E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet
The new E 450 4MATIC uses an inline six-cylinder petrol engine – as seen in the CLS 450 4MATIC – with Mercedes-Benz’s innovative EQ Boost technology. It has an output of 367 hp and 500 Nm, with an additional 22 hp and 250 Nm available thanks to EQ Boost. The EQ Boost system uses a 48 volt inline starter-generator, which enhances performance and refinement while also reducing fuel consumption.
The E 450 4MATIC can deliver up to 32.1 mpg on the combined cycle (31.7 mpg for the Cabriolet) and emits 202 g/km of CO2. The E 450 4MATIC Coupé can travel from 0 to 62 mph in 5.6 seconds, while the Cabriolet takes 5.8 seconds. Both models have an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
Replacing the E 350 d, the E 400 d 4MATIC features a 3.0-litre inline diesel engine – codenamed OM656 – which generates 340 hp and 700 Nm. The Coupé can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 5.1 seconds, while the Cabriolet takes 5.2 seconds. Both have a top speed of 155 mph.

It has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph and can travel from 0 to 62 mph in 6.0 seconds.
