More than 50 years ago,
Mercedes-Benz created an entirely new class of automobile -- a visionary vehicle
that became the benchmark against which all others were measured. Eight
generations later, the iconic E-Class continues to lead the
way. Redesigned inside and out, the all-new 2010 E-Class does nothing
less than redefine the very essence of Mercedes-Benz for the years to come. Bold
new styling. Innovative technology. Class-leading safety features. And
hand-crafted luxury. All captured in a family of seamlessly engineered vehicles
destined to travel in only one direction:
forward. Iconic. Idolized. And
soon to be imitated. Again. The car of tomorrow is the
right car for today. From the seemingly limitless endurance of the 1950s
"Ponton" body, to the much-copied style of the 1970s 280 Sedan, to the 1980s 300
E that AUTOMOBILE Magazine called "true greatness," the E?Class has long defined
what other cars will someday become. The 2010 E?Class Sedans and Coupes are
showcases of futuristic technology, indeed. But their greatest innovation is
demonstrating that you can love driving, care for your family, respect the earth
and even spend wisely. All at once, like no car before. Let the imitation
begin.
The E?Class
Sedans. From their four
aggressively squared headlamps and arrow-shaped hood to their wide LED
taillamps, the six sedans of the E?Class take a modern, muscular stance and
express it with brilliant detail. Sport Sedans take to the road with 18"
wheels11 and a sport-tuned chassis, while Luxury Sedans feature more
comfort-oriented tuning and elegant 17" wheels. The E 550 Sedans ride on
AIRMATIC adaptive air suspension. Choices in power include a 50?state BlueTEC
clean diesel,1 plus gasoline V?6 and V-8 models that are also available with
4MATIC all-wheel drive. Advanced technology
is expressed with both modern style and old-world craftsmanship in the spacious
E?Class Sedan cabin. Polished wood and chrome trim complement the precisely
double-stitched upholstery. A multifunction steering wheel and the central
controller of the COMAND system put the most commonly used functions within easy
reach. And both a power glass sunroof and a hands-free Bluetooth® interface12
are standard equipment, to help you feel more connected to the outside world.
While an extensive menu of available luxuries entices you to stay
inside.
E?Class
Coupes. Long, low and wide, the E?Class Coupes strike an
aggressively confident stance. Staggered-width wheels - 17" on the E 350 and18"
on the E 550 Coupe11 - wear wider tires at the rear for more surefooted
acceleration and crisper steering feedback. LED taillamps wrap dramatically into
the muscular rear quarters. Dual polished exhaust tips, trapezoidal on the E
550, hint at the power within. Underpinning it all is the AGILITY CONTROL
suspension of the E 350, or the E 550 Coupe's lowered, sport-tuned Dynamic
Handling suspension, upgraded brakes and sculpted lower
bodywork.
It has the power to motivate
every car that follows it. A 7?speed automatic
transmission that adapts to your driving style, shifting as your mood does.
Engines that only call on their alternator and power steering pump as needed,
sipping less gasoline whenever they're not fueling your exuberance. The E?Class
will lead other automakers to the future. But first, it will stop them in their
tracks.
Engineered to enlighten. Even in the middle of the
night, the new E?Class doesn't leave you in the dark. Ensconced amid the warm
glow of its cabin, the E?Class brings visionary new driving capabilities to
light. An elegant central controller provides intuitive access to your
entertainment with a twist of your hand. Other available systems help you back
up, or maneuver into a parking space, or spot pedestrians at night using
imperceptible infrared light.5 The E?Class sheds new light on what a car can do
for you.
It can predict
the future. And change history. Foresight with fortitude.
Its PRE-SAFE® system can detect an impending collision, while its optional
DISTRONIC PLUS helps brake the car. Its ATTENTION ASSIST can tell if you're
getting sleepy on a long drive.3 Its adaptive Bi-Xenon headlamps continuously
vary the shape of their beams, to brighten more of the road while reducing glare
to oncoming drivers. If all that's not enough, it has up to 11 air bags7 -
including new pelvic air bags for the front seats. Even by looking just a few
milliseconds ahead, the new E?Class can alter the course of your
future.
E-Class options and
packages. Every E?Class
comes generously equipped with standard features and systems to enhance every
drive with performance, luxury and security - from their automatic light-sensing
headlamps to their LED taillamps. Refinements include digital dual-zone climate
control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, auto-dimming mirrors and 14?way power
front seats with a 4-way power steering column and memory system. To tailor your
E?Class even more precisely to your wish list, a wide selection of innovations,
enhancements and conveniences are offered as individual options, or packaged
together at a significant savings over their individual
value. Source: mbusa.com While every reasonable effort is made to ensure
