Shooting Brake or the freshened C-class wagon--because they don't sell well here.
E class: The E350 coupe and cabriolet got the new 3.5-liter V6 engine in July. This month, the E550 coupe and cabriolet get a new 4.6-liter V8 engine that makes 420 hp. The E550 also gets electromechanical steering.
The range will get a freshening in 2013.
If you're looking to add a whole new dimension to your exterior, Mercedes Body Kits at CARiD are the answer! We'll help you find a Body Kit that turns your "everyday" vehicle into a customized ride that leaves a lasting impression. All of our Body Kits come from top-name designers who've been in the game for years, giving us an advantage in quality no one can compete with.

Mercedes Review.

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class ranks 1 out of 16 Luxury Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 63 published reviews and test drives of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. Please check back soon for our full review.
Impressive interior and exterior styling, as well as competent road manners, makes the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class a serious contender among luxury large cars. While the E-Class lacks sport sedan handling, most reviewers agree that it’s agile enough. However, the COMAND interface, which controls audio and climate functions, is still not the most intuitive system on the market.
The eye-catching exterior and luxurious interior of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan make it stand out among the competition. But the E-Class isn’t just about good looks; a long list of standard safety features and multiple drivetrain configurations mean that shoppers can personalize the E-Class to a greater degree than others on the market. The E-Class’s starting price is high compared to cars like the Audi A6, BM2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 photographed in Washin...Image via WikipediaW 5-Series and Infiniti M, though most reviewers agree it’s tough to match the panache of the Mercedes. “Certainly, there are other choices, especially among sedans,” writes Edmunds. “The BMW 5 Series is sportier, the Jaguar XF is more stylish and the Infiniti M Series is less expensive, but none of these choices has the E-Class sedan's well-rounded excellence.”
The 2011 E-Class sedan is available in three trim levels with different engines: the E350, E550 and E350 BlueTEC. The E350 comes with a 3.5-liter V6 which reviewers say has ample power for most drivers, though those seeking some additional get-up-and-go may prefer the E550’s 5.5-liter V8. Also available for 2011 is the E350 4matic wagon and the E350 BlueTEC sedan. The wagon offers increased cargo space and standard all-wheel drive, while the E350 BlueTEC features a clean diesel 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 and improved fuel economy.CARiD's job is to put our drivers in touch with Mercedes E Class Accessories that deliver the effect they're going for.

Mercedes Grills.

Mercedes-Benz plans to expand its lineup of high-end luxury cars and SUVs in an effort to surpass BMW's record profit.
Mercedes will add variations of its flagship S-Class model after revamping it in 2013 in a bid to become the segment's profit leader, according to two people familiar with the matter. The Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker is also considering a convertible version of the $114,100 CL coupe, they said, declining to be identified discussing internal plans.
BMW and Volkswagen's Audi have grown at more than five times the pace of Mercedes over the past decade by more rapidly increasing their offerings. The 125-year-old manufacturer, which has also dropped to third in profitability, lost the luxury-car sales lead to BMW in 2005 and slipped behind Audi this year.
As times change and tastes evolve, people still want what they consider to be premium manufactured automobiles. Mercedes is still the brand that drivers look to when it comes to delivering luxury performance, advanced safety measures, and refined style in one, exclusive package. Always a name in the highest demand, it is the level of engineering that makes up the bulk of what separates Mercedes from most everyone else, but its emphasis on the detail and textures within the interior that has managed to attract prospective drivers as well. CARiD knows it's an absolute must for you to keep your very own model happy, which means you're going to need the highest quality Mercedes Accessories along with the best value available to do so. The pursuit of happiness begins here.
In today's market, drivers search all over for one item or another because they can't seem to find everything they need in one place.

Then again, so is our wide selection of Mercedes accessories. Make yourself at home.
Mercedes models are well-known for their classy and smooth performance, not to mention the interior comfort that is so alluring. But Mercedes drivers also know that they have to stay on top of their vehicles in order to maintain their status. Plus, who doesn't want to showcase more expression? Mercedes Grills have a feverish tendency to raise the bar for every member of this vaunted roster. Perhaps that's why custom grilles are always in such high demand. CARiD.com gives you a chance with the added luxury reinforcement for the front of your pleasure cruiser like no one else.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

