E220d chosen as launch model with class-leading levels of fuel economy and CO2 emissions.
Mercedes-Benz Thailand has announced prices for the all-new E-class ahead of its public debut at this month’s 2016 Bangkok International Motor Show.
The initial model chosen for the Thai luxury car market is the E220d coming with a newly developed 2.0-litre diesel-turbo engine to replace the outgoing 2.1-litre unit.
Priced at 3.999 million baht in Exclusive trim and 4.79 million baht in AMG Dynamic spec, the E220d has outputs of 194hp and 400Nm. Drive is channeled to the rear wheels via a new nine-speed automatic transmission.
Mercedes-Benz claims a class-leading average fuel consumption of 25.6kpl and 102g/km CO2 emission level.
The BMW 520d, in contrast, has a 190hp/400Nm 2.0-litre diesel-turbo and eight-speed automatic capable of 19.2kpl and 137g/km. It has a starting price of 3.499 million baht.
Prices of the E-class are set to become lower in the future via local assembly. The launch models are imported in fully built-up forms.
