The premiere of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class model in the back of the W213 took place at the Detroit Auto Show in 2016. The manufacturer names the car fourth generation the most intelligent in the segment.
As expected, the design of the new Mercedes E-Class 2018 (photo and price) turned out to be made in the style of the company's latest cars with smoother outlines that replaced the strict faceted lines of its predecessor.

On the one hand, the sedan has somewhat lost its originality, now reminiscent of both the junior C-Class W205 and the flagship S-Class W222. From the other - new model Mercedes E-class 2018-2019 is still the golden mean, and a similar look with the top four-door only adds points to it.
Salon
The salon of the new "yeshki" received a completely redesigned front panel, which is made in the style of the older one with four round air ducts on the center console and two LCD displays (on expensive versions) with a diagonal of 12.3 inches with a resolution of 1920 x 720 pixels each and installed under a large general glass.
The left displays instruments that have three design options: Classic, Sport and Progressive. The right side displays information about the COMAND Online multimedia complex. There is also a simpler version with analogue instruments and an 8.4-inch infotainment display.
Armchairs on the new Mercedes E-class 2017-2018 are offered in several versions: Base, Avantgarde, Exclusive and AMG. For an extra charge, a massage function with nine modes is available. Also available as an option is an advanced Burmester 3D audio system with a power of 1,450 watts with 23 speakers (four of which are located in the ceiling) and two amplifiers: digital and analog.
Plus, there is a diode interior lighting, which includes 64 colors with the ability to adjust the brightness of the glow. Of course, buyers will be offered a huge number of finishes using leather, wood and metal. Again, in simple versions of the W213, bodywork is noticeably simpler.
Plus, it is worth mentioning the appearance on the steering wheel of two touch panels, one of which controls the settings of the left screen, the second - the right one. Also for the sedan prepared a lot of different electronic systems.
Electronics
For example, using the Remote Parking Pilot smartphone app, you can park your car in a narrow pocket while being outside. And then just as remotely roll it back.
On the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2018, a Car-to-X system was introduced to communicate with other cars and infrastructure. But she will be able to “communicate” only with those participants in the movement who are equipped with a similar one, so for now there is little sense from her.
Much more important is the modified automatic braking system, which was taught to work not only when obstacles appear in front, but also on the side. For example, when driving through an intersection or leaving the yard.
Also new Mercedes-Benz body The E-Class W213 can be equipped with the Intelligent Drive semi-autonomous driving system, which consists of 23 sensors, six sensors front and rear, four multi-mode radars, four cameras, a long-range front radar, a stereo camera behind the windshield and a steering position sensor.
All this allows the car to independently adhere to the selected lane even with poor markings at speeds up to 130 km / h, as well as monitor the distance to the car in front at speeds up to two hundred and ten. True, you can’t take your hands off the steering wheel, otherwise the system will pass.
With the Speed Limit Pilot function, you can set up an automatic speed limiter that monitors road signs, and if necessary, active maneuvering will help the driver with the Evasive Steering Assist system.
If an accident cannot be avoided, then Pre-Safe Impulse Side will not only close all windows and tighten seat belts, but will also push the outermost passengers to the center of the cabin (if a side impact threatens), and before a collision through the Pre-Safe Sound speakers, it will give a broadband sound volume 25 dB, which will prepare the hearing of passengers for a deafening blow.
Against this background, the Multibeam matrix head optics with 84 LEDs no longer seems to be something special, although each diode is individually controlled electronically, as a result of which the headlights do not blind drivers of other cars, while providing excellent visibility in the dark.
Specifications
Like the previous version, new Mercedes The 2018 E-class is available in sedan, station wagon, coupe and convertible versions, and the four-door also has an extended wheelbase version (perhaps there will be a chic performance under the Maybach sub-brand).
As for the latter, it has grown (+ 65 mm) on the standard version of the sedan (up to 2,939 mm). Also, the car has become a little wider and longer by 43 millimeters (4,923 mm), which made the E-Klasse 213 more spacious.