In past generations, she was often labeled planet Earth's favorite taxi. (Or have you always preferred the Ford Crown Victoria with the shiny black leatherette?) The Mercedes-Benz E-Class, however, has long since graduated to become a premium middle-management darling in all corners of the globe.
Still, even Mercedes-Benz North America would have to admit that a mid-life and/or new model year E-Class is not generally a traffic-stopping event. This time around, however, there's more going on with Mercedes' ninth-generation contender than, say, adding a new Pipe Smoker's Package or overhead cold beverage storage-TRONIC. And while it may still not cause a road block, this mid-shelf-life version of the W212 E-Class should, at least, make everyone slow down to rubberneck a bit, because the new V6 and V8 E-Class wants to take you farther on a full tank while making more power and torque to exercise your executive privileges.
When the freshened E350 shows up this September with its M276 3.5-liter V6, it's expected to remain the lion of the line, with 80 percent of North American E-Class sales. It will continue to come in all three main bodystyles – sedan, coupe and convertible. All individual options and packages will be available for these three core Es. The E350 4Matic wagon will also remain, but it won't be alone – it'll be joined by the rear-drive E63 AMG Wagon with the latest M157 518-horsepower 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8 (550-hp with AMG Performance Package) to duke it out with the supercharged 556-hp Cadillac CTS-V Wagon. (*cue the singing angels*). There will naturally also be an E63 AMG sedan coming over with the new engine underhood.
In the meantime, all E550 V8 units sold in the U.S. will be sold only as 4Matics with Sport Styling included. That means no rear-wheel-drive E550s and no Luxury Styling pack for the V8, either.
And let's not forget the E350 BlueTEC rear-wheel-drive-only sedan with its 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. This one stays as is while adopting any tweaks inside and out.
WIND & RAIN DEFLECTORS. Every driver notices the switch. What starts off as a breeze turns into a howl. You go from effortlessly cruising down the highway to careening in and out of your lane. Wind Deflectors cut down the airstreams and raindrops that hamper your daily travels. CARiD offers a terrific selection of Side Window Mercedes Deflectors that make driving during blustery weather more manageable than ever. All of our Rain Deflectors come from brand names like WeatherTech® and PUTCO® to guarantee top-quality unmatched anywhere else. Easy installation with a smooth custom fit make Wind Deflectors a "must have" for all!

Mercedes-Benz SLS.

Though today the letters stand for power and performance, if you go back four decades, almost nobody had ever heard of a tuning garage called AMG. That was until the Mercedes-Benz tuner showed up at the 1971 running of the 24 Hours of Spa with... a luxury sedan. But not just any luxury sedan.
AMG took the 300 SEL 6.3, complete with wood dash and carpeted floors, bored it out to 6.8 liters and raised output up to 428 horsepower and 448 lb-ft of torque. With a top speed of 164 mph, the car qualified fifth out of sixty entries and went on to place first in its class and second overall, beating the likes of Niki Lauda and Hans Stuck. It was a pivotal moment that put AMG on the map.
Hans Heyer was one of the three drivers who alternated behind the wheel of the car dubbed the "Red Pig" that fateful day. And now forty years later, his son Kenneth Heyer is returning to Spa in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 in matching livery to the original. It's a trip down the memory lane of AMG's history – though not the first – reuniting one of its first race cars to its most recent, seven of which, all told, will be contesting the Belgian endurance race this weekend. Scope it out in our high-res image gallery and follow the jump for Continue Reading »

Mercedes Spoilers turn up the heat in the luxury department, highlighting the refined exterior strengths each model seems to hold in spades. As a rule, many perceive spoilers to be geared primarily towards racing enthusiasts or teenage kids who like to zip around the neighborhood. Spoilers can act as elegant additions to the profile, earmarking your ride’s presence to the masses in a whole different way than even the factory package intended. That’s what it’s all about, so why waste time with generic options? You need top-of-the-line quality to get it done. CARiD.com is with you every step of the way with all of the premier brand-names you should expect when it comes to your Mercedes Spoiler at the best value available.
You want options when it comes to your Mercedes Spoiler.

Locked onto the right vehicle, they can present an image upgrade that lasts forever. Don’t just leave that to chance – trust CARiD.com to be there for you when it matters most!

Mercedes Grills.

The new Cabriolet offers the wealth of safety innovations one would expect from a Mercedes-Benz model. Highlights of the open-top two-door model include roll-over protection, the A-pillars reinforced by two additional tubes and the plug-in B-pillars. This new model is also the first Mercedes cabriolet to feature headbags.
The roll-over protection consists of two robust bars, each with a diameter of 1.4 inches, which are housed in the rear head restraints in modules behind the rear seat backrests. A tilting cone sensor detects imminent danger to the occupants based on extreme skidding movements or acceleration caused by impact. If this sensor then sends a corresponding signal, pre-tensioned pressure springs are activated by pyrotechnic means, i.e. extremely quickly.
Consequently, both roll-over bars in the rear head restraints are extended. They reach their highest point and are locked automatically within a fraction of a second. In combination with the robust A-pillars, each of which is reinforced with two high-strength steel tubes, the steel bars provide highly effective roll-over
protection.

