2017 E-Class San Francisco

   

INNOVATION

         

This isn't just the   most advanced E-Class yet. With technologies no car has ever offered,   the 2017 E-Class writes a new chapter in the story of driving: Where   cars can talk to each other, and look out for you, like no other car on   the road.

It's the first car that can cover your ears before a bang-up.

Mercedes-Benz engineers are human engineers first. When   PRE-SAFE® Sound senses an impending collision, it emits safe "pink   noise" via the audio system to pre-trigger your ears' natural defense   against the loud noises of an accident.  

     

In a side impact, it's good to have innovation on your side.

   

PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side is a industry first that can help   prepare you for an impending side impact. By rapidly inflating the   front-seat bolster, it can move you further from an intrusion and help   reduce the forces of impact. [2]

 

Sometimes the future is just one lane away.

   

DRIVE PILOT takes intelligent cruise control in a new   direction: sideways. It can stop and go with the flow, and help you stay   between the lines, even in curves. And now you can change lanes with   just a touch of the turn-signal lever. [3]

DESIGN

           

Athletically elegant   outside, it's in the E-Class cabin where your senses come alive. Vivid   screens and flowing shapes entice the eyes. And from multitouch controls   to aromatherapy and a hot stone massage, wherever you touch, it   caresses you back.

Make getting around easier. By getting around the guesswork.

   

Standard COMAND® navigation helps get you where you want   to go with 3D maps, live traffic, searching via Yelp or HERE™, and lane   advice before turns. The touchpad controller lets you control by   tapping, twisting or even handwriting. [4]

Keep the world under your thumb. And your car under your other thumb.

   

Two smartphone-like pads control nearly all the car's   features without taking a hand from the wheel. Swipe and select from the   central screen with your right thumb. Change settings on the screen   between the gauges with your left.

More than a screen. More like a screening room.

   

A panoramic 12.3-inch screen unites navigation,   entertainment and countless comfort features. Sharper graphics and more   intuitive menus are clear to the eye and the mind. A second 12.3-inch   graphical instrument cluster is optional.

A cabin that follows the human form. And a century of tradition.

   

The E-Class cabin flows with the contours of nature.   Fine-tailored seats are sculpted to match the muscles in your body.   Exotic yet sustainable woods sweep door-to-door, their natural glow   edge-lit by 64-color LED  ambience.

PERFORMANCE

You don't measure a   car's efficiency just at the gas pump. It's also something you feel in   its confident agility. How it moves into traffic, or negotiates a   surprise. It's how an E-Class always feels right for the times, and in   the moment.

An even keel, even on choppy seas.

   

Available new AIR BODY CONTROL turns pressurized air into   poised handling and a polished ride. It's self-leveling and adaptive,   with modes for solo jaunts on twisty roads to Sunday journeys with the   whole family aboard.

Hugs the road, embraces the driver.

   

While the E-Class passionately grips the pavement, it   holds its favorite driver with equal affection. The enduring support of   its ergonomically contoured and crafted seats can be further enhanced   with active side bolsters.

A mode for every mood, and for every driver in you.

 

   

Turbocharged torque, delivered seamlessly.

   

The E300's turbo engine squeezes more power from less   fuel, atomizing and itemizing every drop, and self-tuning every few   milliseconds. A new 9-speed transmission responds more quickly yet   relaxes more efficiently.
