The new E-Class long-wheelbase is all set for its official India launch on February 28. This stretched version of the E is based on the standard W213 gen E-Class which was unveiled in early 2016 and actually exceeds the E-class sedan in terms of both length (5m) and the wheelbase (3079mm), a massive 140mm (5.5 inches) more than the standard car. This extension has increased space for the rear passenger compartment. It also boasts of a more streamlined exterior along with the added sheet metal in the wheelbase that emphasises its S-Class-like stance. t will come with an S-class-like dashboard with dual 12.3-inch screens for infotainment and instrumentation, the latest version of Merc’s COMAND Online infotainment system, both petrol and diesel engine options. Although at present it is only being sold in China due to the huge demand in the Chinese market for long wheelbase luxury cars, but the Indian market looks all set for a rendezvous with this baby soon enough.
