The E-Class Saloon

From the initial visual impression to the tingling in the fingertips, and from the first to last moment of an encounter, it’s hard not to be impressed by the new E-Class AVANTGARDE. Its appeal is further enhanced by the optional AMG Sports package, with the focus firmly on dynamic design and an even keener awareness of style. Once you’ve experienced its power and agility on the road, you’ll know why those initial emotions were so intense.

On the road in this case Where does the pursuit of happiness end?

Harmony is a recurring theme throughout the new E-Class. Be it the axle load distribution or the design. And the range of available engines covering all a driver could wish for – sporty refinement for pleasure or long-distance comfort for business. But it’s best to experience it for yourself – in motion, of course.

First thing Monday until last thing Sunday – sportiness meets refinement

Block your diary:

You know it’s something truly special the moment you take your seat. An attractive aluminium trim and a new centre console with an analogue clock bring refinement to the cockpit. We’ll leave the other equipment and appointments for your E-Class to your good taste and judgement. One thing’s for sure: there’s no shortage of choice.

The ideal place to forget about time Memo:

You could be attending a night at the opera or playing in a golf tournament. You might want to make a good impression. You may need a car for business trips. The new E-Class feels at home anywhere. It’s easy to see where the ELEGANCE design and equipment line gets its name: it looks just as good waiting outside a grand hall as it does parked by a lush green.

Turns the road into a parquet floor For the record:

Take your eyes along for the ride in the new E-Class. They’ll thank you for it. Design is all about good taste, clarity and comfort. The new E-Class reflects this to impressive effect with its pronounced aesthetics and palpable ergonomics. A newly interpreted exterior makes the car appear even more powerful and dynamic – thanks in no small measure to the centrally positioned star and the 2-louvre radiator grille that are part of the optional AVANTGARDE design and equipment line. Even the side sections have highly sharpened proportions. Eye-turning interior highlights include a 3-tube instrument cluster, a centre console with analogue clock and the high-quality feel of the materials. There’s plenty of scope for you to display your own ideas and good taste, of course, with a wide range of interior colours providing further individualisation options.

Protection is now a question of sophisticated technology. The new E-Class is the answer. The integral safety concept from Mercedes-Benz combines active and passive systems, and can give the passengers optimum protection. The already high standards have been further improved upon in the new E-Class Saloon, one example being the optional Brake Assist system BAS PLUS, which features Intersection Assist and pedestrian detection. It identifies danger to the side of as well as in front of the car. The optional Active Lane Keeping Assist can detect potentially hazardous oncoming traffic in addition to lane markings. Adaptive Highbeam Assist, also available as an option, likewise helps to enhance safety – without dazzling other road users. The standard-fit COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST system offers assistance on a different level, as it is designed to prevent rear-end collisions caused by getting too close to the vehicle in front.

Design Safety

E-Class. In top form

We all need to do our bit for the environment. Sustainable actions should be a matter of course. Both the diesel engines and the petrol units in the latest generation incorporate a raft of sophisticated, holistic vehicle optimisation measures that reduce fuel consumption and emissions without compromising on contemporary qualities in terms of high torque and performance characteristics. Like its predecessor, the new E-Class features a wealth of new developments, systematic measures and detail improvements. All with the same aim: the advancement of sustainable automotive solutions.

ECO start/stop function (standard) – ECO display for monitoring driving-style efficiency (standard) – Intelligent alternator management with kinetic-energy recuperation (standard) – Electromechanical Direct-Steer system with the potential to save fuel based on –system-controlled energy demand (standard) Euro 6-compliant BlueTEC technology for several diesel engines – E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID combines a 4-cylinder diesel engine with an electric motor: –one of the most efficient models in the luxury segment Newly developed 4-cylinder petrol engine in Euro 6 emission class (E 200 and E 250) –

Experience a new class of comfort: the new E-Class. The optional Parking package with Active Park Assist makes parallel and perpendicular parking practically automatic. Cameras that monitor the area around the car show potential obstacles as seen from above on the central display. If the optionally available digital reversing camera is fitted, the display shows moving pictures that use dynamic guidance lines to assist with manoeuvring. As well as offering the convenience of easy parking, the Saloon is very much geared towards comfort on short or long trips – as can be seen from the impressive list of standard equipment. Comfort can be enhanced even further by selecting the optional active multicontour seats with massage and dynamic handling function.

BAS PLUS with Intersection Assist and pedestrian protection (in optional Driving Assistance package Plus)

BAS PLUS with Intersection Assist now assists the driver with braking when it identifies a hazard to the side of the car or crossing pedestrians as well as when detecting danger in front of the car

If a rear-end collision is imminent, the anticipatory Brake Assist system BAS PLUS assists the driver by applying the necessary braking force during emergency braking. The braking pressure applied by the system is such that a collision can be prevented or, at the very least, the collision speed can be reduced considerably. The system calculates the required reaction based on the data received from the long and short-range radar in the radiator

grille, and the stereo camera behind the windscreen. The new E-Class is the first model to feature an extended BAS PLUS function that takes account of crossing objects and pedestrians – particularly relevant in city traffic and at junctions. The system is able to detect crossing objects and stationary or slowly moving pedestrians in front of the car, and assist the driver during emergency braking at speeds of up to 72 km/h.

The honed exterior design gives the new E-Class a far more dynamic appearance High-quality materials in the interior

Standard equipment

The new E-Class grabs the attention instantly with its expressive front end featuring a new radiator grille, a side view with a newly interpreted feature line and standard-fit LED headlamps. There are similarly subtle changes inside the car, including a nappa leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel, a new 3-tube instrument cluster, a centre console with centrally positioned analogue clock and a central display with a contemporary

flat-screen look. Further eye-catching features include the high-quality materials, the aluminium trim, the ambient lighting and the new seat piping design. Another highlight is the array of sophisticated technology at work behind the scenes such as the Direct-Steer system, ATTENTION ASSIST, COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST, the PRE-SAFE® system, the NECK-PRO front head restraints and a total of nine airbags.

Sporty sophistication and a choice of five colour schemes An exclusively elegant interior – with five colour schemes to choose from

The difference is in the detail: the ELEGANCE design and equipment line A stylish combination of dynamism and aesthetics: the AVANTGARDE design and equipment line

Design and equipment lines

ELEGANCE line. The optional ELEGANCE design and equipment line emphasises the distinctive nature of the E-Class Saloon. Exterior features include chrome highlights, the Mercedes star on the bonnet and multi-spoke light-alloy wheels. A fine chrome trim makes the side view equally enticing. And the interior has a harmonious feel courtesy of the exclusive fabric upholstery, refined trim in high-quality burr walnut wood and ambient lighting with a dimmer function offering a choice of three different lighting moods.

AVANTGARDE line. The optional AVANTGARDE design and equipment line lends the E-Class Saloon a sporty, dynamic character. The exterior has a more distinctive and aggressive feel – thanks to the new 2-louvre radiator grille with central star, the rectangular tailpipe trims integrated in the rear bumper and the 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels. This look is complemented by the sporty interior with a new 3-spoke multi function steering wheel and aluminium trim.

The E-Class with Exterior Sports package exudes agility and driving enjoyment even when stationary
