I won the 2021 Beijing Benz E300L E260L.
At the beginning of March, the domestic long-wheelbase version released 2021 redesigned models, only six months after the release of 2021 mid-term redesigned products in September 2020. The new product cancels the 1.5T+48V light hybrid power of the previously controversial E260L model, adopts a 2.0T low-power engine +48V light hybrid system, and completely removes the "small displacement" hat. The price range of 10 models is 43.99-562,900 yuan. The new car still offers two styles, the standard version and the sports version, and there is also a certain upgrade in configuration. Recently, we took a real shot of the 2021 modified 00L sports luxury model (hereinafter referred to) in Daxing, Baoan, Shenzhen, to see the specific changes.
New car features:
First, the mid-term change model will be changed again in the year, and the appearance will continue to be standard and sporty.
Second, the carriage adopts the classic layout of double 12.3-inch continuous screen, and the sense of luxury atmosphere is the strongest in its class.
Third, E260L model cancels the 1.5T+48V light mixing system and replaces it with a 2.0T low-power engine +48V light mixing system.
Four, 00L fashion increase the whole car keyless entry, electric trunk and induction trunk.
V. The driver assistance enhancement kit including adaptive cruise is added to the 00L distinguished model.
The 2021 E-class itself is a mid-term product, and its appearance has changed greatly. As an annual redesigned model, the appearance and interior are not the key points. The configuration and power of some models are mainly adjusted to achieve the purpose of increasing distribution and enhancing competitiveness. Still provide a standard and sporty double-style appearance. In terms of color, the new car only offers two color schemes, Obsidian Black and Arctic White, which is not personalized enough.
The front face still provides standard and sporty double-style modeling, the sports version adds a sports kit, and the flat middle net is decorated with a complex grille, which matches the huge round LOGO;; The standard version fills the net with multi-spoke trims, and the LOGO stands above the hood. The two versions bring different visual effects and are suitable for users of different ages.
The headlights have been redesigned, and the original dual-spoke LED daytime running light has been changed into a brush with a folded corner in calligraphy, which is as close as possible to the latest family style. The high-profile models are also equipped with geometric multi-beam LED light sources, which have more intelligent effects. The side cheeks are not equipped with front fog lights, and the sports version adopts a more exaggerated double-spoke diversion groove shape, which looks a lot of spirit.
The body size has not changed, the length, width and height are still 5078/1860/1480mm (1490mm for four-wheel drive version) and the wheelbase is 3079 mm. Compared with the main competing products at the same level, it has no size advantage and the overall performance is moderate.
The exterior rearview mirror is decorated in black, and the shell is integrated with LED side turn light and side camera. Except E260L model (reversing image), it is equipped with 360 panoramic images, and the display screen is very clear. The E300L model also comes standard with electric adjustment, folding, memory, heating, automatic reverse rollover, automatic lock folding and automatic anti-glare functions, while the E260L model lacks memory, automatic reverse rollover and automatic anti-glare.
The door handle with the same color on the body is decorated with chrome, and the keyless entry function of the whole vehicle is standard except E260L models. Among them, the E300L fashion model in this redesigned model has increased the keyless entry function of the whole vehicle.
The whole system comes standard with 245/45 R18 front and rear wheels, and the wheels with five-spoke petal shape look very fashionable. The tires are matched with Han Tai Ventus Evo 20,000 Tushi series products, which are high-performance tires focusing on sports and handling.
The tail shape of the new car pays more attention to flattening, inheriting the flat conical taillights of the "Big Brother" S class, and the multi-point lighting effect looks radiant. The bottom still adopts double exhaust pipes on both sides, and the nozzle is decorated with quadrilateral chrome-plated frame and connected with chrome-plated strips, so the overall exquisiteness is still very high.
The layout of the car has not changed, and the digital cockpit is still composed of double 12.3-inch integrated screens. The bent center console is particularly beautiful under the decoration of the ambient light, and the connection with the door panel is also smooth. The design and luxury of the car are still very prominent. The car is equipped with the latest MBUX intelligent interactive system, and the playability is further improved.
The steering wheel has been replaced with a new family style, and the left and right double-spoke shapes have increased the three-dimensional effect, and the functional area division is also clearer. Among them, the left side is mainly the driver assistance system, and the right side mainly controls multimedia, etc. The center still uses touch mode, which feels good. The E300L Premium Model adds an enhanced version of driver assistance components including lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, road traffic sign recognition and adaptive cruise. In addition, the size of the steering wheel is too large, the grip is particularly full, and the touch of the leather is also delicate.
The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel is standard for the whole system, and the UI interface basically continues the style of the old model (2020 model), providing three themes to choose from, and the information status of various vehicles can be seen at a glance.
The 12.3-inch central control panel is also standard for the whole system. Compared with the old model (2020 model), the car is equipped with Mercedes-Benz’s latest MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, which, like the new generation, can be controlled by touch screen, touch keys, touchpad and voice recognition. At the same time, it also supports fashionable functions such as navigation and OTA upgrade, and the human-computer interaction experience is greatly improved.