But the mass of the new model was reduced (by about 100 kg, depending on the modification), including through the use of the MRA modular platform, as well as wings, hood, trunk lid and a number of other structural elements made of aluminum. Plus, the share of high-strength steels was increased.
All versions of the new E-Class have become more economical and environmentally friendly. And not only due to the engines themselves, but also thanks to improved aerodynamics - the drag coefficient was reduced from 0.25 for its predecessor to 0.23, and active blinds are now installed not only behind the radiator grille, but also in the front bumper (not on all machines).
Customers are offered three suspension options to choose from: standard comfortable with steel springs, lowered by 15 mm in the Avantgarde version, as well as lowered sports with pneumatic elements and stiffness adjustment. At the same time, all are complemented by adaptive shock absorbers.
Engines
Lined up power units Mercedes E class 2018-2019 included a lot of gasoline and diesel engines. But at first, only two engines were offered for the sedan - these are 2.0-liter fours with a capacity of 184 hp. (300 Nm) on the E 200 and 195 forces (400 Nm) on the diesel E 200d. Both are equipped with a 9G-Tronic 9-band automatic.
Later, modifications of the E 350d appeared with a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine with a capacity of 258 hp. (620 Nm), all-wheel drive E 400 4MATIC with a three-liter gasoline “six” with a return of 333 hp. and 480 Nm of torque. There is also a 245-horsepower engine and an initial 150-horsepower diesel.
And the new Mercedes E is available in the E 350e hybrid version with a total output of 279 forces and 600 Nm. It picks up a hundred from a place in 6.2 seconds, its average fuel consumption in the combined cycle is declared at the level of 2.1 liters per 100 km, and on electric traction it is able to cover a distance of up to 30 kilometers.
At the top of the range is located, under the hood of which, instead of the previous 5.5-liter V8 biturbo, there is a 4.0-liter "eight" with a capacity of 571 and 612 "horses". And it is also combined with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
What is the price
The European premiere of the Mercedes E-class in the new W213 body was held in March at the Geneva Motor Show on the 16th, and the first cars reached Russian dealers in April.
At first, we had two versions available - the petrol E 200 was estimated at 2,970,000 rubles, the diesel E 220d costs from 3,660,000 rubles. Later, versions appeared with an initial 150-horsepower E 200d diesel (3,030,000), a 245-horsepower E 300 (from 3,520,000), an all-wheel drive E 400 4MATIC (from 4,340,000) and a “warmed up” E 43 (from 5,200,000). ).
In the standard equipment of the model on Russian market included diode head optics, light and rain sensors, climate control, Artico artificial leather seat trim, Garmin navigation, 17-inch wheel disks And fuel tank increased volume.
Photos of the new Mercedes E-class 2018
The good must be replaced by the best, especially if it is one of the Mercedes-Benz models. And even the quite successful E-class W 211, which defended the honor of the brand in the upper-middle segment, became obsolete over time, and in 2009 the company released a new Eshka. No one was surprised that it had become larger and more comfortable - the design concept shocked, first of all. Moving away from biodesign in favor of chopped forms a la W 124 - not everyone was ready for this turn of events.
The predecessor of our today's hero, Mercedes in the 211th body, received the main criticism for a clearly reduced workmanship, an increased number of failures and a short resource for a number of components. Many fans of the brand associated this fact with the unsuccessful merger with Chrysler and the technological templates they introduced.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 250 CDI (W212) "2009–12
In particular, the SBC system, which was installed before the restyling of the model, the quality of engines, the quality of gearboxes after restyling and the quality of body painting were ostracized. Criticism, it would seem, was taken very seriously, but new Mercedes inherited from the ancestor both engines and gearboxes, although in slightly modernized versions.

However, the model had enough advantages. First of all, comfort has been improved through the use of a new active suspension, improved aerodynamics and a new mechatronic cabin. In addition, the passport and, most importantly, real consumption fuel due to the transition mainly to engines with direct fuel injection, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and also reduced aerodynamic drag. Special attention was paid to safety: among the options there was a night vision system, a radar for emergency braking and cruise control, a blind spot monitoring system, smart airbags, side support adjustments. Well, the body, of course, has become even stronger.