But Mercedes drivers also know that they have to stay on top of their vehicles in order to maintain their status. Plus, who doesn't want to showcase more expression?

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe.

Mercedes-Benz has released more details on the new two-door E-Class Coupé. The Coupé is based on the new W212 E-Class platform and replaces the old CLK range. The hard-top four-seater has no B-pillars and features fully retractable side windows. Mercedes-Benz says it has the lowest Cd figure of all series-production cars in the world at just 0.24. That makes it extremely aerodynamic.
Fitted standard with the car is Merc's Agility Control suspension system which automatically adjusts to suit prevailing road conditions. Safety features include the Pre-Safe system which has the brake feature that automatically brakes the car if it detects the imminent danger of a collision and the driver has not reacted to preceding warnings. Attention Assist is another interesting one which uses about 70 parameters in order to determine if the driver is still alert or not.
The engine models in the diesel category are the E250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY with 150kW (204hp) and 500Nm of torque. It has an average fuel consumption figure of 5.1 litres per 100km. Next is the E350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY making 170kW (231hp) and maximum torque of 540Nm. Average fuel for this model is 6.8 litres per 100km on the EU cycle.
Listed petrols are the 150kW (204hp) E250 CGI, the E350 CGI good for 215kW (292hp) and the E500 V8 that puts out 285kW (388hp) and 530Nm of torque.
The COMAND control centre on the front cluster uses a similar wheel to that of the S-Class to control aspects like the CD player, radio, telephone and satellite navigation.
Trim choices are the Elegance and Avantgarde with each offering different customers what they require. An AMG Sports pack will also be sold. It comes with 18-inch AMG light alloy wheels, a sports suspension, two-tone interior leather and a sports pedal cluster among others.
CARiD's job is to put our drivers in touch with Mercedes E Class Accessories that deliver the effect they're going for.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review.

Long a favorite in the midsize luxury segment, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has provided an appealing mix of comfort, performance and safety for decades. The trademark qualities of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, such as vaultlike solidity and leading-edge technology, have also contributed to the E-Class' great popularity among luxury buyers.
With variants ranging from fuel-efficient diesels to ultra-high-performance AMG models, there's an E-Class for just about anyone -- provided they have the financial resources to procure one, of course. Through the years, V6-powered models such as the E320 and E350 have offered respectable performance along with respectable fuel efficiency, while V8 models such as the E430, E500 and E550 have delivered truly autobahn-worthy driving dynamics.
The overall design of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has always been understated yet elegant. The interiors of the early models were comfortable but hardly lavish. However, the more recent models have grown quite luxurious, with generous helpings of leather, wood and chrome trim throughout, as well as the latest high-tech features. The E-Class stands tall among luxury cars as a tasteful and strong-performing entrant.
Proper vehicle maintenance leads to improved performance, and every driver can relate to that. In order to keep your vehicle humming along with efficiency, sometimes you have to step it up a notch. Mersedes Cold Air Intakes and Air Filters are the perfect ingredient for those who know how to punch the pedal with authority, and CARiD has just what you need! We offer the latest top-quality Air Intakes and Air Filters that turn hot dirty air into the cool clean breeze your engine embraces.

Mercedes E-Class Tail Lights.

While it was already well known that the range-topping Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG will be packing a beastly new twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 for 2012, what wasn’t known was that changes would also come under the hoods of the lesser E350 and E550 models as well. Mercedes-Benz has now revealed that the 302 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque 3.5-liter direct-injection V6 found under the hood of the SLK350 will now work its way under the hood of the E350 as well – a decision that should come as little surprise. This new engine sees a modest jump of 14 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque compared to the engine it replaces, and a new seven-speed transmission should further help to boost mpgs as well.

The second previously unconfirmed Mercedes E-Class model to receive an update for 2012 is the E550, which will see the 5.5-liter naturally aspirated engine from which it received its name replaced with a direct-injected, twin-turbocharged 4.6-liter engine. As is the case with the E350, this isn’t the first time this engine has been revealed, as it was born in the CL550 coupe previously.
Luxury isn’t limited to body-styles, performance, and interior comfort. Sometimes, it’s an added flair of exotic radiance that brings it all out. That’s why Mercedes Custom Tail Lights are such a hotly-desired upgrade. Mercedes Custom Taillights produce a distinctive glow that displays more color and brightness than OEM taillights ever could! Our selection tells the story, as we offer a full line of Mercedes LED Tail Lights and Mercedes Euro Tail Lights in a variety of sizzling flavors. Take your pick of Crystal Clear, Red Clear, Bermuda Black, and more! Mercedes LED Tail Lights are a great compliment to the elegant essence your vehicle is known for.

