2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class design and engine specs
Much like its predecessors, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class design sits between the S- and C-Class models. According to recent whisperings, the newest E-Class will adopt the MRA (Modular Rear Architecture) platform from other Mercedes models, making it a lighter, more efficient model. Under the hood, it is speculated that Mercedes-Benz will offer a straight-six engine (with smaller engines also offered in the lineup). It is also expected that the new E-Class will see a high-performance model from Mercedes-AMG, offering a nearly 600-horsepower V-8 engine. If you’re curious when the model should be revealed, or about a prospective release date, read on!

It is expected that the new E-Class will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show, set to take place in January of 2016. When it comes to a release date, the brand hasn’t confirmed (in true Mercedes-Benz fashion), but if the reveal date holds true, rumor has it that we’ll see the 2017 E-Class hit the market later next year.
