Transmission options include a 6-speed manual (diesel lineup only) or the new 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic gearbox. The E Class will feature a 48 volt generator, so as to improve the fuel efficiency and lower emissions. A 4MATIC AWD option will be available after the initial launch phase early next year.