The restyling of 2013 was remembered by many precisely because the hand simply will not rise to call it a facelift. The appearance was redrawn very thoroughly: the car received a new head optics, and with the help of small touches, the appearance changed incredibly - from a rough and faceted projectile, the car turned into an example of an elegant style with a touch of hi-tech. The salon was also ennobled: it has more color and smooth lines, and besides, they abandoned the gloomy gray plastic and the massive steering wheel.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 250 (W212) "2013–present They also worked thoroughly with the equipment - the line of gasoline engines was replaced with a new one in 2011, removing pretty outdated and frankly bad motors M271 and M272 series. After restyling, the five-speed boxes of the 722.6 series were almost completely replaced by the seven-speed 722.9, and in 2014, the latest “nine-speed” was also installed on the E350 BlueTech. LEDs settled in the optics, but the night vision system was removed from the range of options. In this form, the model was produced until 2016, when it was replaced by a completely new car in the back of the W 213, which became much more interactive, economical and, perhaps, even more comfortable.

As for reliability, there was no obvious decrease in the number of failures, and the cost of operation even increased, despite the childish, in general, age. I propose to understand this situation in a little more detail.
Body and interior
The oldest cars at the moment are approaching the age of seven. It is still too early to talk about any punctures in the anti-corrosion protection, the cars are well painted, and traces of corrosion can only be found with a very careful examination. Minimal joint sealant breaches on the sill and trunk panels with barely visible traces of rust - no doubt bad sign. Such defects occur regularly, but so far they do not cause any special problems. And most often they are associated with "shock loads" - primarily operation in hot summers, salty winters, diagonal distortions and racing on dead roads.
Explicit corrosion at the seams or at the edges of arches and sills is very rare, unless, of course, the car has been in a serious accident with the replacement of panels with non-original ones or serious work on straightening damaged elements. By and large, if you notice corrosion, then you can stop looking at the car: these are the consequences of either an accident or very tough operation, all other problems do not yet manifest themselves at such a childhood age.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 350 4MATIC (W212) "2013–present Well, if you look far into the future, then look for a car with a perfectly intact seam sealant and apply an additional layer of anticorrosive on the bottom - the protection looks weak, despite the large amount of plastic, and the internal cavities need protection, the experience of past generations of the E-class says that it is better to do it right away.
It is also recommended to clean the "aquarium" - a niche under the windshield. The drains are small and quickly become polluted with the remains of leaves - the body usually does not face anything from this, but there will be many problems in the electrical part, and it will spill into the cabin. Rubber seals dry out after three to five years, and then the interior flooring will get wet.
Radiator brackets and various small things under the hood will tell a lot about operating conditions. On cars that spend the night in a damp underground garage or in a snowdrift on the street, there will be light corrosion on many nodes and fasteners of the "hood" - this is a feature of many fresh and expensive cars.
A large number of plastic parts on the bottom and their price can play a cruel joke. Even if the metal of the body is impeccable, it may take a round sum of money to bring the car to perfect condition. Aerodynamic panels are easily damaged engine compartment, wheel arch liners (there was a recall campaign on the front ones) and in general all the lower plastic, including the lining of the suspension arms. If the M271 series motor, the most common on these cars, is installed, and its oil cup is leaking, then the plastic of the engine compartment is most likely in very poor condition even on cars manufactured in 2012-2013.
Peeling chrome, door handles and wiper leashes are the trouble of cars from Moscow and St. Petersburg, road chemicals quickly kill all decorative coatings.
On a car with a panoramic sunroof, the guides are at risk, they get dirty and creak. If you do not pay attention to this, you can burn the drive motor or break the rollers and levers of the system. And the first rain will increase the number of problems at times. Drainage panoramic sunroof, by the way, it clogs much faster than a simple one. It’s worth blowing every year and you need to do it very carefully - the tubes are attached, to put it mildly, very weakly, they easily fly off when exposed to compressed air, after which you will have to remove the entire hatch mechanism and put the tubes on the clamps.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG (W212) "2013–present Optics before restyling, both front and rear, quickly lose their tightness and sweat. And the xenon headlight ignition units and control units are also gaining moisture. In general, with races through puddles and washing the engine compartment, you need to be very careful, it is better to use not water for this, but special cleaners. There are enough electronic blocks here.

