hen it comes to luxury cars, women love the Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan (V6). Considered as the ideal high-end car, its performance is not designed to disappoint. With its power, reliability, and strength, it’s an ultimate bonus that this car has a soothing presence. The price ranges from $53,575 to $102,675. Of course, the E-Class comes in different forms – Sedan, Coupe, Cabriolet, and Wagon with every form with its respective engine. All E-Class models, however, use a 7-speed automatic transmission. The cost range starts from E350 with its 302-horsepower and 3.5L V6. Next is E400, made special by its turbocharged 3.0L V6 and 330-horsepower. The priciest is the AMG E63 S which many consider is focused on delivering a notable performance on the road with its 585-hp and 5.5L twin-turbocharged V8. In just one look, the new E-Class Sedan captivates the senses. It starts with the all-new front end, comprised of LED headlamps that come standard, a redesigned grille with chrome pins, and AMG body cladding for a sporty, yet elegant appearance. Even the tail lamps have been revamped to feature a new geometric design, while new colors and materials present upgrades both inside and out, and an expanded selection of wheels allows for greater customization. Once it’s in “Drive,” you can find the latest generation of Driver Assistance Systems available, providing cooperative support to drivers and resulting in an especially high level of safety and convenience. Take, for example, the intelligent hands-off detection which uses sensors in the rim of the steering wheel to determine if the driver is holding the wheel and initiate Active Emergency Stop Assist when needed. Also available in some E-Classes, are Active Steering Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®, an adaptive cruise control system that automatically adjusts your speed for traffic ahead. In total, many of the driver assistance features offer a new level of automotive intelligence.
Adding to its progressive nature, the E 450 models have received a 3.0L inline 6-cylinder turbo engine with EQ Boost technology and a 48-volt onboard electrical system. The MBUX multimedia system incorporates Artificial Intelligence and optional Augmented Video for Navigation, projecting graphics like arrows and house numbers directly onto the image. Plus, smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoTM allow for seamless connectivity. And for all of its advanced features, the elegant comforts of the E-Class heritage remain standard, from heated front seats to the widescreen cockpit. It’s a complete rework of an automotive icon, and a fully realized vision of the future of luxury driving.
