The Mercedes says this is the model that synthesizes the spirit of the brand, is ‘O’ Mercedes. After 70 years and about 13 million units sold, the E-Class is above all more intelligent.
The new and debut several technologies, but which makes the difference is the first steps toward autonomous driving, the Holy Grail of almost all brands of cars – and Google -. these days
systems Drive Pilot and Pilot steering allow the Class make a perfectly quiet highway ride, almost without interference from the driver. The new E can follow the front of the car up to 210 km / h, not only keeping the distance to the vehicle ahead as following it even during slight curves. You can also change tracks independently, making overtaking safely, simply by the driver use the flash; the fastest track is free, E does everything alone. Another new feature, the E-Class uses radar and a camera to read the road, to know where you are and keep in the right place to 130 km / h, even in heavy traffic or on roads with no markings – useful in work areas, for example. Now this is all very nice, but … is prohibited by law throughout Europe, except for Germany. In other words, European legislation is not yet ready for the new E-Class.
Even with this cool against the new Mercedes offers a long list of support for driving, and the leaders of the German brand say objective involves relieving the driver stress unnecessary. Let a few examples … This new Mercedes enters and leaves alone the car with the driver out of the car, mobile phone in hand command to serve the distance – a very useful trick for some tighter parking lots; then in progress, it is almost as if we followed trip with an angel standing guard. The E-Class keeps us in the right range, anticipates possible emergency braking, even to completely stop the car in case of risk of collision with another car (on the same track or coming from a cross), or – and this is new – with a pedestrian crossing the road in the wrong place. This Braking Assistant Active is standard equipment across the range E, and Mercedes says it has capacity to prevent accidents, or road kill, up to 100 km / h, or mitigating the damage from that speed.
Also in this chapter of aids for driving, or rather, aid in case of accidents, the new E has two refined systems. If the car detects a side collision, instantly inflates the seat cushions closer to the door, to remove driver or hanging from the impact site. Also in case of an accident at the time of impact, the sound system Class emits a sound that overrides or attempts to counter the typical frequency noise caused by an accident. Because? Because, say the studies, the most traumatic and most lasting memory of a road accident is hearing.
But, enough of technology. The new E-Class is finally integrated in the lines of the Mercedes family, premiered in the S-Class, and made more popular by Class C. In fact, the E is really very similar to big brother, not only abroad, but especially inside, where the facia design and instrument panel with two large LED screens in high definition, is almost modeled Class S. the materials are what is expected in this segment, the assembly follows the standards of the Mercedes, and the brand says that E now has more space for driver, passengers and luggage
that said, and met a few kilometers behind the wheel of an E 220 d, with the new 4-cylinder engine and 2l. – replaces the little old block 2.2l – , is a positive note for the engine, it is always 195cv (the Mercedes brand announces combined fuel consumption of 3,9l / 100km and 102g / km of CO2 emissions, a normal value in a utility), and comfort on board. The environment “there to Class S” is right and, and seems designed to appeal to more traditional customers of the German mark. Notes on behavior are for another time, after more interaction.
The Mercedes E Class is these days to start trading career in Portugal, where the brand is convinced that they have for sale that which is the new benchmark in the segment of business. And prices start at 58.200euro E 200 petrol, no 350EURO arrives at the E 220 d, and E 350 d – 3l V6 and 258cv – worth 71.350euro
