With new engines, new assistance systems and a new language of Mercedes-Benz has upgraded the E-Class comprehensive. Both the sedan and the wagon already celebrating eleven new or optimized support systems from the future S-Class World Premiere.
These include systems that can prevent accidents for the first time with crossing vehicles and pedestrians and an active Lane Keeping Assist, which can also avoid accidents with oncoming traffic, and a glare-free high beam duration.
Objective in revising also recent technological advances that could be done at an early stage available for practice. Why does the E-Class anticipated developments for the future S-Class. Step forward the E-Class is also in efficiency and ecology. Ensure BlueDIRECT new four-cylinder petrol engines with direct injection.
The E-Class gets a new face and new shows proportions. Completely redesigned the front with new headlights, which cover all the functional elements with a single headlight glass. Flowing light elements within the headlights ensure that the E-Class remains signature four graphically obtained. As standard, both the low beams and the driving lights in LED technology are executed. Also available full LED headlights are available.
For the first time the E-Class with two different faces is to have: The basic design and equipment line Elegance available in the standard version of the classic, three-dimensional Sedan Grill in Three-blade design with star on the hood. The Avantgarde wearing the other hand sports car cooler with a central star and thus provides an independent, athletic fitting face.
Inside newly among others. The dreitubige instrument cluster, the trapezoidal framed display, the design of the air vents, an analog clock between the two central air vents, the center console has no manual override and a new multifunction steering wheel with Direct Select shift lever and shift paddles (in conjunction with automatic transmission)
Assistance systems fed
Another first is the introduction of stereo multi-purpose camera behind the windscreen in the area of the interior mirror. Her two "Camera Eye" enable stereoscopic vision with a range of 500 meters. At the same time, Mercedes-Benz has improved versions of the multi-stage radar sensor. As standard, both sedan and station wagon with the Collision Prevention Assist are fitted, a radar-based collision warning system with adaptive Brake Assist. It reduces the danger of a collision. The standard package include the Attention Assist, which warns now in an extended speed range before fatigue and inattention.
To see the options list: The Distronic Plus with steering Wizard can assist the driver in the tracking and controlled semi-autonomous driving Traffic Jam. The Brake Assist Plus with intersection assistant should be able to recognize for the first time also cross traffic and pedestrians and increase the braking of the driver. The Pre-Safe brake is to detect pedestrians and avoid up to a speed of 50 km / h, the collision. Safe Pre Plus can detect an imminent rear-end collision. The driver of the car is warned by activating the rear hazard lights. Then the system triggers measures for the reduction of the occupant load in rear impacts and can also securely brake the vehicle in a rear-end collision, so as to avoid secondary accidents.
In pre safe pulse moves the seat, the front passenger at an early crash phase, contrary to the direction of impact. As a result, the risk of injury and the severity of injury can be reduced in frontal crashes. Active Lane Keeping Assist can now detect occupied neighboring tracks, including oncoming traffic. At risk of collision, the system can also prevent from broken lines unintentional lane departure by unilateral braking. It complements the Active Blind Spot Assist. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus allows glare-free high beam length by hiding other vehicles in the beam cone.
Fuel-efficient engines
All engines for the E-Class sedan and station wagon are fitted with eco start-stop system. New is that the BlueDIRECT SI engine family with a four-cylinder gasoline engine with spray-guided direct injection. To its technology package include fast switching piezo injectors for multiple injection, rapid multi-spark ignition, fully variable camshaft adjustment for intake and exhaust, and a regulated oil pump. The E-Class achieves combines a consumption value of 5.8 liters per hundred kilometers (equivalent to 135 g / km CO2) efficiency class A. In addition, meet the new BlueDIRECT four-cylinder petrol engines from 2015, the current EU 6 standard.
Some diesel models of the E-Class are equipped as BlueTec models with SCR technology (Selective Catalytic Reduction) and thus fulfill the EU 6 emission standard after. The engine range complements the E 300 BlueTec Hybrid. It combines the four-cylinder diesel engine with an electric motor, thus providing a system output of 170 kW / 231 hp and 750 Newton meters. The E 300 Blue TEC Hybrid consumes 4.1 liters per 100 km km with CO2 emissions of 107 g /.