Since we bring in the most respected manufacturers in the game, every pair of Mercedes Custom Taillights we carry is guaranteed to provide a precise OEM fit with no complications. Mercedes LED Taillights are an immediate improvement over the dull, impersonal lighting factory lamps d

2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

According to a leaked dealer order guide for the
2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class range, we red-blooded Yankees might be able to once again sink our teeth into the super-hot E63 AMG Estate. As you'll recall, Mercedes-Benz decided not to offer the new-for-2010 E63 wagon here in the States, but that is wrong is reportedly being righted for 2012. BenzBoost.com reports that the cargo-hauling AMG stunner will be available for U.S. customers later this year, powered by the same twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 that debuted in the E63 sedan at last month's New York Auto Show, complete with start/stop technology and mated to a seven-speed MCT dual-clutch transmission.
We can already picture the inevitable E63 AMG Wagon vs. Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon battle, and it looks awesome.
In other E-Class news, BenzBoost reports that the E550 sedan – which gets a new 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 – will only be available with 4Matic all-wheel drive. A similar move was made to the 2011 CL550 coupe, which uses the same engine and is no longer available in a two-wheel-drive configuration. Stay tuned for the official details later this year.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E550 Cabriolet: Driven.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E550 Cabriolet. The E550 Cabriolet looks the part of luxury convertible cruiser in every way. It's not the sort of luxury convertible that you'd take the family to the Whippi-Dip; rather the one you'd use to take the friends out to gelato on a hot summer night.
From pretty much every angle, whether you're following the chiseled, pointed front end, bold mesh-backed grille, and uninhibited three-pointed star in front; or the graceful fender crease in back, which rolls through with complexity to the rear lights; it's a beauty.
There's certainly that, but there's more. As I found when I had the chance to drive the
E-Class Cabriolet a couple of times over the past several months, the E550 has a lot more attitude—and quickness—than you might think.
More attitude, and it's seriously quick.
First off, the E550 doesn't have the strong-yet-demure, turbine-like character that's accompanied pretty much every other non-AMG Mercedes-Benz V-8 in recent history. This current one—making 382 horsepower from 5.5 liters—is a little more extroverted than we've come to expect, especially here in the Cabriolet. Just off its slightly lumpy idle, there's a deep, resonant bark, and rev toward the top and the V-8 sings out with a growl and a surprising bite, impressing as more than a little AMG-like.
It's fast. The E550 Cabriolet can get to 60 mph in the low-five-second range, according to track testing from several sources.
A seven-speed automatic transmission comes hooked up to the V-8 and seemed to adapt quickly to different driving styles—not at all wasting revs when we were just plodding along with traffic but holding gears a bit longer when we'd just been tromping it in the curves. Dial up Sport mode—which commands stiffer damper settings—and the transmission earns a little more eagerness. Paddle-shifters are there, but I only felt compelled to use them a couple of times.
When you own a vehicle, you always want it to be at its best. And that takes more than just oil changes and the occasional car wash. You need more. CARiD.com specializes in providing drivers with car accessories and truck accessories that add a distinctive touch. Whether you're searching for style, protection, or comfort, we host a wide array of auto accessories for you to choose from. Every major aftermarket manufacturer is on display at CARiD.com.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class - What the Auto Press Says.
Impressive interior and exterior styling, as well as competent road manners, makes the
2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class a serious contender among luxury large cars. While the E-Class lacks sport sedan handling, most reviewers agree that it’s agile enough. However, the COMAND interface, which controls audio and climate functions, is still not the most intuitive system on the market.
The eye-catching exterior and luxurious interior of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan make it stand out among the competition. But the E-Class isn’t just about good looks; a long list of standard safety features and multiple drivetrain configurations mean that shoppers can personalize the E-Class to a greater degree than others on the market. The E-Class’s starting price is high compared to cars like the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series and Infiniti M, though most reviewers agree it’s tough to match the panache of the Mercedes. “Certainly, there are other choices, especially among sedans,” writes Edmunds. “The BMW 5 Series is sportier, the Jaguar XF is more stylish and the Infiniti M Series is less expensive, but none of these choices has the E-Class sedan's well-rounded excellence.”
The 2011 E-Class sedan is available in three trim levels with different engines: the E350, E550 and E350 BlueTEC. The E350 comes with a 3.5-liter V6 which reviewers say has ample power for most drivers, though those seeking some additional get-up-and-go may prefer the E550’s 5.5-liter V8. Also available for 2011 is the E350 4matic wagon and the E350 BlueTEC sedan. The wagon offers increased cargo space and standard all-wheel drive, while the E350 BlueTEC features a clean diesel 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 and improved fuel economy.
