Transform Your Mercedes E-Class: Brabus' Ultimate Makeover Revealed
Are you looking to elevate your latest-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class to new heights? Brabus has introduced an all-encompassing upgrade package that promises to take your luxury sedan from impressive to unparalleled.
Exterior Upgrades: Subtle Yet Striking
Beginning with the exterior, Brabus has applied a series of refined modifications that include high-grade polyurethane components. The new custom spoiler aims to minimize front axle lift when driving at high speeds, enhancing both performance and safety. The outer trim inserts feature integrated DRLs, boosting both aesthetics and functionality, while the round tailpipes in a black-chrome finish—each 90 mm in diameter—add a touch of sportiness.
Perhaps most eye-catching are the fresh set of aftermarket wheels, showcased on the Estate model. Brabus has equipped the E-Class with Monoblock Z Platinum Edition wheels, each measuring 21 inches. These ten-spoke wheels come wrapped in Continental SportContact 7 tires, sized at 255/35 in the front and 285/30 in the rear. With the addition of the SportXtra suspension module, Brabus can lower the car’s ground clearance by up to 15 mm, giving it a more aggressive stance.
A Luxurious and Sporty Interior
The sophisticated elegance continues inside, where Brabus offers two distinct door sill trim options. One variant features white backlit Brabus lettering, while the other has a 64-color illumination that synchronizes with the car’s existing ambient lighting. Enhancing the sporty vibe are aluminum pedals, velour floor mats, and a tailored trunk mat.
Performance Boost: PowerXtra D22
Brabus doesn’t stop at aesthetics; they’ve also focused on boosting the car’s performance. Particularly targeting the E 220 d variant, which comes with a 2.0L turbodiesel engine equipped with mild-hybrid assistance, Brabus has equipped it with the PowerXtra D22 module. Originally producing 197 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, this engine now ramps up to 227 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque, thanks to Brabus’ fine-tuning. The result is a top speed of 151 mph and an impressive 0-62 mph time of just 7.4 seconds.
Market Pricing and Availability
The starting price for the diesel-powered E 220 d in Germany is €64,319.50 ($69,769), while the 4Matic all-wheel-drive version starts at €67,056.50 ($72,738). The higher-end E 450 d 4Matic, with its 3.0L diesel engine producing 367 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, starts at €85,465.80 ($92,707). In the U.S. market, the E-Class is available in E 350 4Matic and E 450 4Matic versions, starting at $62,300 and $68,100 respectively. While Brabus has yet to disclose the cost of these comprehensive upgrades, interested parties are encouraged to reach out for a custom quote.
So, there you have it—Brabus’ makeover package isn’t just a superficial update; it’s a complete transformation. Enhancing everything from the car's visual appeal to its performance specs, Brabus has turned the new Mercedes E-Class into a masterpiece of luxury and engineering.