After restyling, the optics have become better, in any case, the headlights are not prone to fogging, but the beautiful “ticks” of the LED lights can go out. Their repair has already been mastered, but most of the services will offer to replace the entire headlight. Cars with LED dipped beam have another problem: “eternal” LEDs actually last only a couple of years, they usually lose their luminosity in summer, in traffic jams. It is strongly recommended to use only DRL in such conditions, and not the neighbors.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 250 CDI AU-spec (W212) "2013–present The rear LED lights not only blind the “feet” of those standing behind in a traffic jam, but also suffer from a gradual failure of the LEDs - the reason is usually the oxidation of the board and the leakage of the lantern. Officially, it is not collapsible, but the dremel works wonders, often it is enough just to replace the power connector inside, and the price new headlight see for yourself…

The loss of washer caps and the breakdown of the nozzles themselves is another flaw, caps can be considered consumables, and if you install Chinese ones, then several pieces can “leave” a month. If the mirrors creak when folding, then carefully inspect the mounting brackets: an oxide crust on aluminum will hint that it is desirable to inspect the body again for corrosion.
The salon of cars is saturated with a variety of servos and electronics. There is wiring everywhere, control modules for everything in the world, and everything is very carefully and intricately assembled. Cars before restyling generally look gloomier, but the quality of interior materials in basic trim levels, oddly enough, is better than restyling, and expensive leather is not always more durable than cheap leatherette of inexpensive versions.

But when running for a “hundred”, both leatherette and leather give up - the driver's seat begins to become covered with a network of cracks. In general, the quality of the interior is very high: a few unsuccessful elements like automatic gear shifters, steering wheel buttons and seat controls only emphasize how carefully the rest of the details are made. Of the serious disadvantages, only thermal sensitivity can be noted - at low temperatures, the interior begins to rattle, especially on restyled models, and the suspension echoes it. Again, post-2013 cars are reported to have slightly worse soundproofing, but it's possible it's just the noisier newer generation engines that create the same effect.

The Command multimedia system fails relatively rarely. Most often, failures are associated with the rear camera module, it is connected directly to the “head” of the device and to the CD changer. A few more problems are caused by non-standard firmware with Russification and new navigation for cars from Europe, such software often works unstable.
Too many problems for a relatively fresh car? But pay attention, exploit "E-shki" for slaughter. They work both as corporate cars and "personal cars" for those who drive themselves and do not consider it an expensive limousine.
Electronics and electrical
In addition to the complexity of the problems at least. It doesn’t break down very often, but if it breaks down ... If you don’t light a cigarette, don’t discharge the batteries, monitor the generator’s serviceability, then all the complex electronic filling works stably. Of the serious troubles, one can only recall the piezo injectors and the OM651 engine control unit, this is a diesel 2.2. The injectors died, the block was changed along with them, but more a new version The control unit sometimes loses power to the injectors. In general, electronics from Delphi proved to be not the best way. After warranty period all this changes extremely reluctantly, check when buying.
Electronic blocks the engine compartment often suffer from leaks, especially the ignition and headlight control units. The keyless entry system is sensitive to strong interference, failures happen too often, and besides, it can simply drain the battery in just a day or two, giving false positives. Otherwise, you just need to remember that all servos, displays and touch panels have a limited resource, and besides, these things are quite fragile. And in the performance of Mercedes, they are also expensive. There are very few machines that, when diagnosed, show a complete absence of errors and malfunctions in the operation of actuators.
Brakes, suspension and steering
The brake system fully complies with the brand's standards: high quality of all components and excellent work. The small resource of discs and pads is a little alarming, but this is a consequence of the active work of stabilization systems, drying of brake discs, and the mass of the car is rather big, under two tons.

