Design & Exterior

The E-Class showcases Mercedes-Benz’s elegant design language with a balanced and flowing profile. Its long bonnet, sharp LED headlights with DRLs, chrome-accented grille, and sleek LED taillamps give it a commanding yet graceful road presence. The latest model features a long wheelbase in India, offering limousine-like rear seat space. Stylish alloy wheels and a sculpted rear bumper complete its executive look.