The air-conditioning outlet still adopts the classic four-circle shape, and the air-conditioning system, multimedia and vehicle function panels below are basically unchanged. The clock in the center of the old model (2020 model) is cancelled, and the functionality is no problem, and the style is less tasteful.
The central armrest is made of very textured solid wood, which looks quite luxurious. There are two water cups, a Type-C interface, a 12V power supply and a mobile phone storage compartment with wireless charging function under the foldable cover, which is unique. Although the 12.3-inch central control panel has achieved touch control, it still retains the control panel of COMMAND, which will be more convenient for the old users of Mercedes-Benz. The buttons on both sides include driving mode adjustment, parking radar, 360 panoramic image, automatic start and stop, volume adjustment, screen switch, sunshade opening and closing and other functional buttons.
The split armrest box has a large opening and a good volume, and two Type-C interfaces are built in.
Mercedes-Benz has always been a benchmark for the construction of cockpit interiors, and this car is no exception. The center console is covered with a large area of soft leather, decorated with rich wooden decorative plates and chrome trim strips, and with the addition of penetrating atmosphere lights, the vision, touch and smell of the carriage are very pleasant, and the 13-speaker Burmester Berlin sound creates a first-class auditory experience. This cockpit can really make people stay for a long time without getting tired.
The front seats are wrapped in imitation leather (the top models are made of genuine leather), the padding is moderate in hardness, and the side supports of the seats are in place. The front and rear, backrest, height (4-way) and waist (4-way) electric adjustments are supported by the main and co-pilot seats, and leg rest adjustments are also provided, so the ergonomics is well done. The front seats also support the functions of heating, memory, and adjustment of the front and rear seats. Seat ventilation and rear seat heating need to be optional.
The rear seat is made of the same material as the front seat. The inclination angle of the cushion and backrest is large, and the backrest supports angle adjustment. In addition, there is plenty of space, so that the rear passengers can get a comfortable "Ge You Lie" sitting posture, but the middle cushion is short, the platform bulges obviously, and the comfort of the middle seat is not high. In terms of configuration, it is equipped with three independent telescopic headrests, and aviation headrests are also equipped on both sides. The size of the central folding armrest is very large, and even the headrests are folded down as a whole, which integrates more storage space.
The air outlet of floor-type air conditioner is adopted, and the shape is changed compared with the old model (2020 model), and the original open storage compartment is cancelled. The sliding cover below has a built-in water cup slot and two Type-C interfaces, which maintains the same convenience and aesthetics as the front row. In addition, the E300L distinguished model in this modified model has added independent air conditioning in the rear row.
All models are equipped with segmented electric skylights, the first half of which can be opened and the area is considerable.
The side wall of the rear compartment has been tightly wrapped, showing good performance in depth and height. The volume has not been announced yet, but the visual volume is considerable, and the luggage for four people on a long trip should be able to accommodate it. There is also a storage compartment under the floor, but there is no spare tire. The car is also equipped with an electric tailgate and a button to close the door and lock the car. E300L fashion model adds the functions of electric trunk and induction trunk.
The change of power is the focus of this change. The core is to cancel the 1.5T+48V light hybrid power, and replace the E260L model with a 2.0T low-power engine +48V light hybrid system. The maximum power of the engine is 145kW(197Ps)/6100rpm, and the maximum torque is 320Nm/1650-4000rpm, matching the 9AT automatic manual transmission. E300L adopts a 2.0T high-power engine with the maximum power of 190kW(258Ps)/6100rpm and the maximum torque of 370Nm/1800-4000rpm, which is also matched with 9AT automatic manual transmission.
The chassis layout has not changed. The front and rear are multi-link independent suspensions, and the front and rear drives are still the main ones. Among them, E260L is equipped with two full-time four-wheel drive models, and the central differential is a multi-plate clutch, all of which support variable steering ratio and suspension soft and hard adjustment. Only the top-equipped premium model E300L comes standard with a driver assistance system close to L2, which has lane keeping function. However, the adaptive cruise is not at full speed, and the rest E300L is optional, but E260L doesn’t even support it.
Brother Kan’s comments:
On the whole, this generation is relatively, with elegant and atmospheric appearance and very attractive cockpit. However, it is indeed controversial because it is equipped with a 1.5T engine. It is not necessarily said that the power is not enough. After all, it is assisted by a 48V ISG motor, which mainly causes psychological pressure to users. Is it still a luxury medium and large car? This time, the purpose of the modified model is to let the small-displacement engine leave completely, and let the E-class return to its sense of grade. Of course, the entry price has also increased slightly, but it is not excessive. In addition, the E300L fashion model and the distinguished model have increased the configuration, and the price has also increased accordingly. Generally speaking, the new products hope to maintain the overall image and status of E-class, rather than relying on low prices and concessions to attract users.
