4. Powertrain
The entire 2025 lineup is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine with 48V mild hybrid system, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9G-TRONIC):
| Model | Max Power | Max Torque | 0-100km/h Acceleration | Combined Fuel Consumption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E 260 L | 150kW (204hp) | 320N·m | ~7.5s | 6.6L/100km |
| E 300 L | 190kW (258hp) | 400N·m | 6.23s | 6.55L/100km |
The E 300 L delivers strong performance with ample mid-to-high range acceleration for confident highway overtaking. The 48V mild hybrid system effectively improves fuel efficiency, with real-world combined consumption around 8-9L/100km.
5. Chassis and Handling
The vehicle employs front and rear multi-link independent suspension, with higher trims featuring AIR BODY CONTROL air suspension system that automatically adjusts ride height, balancing comfort and handling stability. The chassis tuning prioritizes comfort, yet precise steering and stable body control still provide enjoyable driving dynamics. The E 260 L 4MATIC version features all-wheel drive for enhanced stability on wet surfaces.
6. Safety Features
Active Safety: Full lineup includes Level 2 intelligent driving assistance as standard, featuring ACC adaptive cruise control, lane centering, active braking, automatic lane change assist, and autonomous on/off-ramp capabilities. Higher trims support highway autonomous driving.
Passive Safety: Features PRE-SAFE® system, 360° surround view camera, automatic parking assist, and blind spot monitoring.
7. Space and Practicality
The long wheelbase creates spacious rear legroom – a 187cm-tall passenger enjoys 1 fist + 4 fingers of legroom and 2 fingers of headroom, meeting business transportation needs. Rear seats feature standard independent climate control and power adjustment (on higher trims), with ample trunk volume and good practicality.
8. Market Competitiveness

-
Traditional rivals: BMW 5 Series, Audi A6L
-
EV disruption: Domestic premium new energy vehicles like AITO M9 challenge with intelligence and value proposition
The E-Class remains a top choice for business professionals around 40 years old, thanks to its brand prestige, luxurious quality, proven mechanical excellence, and localized long-wheelbase advantages. The 2025 model continues to consolidate its benchmark status in the luxury sedan segment through upgraded features and intelligent technology enhancements.
