1 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is considered a 'Small Ben'. What 'Big Ben' refers to in China: In China, the colloquial term 'Big Ben' specifically refers to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which is the flagship sedan of Mercedes-Benz. Generally, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is considered a 'Small Ben', the E-Class is considered a 'Medium Ben', and the S-Class is considered a 'Big Ben'. The meaning of 'Big Ben': The 'big' in 'Big Ben' does not merely refer to the physical size of the car but also indicates its overall superior capabilities. Even the long-wheelbase version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, while it may be considered 'big' in terms of dimensions, cannot truly be called a 'Big Ben' when considering its positioning, features, and overall presence. There is still a significant gap compared to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