Suspensions on the W 212 are famous for their comfort and good mileage, up to a run of 70-100 thousand kilometers they can withstand almost everything, even with 18-inch wheels. The secret is that the front is no longer a two-lever, but an ordinary MacPherson, it is simpler and more reliable. rear suspension seriously reworked, and it better withstands a lot of new cars - the old versions of the multi-link structurally differed little from the suspension of cars in the back of the W 201 thirty years ago. Here are just electronically controlled shock absorbers here in the stock configuration, which significantly increases costs in case of wear or serious damage, and electronics have a finite resource.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 220 CDI (W212) "2009–12 The air suspension has become noticeably stronger, once again improved protection against road dirt, pipelines and electronics, including all sensors, have become more reliable. The “pneuma” resource is stable for more than 150 thousand kilometers, but rather, it needs to be measured in years, because the wear of the elements is largely related to the age of the cylinders.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 350 4MATIC (W212) "2009–12 The electric power steering does not cause problems, it was installed on cars with gasoline engines of the M274, M276 series and some diesel ones. But the pump of a conventional power steering on the M272 and M271 does not differ in resource, the high load on the unit affects when using wide rubber. The resource of the rack, steering rods and tips is quite large - the tips and rods need to be checked and changed closer to one hundred thousand kilometers, and the rail usually does not require replacement with a slight backlash even with runs over three hundred thousand kilometers. Servotronic system failures (Mercedes call this “parametric steering' are, surprisingly, extremely rare.
Transmission
Mechanical boxes and the transmission itself are extremely reliable, since they have been worked out for years. And even the all-wheel drive transmission is distinguished by its resource and reliability. Unless the elements of the front gearbox and front axle drive can fail with runs up to hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Transfer case at risk only on all-wheel drive vehicles with a top-end three-liter diesel engine and on AMG versions.
With automatic transmissions, everything is a little more complicated. Until 2011, most four-cylinder cars were equipped with an old and very reliable five-speed gearbox series 722.6, long debugged and improved. By the way, the latest firmware for this unit dates back to 2014, with them the wear of the gas turbine engine linings is slightly reduced due to the less active operation of the lock on the “cold” and the increase in the margin of “adaptability”. By modern standards, a very reliable unit, with a resource of mechanics and a valve body of about 250-300 thousand kilometers, without "children's problems." With the timely replacement of the gas turbine engine blocking lining with runs of 150-200 thousand kilometers and frequent oil changes, it does not cause much trouble until the wear of the main friction clutches, bushings and planetary gears. On versions of the E200, this automatic transmission can be found until 2013.
The 722.9 series automatic transmission, also known as 7G-tronic, which has been installed on six-cylinder versions of cars since 2009 and on other cars since 2011, cannot boast of such sophistication and trouble-free operation. The main difficulties were eliminated on the restyled W 211, but the W 212 also had a lot of problems. And the first variants of 7Gtronic +, optimized for start-stop modes, also added failures. Valve body failures, wiring and overheating have haunted the boxes to this day. And, perhaps, this automatic transmission is one of the most serious shortcomings of post-styling cars.
However, she certainly has advantages: the fuel consumption of cars with a seven-speed automatic transmission is surprisingly small - in combination with gasoline “fours”, the average can be less than eight liters, and with diesel OM651 even less than six liters. It is highly recommended to change the oil every 30-40 thousand kilometers and install an external automatic transmission radiator, as well as remove the box thermostat.
From 2014 to diesel models BlueTech began to install a nine-speed automatic transmission 9G -tronic. Again, many “childish problems” have been revealed, but at the moment they are being eliminated under warranty, and there are almost no problems with overheating on diesel engines. With such an automatic transmission, fuel consumption is still slightly reduced. In the "route" modes, the consumption of diesel engines drops below three liters per hundred, and this is for a two-ton car.
Engines
Dorestyling motors are basically a "hit" recent years represented by the 1.8-liter M271 Evo engine with a compressor, as well as the M272 series engines. By the time the W 212 was launched, most of the engine problems had been eliminated, although the M271 still has a low timing chain and stars, and the M272 still periodically wears out the intake manifold and lifts the cylinders.
