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 reflex,” which can help reduce hearing loss in the event of an accident
      • Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® is able to follow a vehicle at a pre-selected distance at a wide range of speeds
        • Active Steering Assist can actively intervene even if road lines are unclear or non- existent
        • Active Lane Change Assist: radar-and-camera-based system that aids the driver when changing lanes, for example, when overtaking. 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: 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
      • Segment-leading, next-gen, high-resolution 12.3” infotainment display with advanced, simplified user interface
      • AIR BODY CONTROL: Available multi-chamber air suspension at all corners
      • Ambient lighting in 64 colors thanks to energy-saving LED technology
      • Warmth and Comfort Package: (segment exclusive) offers heated door armrests, center console, steering wheel and rapidly-heating front seats

Model Positioning

      • The E-Class Sedan and Wagon are the most advanced vehicles the Mercedes-Benz product portfolio. 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 an AMG-enhanced 3.0L V6 biturbo engine, dynamic drive qualities and top- levels of technology.
      • The Mercedes-AMG E63 S Sedan is the most powerful E-Class variant of all time. The versatile AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine in the E63 S Sedan takes peak performance to a new level at 603 hp. A sprint from zero to 60 mph takes only 3.3 seconds, and this dynamic acceleration only ends at the governed top speed of 186 mph.
