2019 W213 Mercedes-Benz E200 SportStyle, E300 Exclusive launched – new engines, kit; from RM330k

W213 Mercedes-Benz E 200 SportStyle Avantgarde

Alongside the W213 Mercedes-Benz E 350 AMG Line, the E 200 SportStyle Avantgarde and E 300 Exclusive Line also join the updated E-Class range. Price-wise, the E 200 goes for RM329,888, while the E 300 (takes over from the previous E 250 Exclusive Line) retails at RM379,888.

Like the E 350, the E 200 and E 300 both get the new M264 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine in place of the previous M274 unit. However, both variants make do without the EQ Boost mild hybrid system found on the E 350.

On the E 200, the mill (now with twin-scroll turbo) makes 194 hp (197 PS) at 5,500 rpm and 320 Nm of torque from 1,650-4,000 rpm (up from the M274’s 181 hp, or 184 PS, and 300 Nm), and is good for a zero to 100 km/h time of 7.5 seconds (240 km/h top speed). Meanwhile, the E 300 has 254 hp (258 PS) at 5,800 rpm and 370 Nm from 1,800-4,000 rpm at its disposal (up from 245 hp), although the centennial sprint time is the same as before at 6.2 seconds (250 km/h top speed).

Both the E 200 and E 300 come with a nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission and Agility Control suspension as standard, along with Dynamic Select to adjust the characteristics of the cars’ steering and powertrain in line with the selected drive mode.

W213 Mercedes-Benz E 200 SportStyle Avantgarde

In terms of individual equipment, the E 200 gets the Avantgarde package, with the exterior being enhanced by unique touches courtesy of the SportStyle package. These include dedicated badges on the front fender, chrome louvre below the front bumper and high-gloss black chrome trim in the rear bumper.

Other exterior items that are standard on this variant include 18-inch five-spoke light-alloy wheels, LED High Performance headlamps with Adaptive Highbeam Assist and a reverse camera.

Inside, the E 200 gets the Avantgarde interior with Artico leather upholstery, light carbon-grain aluminium trim and black open pored ash wood for the centre console.

Also included are a Thermatic climate control system, powered front seats with four-way lumbar support and memory function, an ambient lighting system, Audio 20 infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, widescreen cockpit (two 12.3-inch displays), multifunction sports steering wheel in Nappa leather and wireless charging.

W213 Mercedes-Benz E 300 Exclusive

Safety and driver assistance systems on the E 200 include Blind Spot Assist, Active Brake Assist, Active Parking Assist.

Moving up to the E 300, you’ll get the Exclusive package with 19-inch 10-spoke alloys, Multibeam LED headlamps with Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, Nappa leather upholstery with lining in Artico leather, brown high gloss wood trim and high gloss brown ash trim for the centre console.

Improvements over the E 200 also include a panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate, a 360-degree camera, Lane Tracking Package, Keyless-Go, Hands Free Access, COMAND Online with touchpad controller and a Burmester sound system.

    Hardly see any new E class on the road nowadays.. looks too similar to C so who would bother buying something that costs a lot more…doesnt make sense..so a good message to the manufacturer…dont make your cars to look different in terms of sizes only because one sausage different sizes wont sell anymore…even new 5 series is difficult to find because of its obvious similarity to 3…total failure for both brands…

    Hmm, in my honest opinion the pricing of the E300 exclusive line shouldn’t be far apart from the E200 avantgarde. 329k and 379k is a big 50k… spec wise isn’t that convincing for that 50 k jump. Assuming most E class owners are at their middle age I think the exclusive line will suit them better. The e200 has a good price point, engine power wise may be sufficient for most people out there, however the avantgarde styling and rims is not the nicest looking and yet lack some of the important features like nappa seats. What do you guys think?