All the engines of this generation also suffer from oil leaks too often: an unsuccessful “glass” of the filter flows on the M271, and a heat exchanger on the M272. Take a look at the list of problems with these motors: in fact, the difficulties are the same, but the age of the cars is less. But taking into account the well-functioning design serious problems occur only if all warnings are persistently ignored.
Under the hood of Mercedes-Benz E 200 NGT (W212) "2011–12 The main trouble of the M272 - the small resource of the timing chain - retreated. Motors of later years of production have an average resource of this node of about 200 thousand kilometers, and besides, the chain rarely jumps immediately. On the M271, the chain must be monitored in both directions, it often stretches and jumps at runs of less than 100 thousand kilometers, but again, it warns of wear with a specific noise in advance. Since runs over 200 thousand kilometers are still not so common, there are few complaints about these engines, and they are mainly associated with the M271. Motors of the M273 series are much less common, but in fact they do not differ from the M272 in operation, except that scuffing of the cylinders on them can be found much more often.
There are a lot of diesel engines of the OM651 series in various versions for boosting and feeding. Until 2011, units were supplied with piezo injectors, which were prone to leaks and failures. This often led to water hammer and burnout of the pistons. Problems were avoided only by the younger version of the motor, which was equipped with conventional nozzles. As part of the recall campaign, the nozzles on all engines after 2011 were changed to electromagnetic ones, and the injection control unit was also changed.
timing chain cost
Price for original:
10 499 rubles
The design of the motor is quite complicated, it has many points that require attention, but the workmanship is very good, and in most cases failures occur due to the fault of the fuel equipment, intake manifold flaps, thermostat, EGR valve, particulate filter and sensors.
By a run of 200-250 thousand kilometers, the turbine usually dies. At about the same mileage, the timing mechanism needs to be replaced. Another unpleasant feature of the motor is the tendency to "stick" injectors. Specialized Services usually know how to cope with this scourge, but still the owners recommend preventive removal and cleaning at least once a year. Little things like overrunning clutch and APC valve failures are almost never found on cars with low mileage.
Diesel V 6 series OM642 are considered one of the most reliable Mercedes-Benz in recent years. Very resourceful, with very reliable fuel equipment - it is deservedly appreciated by those who want power and stability. The problems are mostly clean , and nothing more.
After 2011, new engines began to appear on cars. There are significantly fewer reviews on them, but a number of patterns can be distinguished.
The engines of the M276 series that replaced the M272 have no problems with the piston group and manifolds, but on the other hand, there was already a revocable campaign for the timing - they changed the dampers and hydraulic chain tensioners, and the chains jumped at low mileage. They recalled motors 276.8 with a serial number up to 276.8xx 30 001280 and 276.9 with a serial number up to 276.9xx 30 406602. In addition, the oil pump pressure is too low, and there are often cases of damage to the liners and crankshaft. Piezo injectors do not perform well on these motors either, but so far they are being changed as part of warranty repairs.
The in-line fours of the M274 series received an aluminum block, a delicate piston group and a turbocharger. Only the 2.0-liter version was installed on the E-class in two degrees of boost. The motor has shown itself well so far, but there are cases of seizures in the piston group, the motor does not tolerate the slightest overheating very well, and besides, it is sometimes prone to “oil burner” at a very young age.
What to choose?
The cost of operating premium business-class cars has risen markedly over the past decade, and it takes some getting used to. You wanted the fuel consumption of Solaris and the dynamics of the 911, right? Get it, but you still have to pay - not for fuel, but for repairs and maintenance. Now these cars for the most part please their owners. They are solidly made, but they have enough knots with limited time service and frank "pitfalls" like chains on the M271 and automatic transmission 7G -tronic. All of them can cause a lot of trouble even to the most zealous car owners, subject to the “factory” maintenance intervals.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG (W212) "2009–11 With a diesel engine, the E-class can even claim the title of a very economical car to operate, especially if you have long runs and smooth roads. Comfort and safety are undoubtedly among the best features of the model, here it is head and shoulders above any new car, which can be purchased for comparable amounts, and believe me, no "strong" "Japanese" can compare with it.
But there will definitely be expenses - small at first, large later, and it is difficult to predict how much of them will fall on your wallet.
