Combining attitude, class and substance the E-Class has everything the driver needs to turn heads. This is the all new E-Class sedan.

The E 350 model has a turbocharged 2.0 liter 4 cylinder powertrain with 255hp and the E 450 has a 375hp with a turbocharged 3.0 liter six cylinder. Even more appealing is that the 4Matic All Wheel Drive is standard.

The E-Class offers the Premium and Pinnacle trim levels.

Engine Transmission and Performance
Besides the turbocharged 2.0 4 cylinder engine, the E 350 also pairs with a 23hp electric motor and the E 450 has a similar set-up. An adjustable air suspension is optional. It replaces the standard steel spring suspension. Need to maneuver in tight spaces; a rear wheel steering system is also available.

Interior Comfort and Cargo
The E- Class cabin is focused on comfort and quality. The design exudes class from to back. Leather and wood are everywhere and cargo space abounds.

Infotainment and Connectivity
Tons of integrated technology appears throughout the E-Class. New-generation MBUX Multimedia System with Augmented Reality Navigation system, including Natural Language Understanding and Keyword Activation (“Hey Mercedes”) and “Just Talk” function. There is a digital display behind the steering wheel and a separate dashboard screen for infotainment. The Burmeister 4D Surround Sound system with Active Ambient Lighting is standard. The Routines function is truly amazing. It learns the drivers preferences based on the time of day, outside temperatures, destinations and automatically activates heating, cooling, ambient light options, seat massage and that’s just the highlights. There are some clever features also; a selfie camera and you can download Tik-Tok, Angry Birds and Zoom.

Safety and Driver Assistance Features
It’s Mercedes so you know safety is paramount. Lots of driver assists, automated emergency braking, blind spot monitoring along with adaptive cruise control just for starters.

The newly redesigned E-Class is as close to perfect as you can get.
