Car Magazine says that three different plug-in hybrid variants of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class will be offered. The first will utilise a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine joined with an 82 hp electric motor. A 3.0-litre V6 combined with a 109 hp electric motor will also be offered while the third hybrid is expected to use a yet-unconfirmed diesel engine and electric motor pairing.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class will mark the German firm\u2019s return to inline-six cylinder engines in favour of V6s (excluding the aforementioned V6 hybrid model). The inline-sixers will be offered in petrol and diesel forms with the first pinned to be a 2.9-litre diesel engine delivering 313 hp when combined with two turbochargers. An additional version of this engine will be offered with four turbochargers two of which will be electrically-driven units to improve efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Underpinning the new E-Class will be the same shared MRA platform as the new C-Class. This new platform is not only lighter than the one currently used by the E-Class, but it is also more rigid thanks to its utilisation of aluminium in its construction.<\/p>\n<p>[Via <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mercedes-benz-passion.com\/2015\/05\/naias-2016-weltpremiere-der-e-klasse-limousine-auf-der-detroit-auto-show-im-januar-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mercedes-Benz Passion<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to new reports, the next-generation 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class will celebrate its world debut at the Detroit Motor Show 2016 in January.
