Thanks for posting. Do you know if the sedan will be available in E450 and E53 versions?

4dimension

Yes, there will be E350, E450, E53 4Matic+, E63s 4Matic+ sedan; no E43 anymore i think
The wagons will have E450, E53 4Matic+ and E63s 4Matic+

MBUSA really should give the U.S. a crack at the E53 Wagon too.

If Canada is getting it, the US is definitely getting it.

Germancar1

Not hardly. You do know that Canada regularly gets models that the U.S. never see right? Canada getting a particular model is NO indication of what the U.S. will get.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know that. I totally thought it was the other way around.

Germancar1

It would be nice though, but I don't they sell enough wagons here in the U.S. to justify selling the E53 wagon here, but anything is possible.

Any chance you have the option sheets to share? I just ordered a 2018 E400 wagon and it looks like I'll want to change that to a 2019 E53!

4dimension

Please pm me your email address and I will send it to you. BTW, which city are you in? Didn't you SA tell you that there will be a change for the 2019 model?

Do you know if the E450 will have the new inline 6 engine? I heard it might have a V6 engine with 362 hp; I'd be pretty disappointed if they don't include the new Inline 6 engine in the E class

4dimension

450 is still V6 twin turbo, just boost the hp to 362. My guess is MB will replace the V6 with the new inline 6 for future 450, just like cls 450. The 53 will have the new inline 6.

SirJulian

That's a bummer. Can you confirm if the 12.3 instrument cluster and heads up display is both stand alone options, now?

4dimension

For E450, 12.3 display is included in the Premium package; for 53, it's standard.
HUD is stand alone option for both.

Wig

That's a major disappointment. I was hoping the E450 would have the inline 6. Maybe MB want to keep the CLS a bit more exclusive.

Do you know the HP of the forthcoming E350 inline 4?

4dimension

SirJulian

I heard it's 292 hp for the E350 with an EQ boost to push it to 310. That's pretty nice.

SirJulian

When you say it's included in the premium package, do you mean all premium packages(1,2, and 3) or just 2 and 3 as they have it now?

KingScrubs

I think the packages are done differently in Canada because we only have one premium package which includes the 12.3 inch instrument cluster and a few others things like heated steering wheel, rearview camera, and keyless go etc. I know that the United States has P1, P2, P3 and most of the stuff available in those packages are in a seperate package in Canada (technology package, intelligent drive and exclusive etc) so it might be hard to compare the two.

SirJulian

Yeah; I spoke with my dealer and for the 2019 models both the 12.3 digital instrument cluster and heads up display are stand alone options.

Is the 2019 steering wheel the same as 2018 or does it look like the 2018 S Class steering wheel? ie different thumb controls. (aluminum appearance vs black appearance)

Do you know if the 2019 E400 gets the improved Intelligent Drive to match the 2018 S Class Intelligent Drive, which has superior hardware and software.

The improved 2018 S Class will automatically slow for roundabouts, exits toll booths. It is still Level 2 but a definite improvement over the 2017-2018 E Class P3 assist functions.

My 2018 E400 wagon just arrived after being ordered 8 months ago. I'll reorder 2019 E400 wagon if it's a E450 with improved Intelligent Drive.

One more question: do you know if the 2019 E450 has the 48v battery for smoother Stop-Start function, and maybe even engine shut-off when coasting?

Skyblazer

This site claims to know the 2019 E Class upgrades

E300 becomes E350 with more HP through Eco Boost

E400 becomes E450 with more HP through Eco Boost

HUD and dual screens become standalone options.

Yes, the steering wheel should be like the one in the new CLS and S class. For the E450 Wagon, according to the option sheet, it should be "3-Spoke Multifunction Steering Wheel in Nappa Leather with Touch Control Buttons" Unfortunately, I don't have the pictures.

Regarding the Intelligent Drive, I really have no idea. We might have to wait for more information.

The 2019 E450 Wagon will not have the 48v battery, just a boost hp for the twin turbo V6. But I do believe it will get the new inline 6 plus the battery for the future models, but just not for 2019.

And I'd definitely encourage you to order the 2019 model, as for myself, I also cancelled my order on 2018 E400 Wagon. I wanted a E43 Wagon in the first place, however, it's not available in Canada. But now we are going to get the 53, so obvious choice for me at least.

Those are huge improvements! Especially 2019 E350 is a different animal right now with all the performance enhancements. Wouldn't make any sense to buy 2018 model, when you can just wait a few more months to get much more advanced vehicle...

I am curious on how they price the new E350, this new E350 is positioned way higher than the old E300.
