Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB to debut in India on March 16
What's the story
Mercedes-Benz is all prepared to announce the 2021 E-Class Long Wheel Base (LWB) model in India on March 16. It was unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last year. The E-Class LWB is identical to the standard 2020 E-Class but offers more cabin space thanks to a longer wheelbase. In India, the sedan is expected to be offered with three engine choices.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB borrows its design features from the standard E-Class. It has a sloping roofline, a muscular bonnet, a chrome-accented grille with the company's logo in the center, new headlights, and sleek taillights. On the sides, the car is flanked by body-colored ORVMs, blacked-out B-pillars, and 5-spoke alloy wheels. Dimensions-wise, it has a 140mm longer wheelbase than the regular model.
