In terms of power, the petrol E200 draws energy from a 2.0-litre motor having 4 cylinders. The engine is paired to a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic gearbox transmitting power to the rear wheels only. This combination churns out a power of 187PS along with 300Nm of torque and can enable the vehicle to sprint from 0-100Kmph in 8.5 seconds. The time taken is 0.6 seconds more than the current version, owing to the fact that the new iteration is heavier and larger.

The E 350 d diesel variant comes with a V6 3.0-litre engine mated to the same 9G-TRONIC 9-speed tranny and delivers a power and torque of 262PS and 620Nm, respectively. This version can cover 0-100Kmph in 6.6 seconds only with a top speed of 250Kmph.
