The 2018 will bring E350 ( 4Cyl with some more HP) and E400 which is available now on the E400 Wag.

 

Where did you see documentation on a higher power 4cyl?

 

Not seen it yet. Rumors that is going to be close to 300HP gas + electric motor.

 

If this is true, MB screws me over in the engine department yet again.

 

I will say this before Germancar1 does.....Misinformation!

 

And it is official in the news today:

E400 4MATIC Sedan will feature all the standard equipment of our E300 Sedan, plus standard allwheel
drive and a 3.0 liter biturbo V6 engine producing 329hp and 354 lb-ft of torque – the same
powertrain as our E400 4MATIC Wagon. Coupled with the 9-speed 9G-TRONIC Transmission and
DYNAMIC SELECT.
The E400 4MATIC Sedan will be available as a 4MATIC only, and as with the E300 Sedan, you can
choose between the Luxury Line (167), Sport Styling (321), or AMG Line Exterior (322).

 

What is the source of this news? There is no press release about this on the Mercedes-Benz US website.

 

I cannot show more:

RE: 2018 E4004M Sedan DATE: June 23, 2017

Order banks for the E400 4MATIC Sedan will open Friday, June 23. Please consult the E-Class Sedan
Dealer Ordering Guide for further details.
The E400 4MATIC Sedan will arrive in Q4 as a MY18. MSRP will be available in Q3.

 

Strange MB is offering the E400 so late in the US. It's been available in Canada since Sept.,2016 but cars were held up due to certification. Many E400's were held in Halifax NS until late Feb.17.
There are going to be many PO'd customers that settled for the the E300 when told the E400 would not be available in the US and now it's here. To flip a one year old car is cost prohibitive.

 

Interesting. . . then there may be a path for me when the warranty runs out on my W212 E400. I couldn't go with an I4, and doubt that the E43 would be a good match for me. Will keep watching.


On second thought, the M276DELA30 engine in a W213 could be VERY interesting.

 

You might be confusing that with the hybrid 4cyl already on sale in Europe.

 

Well I think that is the only option. Right now MB is offering of the US market : B,C,GLE,S in hybrid. An E 350 Hybrid is just logic.

 

This is terrific news regarding the availability of the E400 sedan. Shows MBUSA is actually paying attention to customer/market wants.

This is the one for the W213

thanks. As grateful (and mad) as I am they have finally decided to include the V6, I think it being 4 matic also would have made my car a bit over my budget. Things happen for a reason.

This is probably in response to the 5 series. MB took a bet that BMW would follow suit with only 4cyl engines in the US but they didn't.

 

Sorry . Now is the E

 

the source only confirms the existence of the E400. Is there a confirmation of the E350 with the new M264 in line 4 engine?

 

I don't have it writing as I did't have for the E400 and after a day it was confirmed if you see my time post. My source is an MBUSA employee.

Plus is just makes sense for an E350e for few reasons.

1. EPA
2. It is already sold in Europe.
3. There is a C hybrid, GLE hybrid and S hybrid. E hybrid is just a logical addition.

 

an E350e was defiantly planned for the US but with the lackluster sales of the other plug in hybrids, I think MB may be rethinking their plan. However, I think Michael was referring to whether there is confirmation on the E300 with more hp

 

yeah I was referring to the e300 with more power which will eventually be called e350 according to the leaked slideshow.

e350e is a hybrid with the old m274 engine

 

Mercedes hybrids never sold to well and if you look at the price you will see that they don't even want to push it to hard. The reason they have to have Hybrid in the market is because they have to meet EPA gas/mileage. Smart
car brand also exist because of the EPA.

e350 will have 211 HP (gas engine) + HP 88 (electric engine)

 

Anyone have the coupe order guide? Thanks!

 

The configurator for the E400 coupe is up on mbusa.com. It should have, more or less, the same information that's available in the DOG, and even better, it has actual prices for everything instead of "$tbd".
