E-Class Technical Highlights:

• PRE-SAFE® Sound: omits a short interference signal if an imminent collision is detected, triggering a protective reflex in the human ear referred to as the "stapedius effect," which can help reduce hearing loss in the event of an accident
• DRIVE PILOT, including:
  • Distance Pilot DISTRONIC is now able to follow a vehicle in front at a pre-selected distance at speeds up to 130  mph
  • Steering Pilot functions at speeds up to 130 mph in ideal conditions and can now actively intervene even if road lines are unclear or non-existent at speeds up to 81 mph
  • Active Lane-change Assist: radar-and-camera-based system that aids the driver when changing lanes—when overtaking, for example. When a turn is indicated for at least two seconds, Active Lane-change Assist will aid with steering into the adjacent lane if it detects the lane is empty
  • Active Brake Assist w/ cross-traffic function
• Evasive Steering Assist: when a driver deliberately or instinctively performs an evasive maneuver, this system assists by adding calculated steering torque to aid in steering wheel movement
• Car-to-X communication: Available later this year, the world's first fully-integral Car-to-X solution going into series production; the E-Class simultaneously acts as a receiver and transmitter, conveying warning messages and evaluating driving conditions, effectively allowing the driver to "see around corners" and "through  obstacles"
• PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side: if a lateral collision is detected, the system preventatively moves the driver or front passenger up to 2.75-inches away from the impact zone to the side by rapidly inflating the seat's side bolster, reducing the load on the occupant during an accident
• Touch Control Buttons: touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel for instrument cluster and infotainment system control, similar to a smart-phone interface, which respond to vertical and horizontal swiping movements

The 10th generation (sedan version) of one of the world's most successful vehicles launches  with several world-premiere technologies, an all-new emotional design both inside and out, and top  levels of comfort, luxury and safety.
• The Mercedes-AMG E43 Sedan, the first high-performance variant of the E-Class developed by Mercedes- AMG, boasts a 3.0-liter V6 Biturbo engine, dynamic drive qualities and top-levels of technology. When it arrives at dealerships by early 2017, it will represent the most powerful variant of the E-Class lineup.
• The E-Class Wagon debuted in the 1970's and has one of the most affluent customer profiles of any vehicle in the Mercedes-Benz portfolio. Top U.S. E-Class Wagon markets (including the current AMG E63 model) are California, New York/New Jersey, Florida, and Massachusetts.
