How serious is the impact of today's new energy on the traditional fuel vehicle market? Let's put it this way, the first fuel vehicle on the market, may not be as concerned as a new energy vehicle OTA upgrade. Doesn't that sound outrageous? But that's just the way it is. However, there are no absolutes in everything, and the attention of the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase E-class that has just been launched once made me a little different. Why is that?
As we all know, the wrestling between the German Three Musketeers is even the epitome of the benchmark battle for domestic luxury brands, especially in the backbone of the C-class car market, which brings together all the most advanced technology and top design of BBA. Although the all-new 5 Series has not yet been launched, this generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class seems to have booked the championship in advance.
In fact, the successive generations of Mercedes-Benz E-class are constantly evolving based on the previous work, which is more like fighting monsters and upgrading. However, this generation of V214 has completely subverted everyone's inherent impression of the Mercedes-Benz E-class. And the most important of these, in addition to the return of classic elements such as peanut lamps, is more of an iteration of scientific and technological intelligence. This is not just a small upgrade that the car machine is smarter and responds faster, but the whole thing has been replaced, which means a bit of a shotgun change.
When the S-class and the C-class share the same interior design language, the new Mercedes-Benz E-class has already worn a pair of pants with the EQS, in fact, the design sense of this large screen is not as delicate as the S-class, but it can't be easy to use. The overall tactile feedback and smoothness are very comfortable, which is really much easier to use than Audi's set of MMI, and you don't even need to adapt to it to get started quickly.
How much effort has been put into intelligence in this car? Look at the hardware and you'll understand. First of all, it is equipped with the Qualcomm 8295 intelligent cockpit chip, which is the first luxury brand model to be equipped with the 8295 chip. Secondly, it is also the first Mercedes-Benz equipped with the third-generation MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, so why Mercedes-Benz attaches great importance to this car can be seen from this point.
From the overall performance point of view, the performance of this driving assistance system is really remarkable, not only the lane change is very soft, the logic of the whole tuning is also stable and a little aggressive, and it is very willing to overtake slow cars at high speeds. You even have a little delusion at this moment, shouldn't this be a performance of independent brands or new car manufacturers? Would you be even more surprised if I said that it can also achieve Level 4 autonomous parking?
The reason why the new E-class has such a big upgrade and popularity is essentially due to Mercedes-Benz's attention to the Chinese market. You don't believe it? In addition to the driving assistance has been specially optimized for Chinese road conditions, the new E-class also brings 11 China-exclusive rear luxury comfort additions, according to the Chinese people's riding Xi habits, the rear seat cushion is lengthened, and the electric adjustable rear seat leg rest is added, and on the atmosphere light that Mercedes-Benz has always been good at, the new Mercedes-Benz E has come a whole circle in the car, and the main thing is a sense of atmosphere. Even, it also intimately increased the headrest heating, do you stand it?
In fact, from this point, we can also see that the global models that were originally based on the European or North American markets as the development background are no longer able to play in China under the impact of China's own brands and new car-making forces. Therefore, there is an urgent need to build a blueprint for the development of the domestic market. I think this is also a microcosm of the rapid progress of the country.
Write at the end
Finally, let's talk about **, the price range of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase is 449-52.$980,000. You must know that after a year of war, a luxury brand as strong as Mercedes-Benz is also declining, and the Audi A6 of the same level is even competing with the price of Mercedes-Benz C-class in the same pool.
Therefore, the new E-class is really not cheap in today's market pattern. However, combined with the sudden increase in product power of this car, it will inevitably crush the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 in this generation in the future, so this pricing seems to be very reasonable? So, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, do you think this ** is reasonable?
