Mercedes-Benz brings intelligent, elegant E-Class sedan to Cebu
THE world’s authority when it comes to automotive innovation and design, Mercedes-Benz is now bringing to Cebu its latest showcase of technological innovations — the new E-Class.
This new and exciting vehicle that is raising the standard in today’s luxury sedan is perfect for Cebuanos who value quality, safety, and efficiency.
The elegant, technologically advanced E-Class comes with the best in driving features and top-ofthe-line accessories for optimum comfort and drive.
Ability to anticipate
Well-fitted with a 360-degree network of cameras, sensors and radars, the new E-Class puts safety first. Active Brake Assist is a standard safety feature that warns the driver of impending collisions, autonomously activates emergency brakes when necessary, and detects pedestrians crossing the danger zone ahead of the vehicle. Attention Assist keeps the driver focused on the road, alerting him when he is getting inattentive or drowsy. The Drive Pilot comes as a ground-breaking optional feature that follows road markings and intuitively adjusts to the speed of traffic ahead.
More optional driver assist features guarantee the most ideal of driving conditions: the Steering Pilot maintains the car straight on its lane and prevents it from unintentional swerving, while the Active Lane Change Assist allows the car to move on its own once it detects a clear lane.
Ability to adapt
The spacious interior of the E-Class offers a
luxurious edge: warm shades of brown leather suit ergonomically designed seats and balance a sporty aesthetic with long-ride comfort seating, while open-pore wood accents and an impressive 64-color interior lighting make the inside of the new E-Class ambient.
Optionally available on the fully digital cockpit are two high-resolution wide screen displays (12.3 inches diagonally each). Also, there’s a pair of touchsensitive pads on the steering wheel manageable by both thumbs and a Touchpad by the center console, providing ease of access to the E-Class’ infotainment system.
Five driving modes for the driver’s pleasure are made available: “Comfort,” “Eco,” “Sport,” “Sport+,” and “Individual” (personalized).
Efficiency
The driving dynamics of the new E-Class rules with its stellar specs. Powered by a 2.0 L inline four-cylinder petrol engine and geared with the new 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic transmission, this masterpiece is able to swiftly change gears with low engine revs, promoting fuel efficiency and manageably low noise levels. Equipped with standard steel suspension, the new E-Class offers agile and secured driving experience particularly on tricky and twisting roads.
Impressive form
More stunning features: a wheelbase that has grown by 65 mm and an overall length of 43 mm, panorama roof and head-out display that give passengers an almost seamless view of the sky.
With an elongated bonnet and a coupe-style roof that flows unto a wide-shouldered tail end make for an impressive form. Sparkly LED head and tail lights, alloy wheels and the legendary three-pointed star complete the sleek, sweeping design of the E-Class, a benchmark of sporty elegance.
