YEAR AFTER YEAR, E-CLASS INNOVATION PREVIEWS WHAT OTHER
CARS MIGHT BE IN THE FUTURE — BY DOING IT FOR YOU TODAY.

Standard and available equipment varies by model. Please see back of brochure.

SIX MODELS, ALL ROLE MODELS

For half a century, the E ‑Class has done one thing above all: It’s
driven the future of driving. First, it reinvented the luxury car as a
nimble yet roomy sport sedan. To that, it added flexible space for

people and cargo, and created a new kind of wagon. Over nine

generations, it’s repeatedly set the standard for safety, the pace

of performance, and the example for efficiency. Year after year, the

E‑Class shines the way to the future, so that all cars may someday

follow. Wrapping groundbreaking features in breathtaking style, it

inspires its driver like no other car: By making that someday today.

PRACTICALLY
PERFECT

TRUE STYLE DOESN’T CHASE TRENDS. MAYBE
THAT’S WHY THE E-CLASS KEEPS STARTING THEM.

THE FINE ART OF ENGINEERING

Like many artists, they sketch in charcoal and sculpt in clay.

But before it reaches the eyes of the public, the auto designer’s

work must also endure wind tunnels and crash halls. And to be

a Mercedes ‑Benz, an E‑Class must catch your eye, earn your

admiration, and maintain your affection for years to come. What

matters most is how well its design works from within — making

you feel secure, comfortable and confident. And inspiring you to

take one more glance before you turn off the garage light. The

way you see your E‑Class comes from how it makes you feel.

TIME
WELL
SPENT

IMPECCABLY STITCHED, HAND -FITTED
UPHOLSTERY AND HAND-POLISHED WOOD
CONCEAL A CORE OF NATURAL MATERIALS
CHOSEN TO SUSTAIN YOUR WELL-BEING.

TAILORED TO FIT

Distinctively individual as they may be, none of
your senses works alone. Any foodie, art lover
or fashion guru knows this. It’s how the muted
sheen and flawless fit of E‑ Class upholstery
tell you it’s supple and supportive, even before
you feel it. It’s how the positive precision of
each control relays the entire car’s reassuring
solidity. And it’s how multicolor ambient lighting
can put you and your passengers at ease as
effectively as the double ‑ filtered cabin air.

CRAFTED TO ENDURE

Beneath every exactingly fitted, painstakingly
finished surface of an E ‑ Class is a tradition of
craftsmanship generations deep. Even the most
modern offerings — like matte Open‑pore Brown
Ash wood or designo Natural Bamboo — are
crafted with a high degree of handwork. This is
also true for the upholstery, from the uncannily
leatherlike feel and legendary quality of MB ‑Tex,
to the superlative softness of hand‑matched
designo Nappa leather. The true beauty of an
E‑Class, however, might be concealed under its
sensuous surfaces. Steam‑expanded foams —
a process pioneered by Mercedes ‑Benz in the
1990s — eliminate harmful chemicals from the
cabin and its manufacture. And supporting
the seats, door trim and other elements are
natural products from flax, coconut and olives.
The E‑Class has been caring for the earth —
and its occupants — since long before it was
fashionable. But look how fashionable it is.

THRUST
FOR LIFE

THERE’S A HUNGER FOR PERFORMANCE IN EACH
OF US. AN E-CLASS SATISFIES IT IN MANY WAYS.

MOTIVATION IN MOTION

Rocketeers make rockets. Engineers make engines — the heart of

an automobile — and so much more. Mercedes‑Benz engineers

make dreams you can drive. Ever since Carl Benz patented the

first car, they’ve continued to advance the state of the art of the

automobile — with the first winning racecar, first all‑wheel drive,

first diesel, and first fully independent suspension. And after

they invent, they reinvent: Direct fuel injection, clean diesel, the

multilink suspension, and on and on. What you feel in an E‑ Class

is more than a rush of power. It’s the acceleration of progress.
