The Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W213 and S213) series represent the upcoming fifth-generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class range of executive cars, including sedan (W213) and station wagon (S213) configurations. Set to be sold from 2016 (as a 2017 model), it is the successor to the W212/S212 E-Class models. A high-performance E63 AMG version of the W213 and S213 will be available as well from 2017 (as a 2018 model). The Mercedes-Benz E-Class, since the mid 1990s, had been equipped with quad headlights and a differentiated design. With the 2017 model, Mercedes decided to take a more streamlined direction, first seen with the 2014 E-Class' redesign and than going in an entirely new direction with the all-new 2017 model.〔http://www.autospies.com/news/SPIED-BEST-Look-Yet-At-The-All-New-Mercedes-Benz-E-Class-Get-A-Peek-At-Its-All-New-Mug-86516/〕 It is set to be launched in spring 2016 following a world debut at the 2016 Detroit Motor Show in January, the 2017 E-Class models will become the most technologically advanced cars Mercedes has ever produced.〔 ==Overview== After Mercedes-Benz invested close to €1 billion into the development of the extensive refresh to the 2014 mid-life facelift of W212 E-Class,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2014 W212 and 2017 W213 Mercedes E-Class Sedans Spied Together () )〕 most likely the most expensive mid-life facelift in the history of the automobile,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mercedes-Benz E 350 W212 Facelift Gets Reviewed by Edmund's )〕 the next generation E-Class will be unveiled at the 2016 North American International Auto Show.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Next generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan will likely debut in January 2016 at NAIAS (video ) )〕 The next generation E-Class is expected to have a design similar to that of the larger W222 S-Class and the smaller W205 C-Class.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2016 Mercedes E-Class (W213) First Interior Spy Photos: S-CLass Inspiration )〕 While the W212 E-Class has tighter surface and harder edges, the new model is curvier and more flowing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2016 Mercedes E Class to world debut at NAIAS 2016 )〕 The fifth-generation model, codenamed W213, adopts Mercedes’ modular MRA platform, as used by the latest C-Class and S-Class models. The W213 E-Class will once again grow in size, to about 4950mm long and 1940mm wide. An estate, offering a similar 695-litre luggage capacity to its predecessor, is due to go on sale towards the end of 2016. The increased use of high-strength steel and aluminium is claimed to make both versions up to 100kg lighter than the W212.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class - engines and launch date )〕 Stylistically, the 2017 E-Class follows the latest C-Class, the GLA, and the S-Class coupé. Its front end will feature Mercedes’ familiar bullet-shaped headlights and an upright grille, while its rear end will get a pair of LED tail lamps that will extend into the quarter panels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class - News, Specs, Rumors - Digital Trends )〕 Those taillights also bare similarities to the 2014 E-Class models.〔gtspirit.com/2015/11/02/next-gen-mercedes-benz-e-class-spied-almost-undisguised/〕 As on other recent models, Mercedes plans two distinct front-end treatments: a traditional chrome grille and a more sporting blade grille. Sources suggest the aerodynamics have been refined so that the drag coefficient has improved from 0.25 to a class-leading 0.23.〔 On the inside, the interior gets a 150mm-tall, 700mm-wide monitor boasting HD graphics and, via a stereo camera mounted within the windscreen, support for augmented reality functions. Mercedes also plans an improved head-up display and new multi-function steering wheel controls.〔 The interior was previewed on the Concept IAA (Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile) that Mercedes showed in September 2015 at the Frankfurt auto show.〔http://www.autonews.com/article/20151103/OEM04/151109978/2017-mercedes-benz-e-class-borrows-styling-cues-from-s-class-flagship〕 Engine options for the W213 E-Class will see a major update, thanks to the switch to inline-6 engines from the current V6 engines,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mercedes E-class (2016) spied: straight sixes are back! )〕 along a new generation of four-cylinder diesel engines, codenamed OM654, and existing four-cylinder petrol engines.〔 The fifth-generation model will be first released in the saloon configuration, which will go on sale in the summer 2016, while an Estate will follow later in 2016. A two-door Coupe will arrive in 2017, before the Convertible completes the line-up towards the end of 2017.〔http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/mercedes/e-class/89072/mercedes-e-class-2016-exclusive-pics-and-latest-details〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W213)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
