E-Class

2018

The personal rewards of striving to be the best are even more meaningful in the development of young people than they are for automobiles. Instilling the values

of leadership, goal-set ting, discipline and teamwork in youth is an investment in everyone’s future. It’s why Mercedes-Benz USA is collaborating with the Laureus

Sport for Good Foundation, with an ongoing commitment to train and place hundreds of coaches for after-school and in-school sports programs in communities

around the countr y. Spor ts offer kids more than the chance to be phy sically active and have fun. It’s also an oppor tunity to have a mentor who can guide them,

help them learn how to deal with major life issues, and h elp them grow stronger not just physically but in the ir character. As a Mercedes-Benz driver, you become

a part of this effort to give hu ndreds of thousands of kids a better life today, and all of us a brighter tomorrow.

THE 2018 E-CLASS

Nobody said “astronaut.” There were six

kids at the family gathering, counting the

cousins, and you asked each one of them

the conversation-starter that’s worked for

generations. Two of them said they want

to be teachers when they grow up. One

looked up from her tablet and just said

“computers.” Another did his best to pro-

nounce “veterinarian.” The youngest one

just shrugged. And the one who came the

closest? She wants to design cars that can

drive themselves. Had she only added “to

the moon,” you’d have called it a win.

Driving the future.

Three hours into your drive home, you’re

still thin king abo ut it. Of co urse, you ’r e not

in a ﬂying car, nor are you heading for your

space colony. But still, you think to your-

self, have our dreams been grounded? You

turn up the music and keep driving.

The E‑Class brings

you innovations you

won’t ﬁnd in any other

brand of car, in any

class. And it’s the only

nameplate in the U.S.

The highway gently curves as you start to

climb the last grade before the city limits.

You r hand only li ght ly grip s the whe el. Your

foot is mere l y re s t i n g on the gas pe d a l . You

feel your car brake as a motorhome — two

lanes too far to the left — loses its momen-

tum in you r path. You che c k the mi r ror, tap

the turn signal lever, and without changing

your grip or movi ng your feet, your E- Clas s

executes a move with the charge of a full-

back and the grace of a ballerina. Another

tap and you’re back in the third lane, back

at your cruising speed, and suddenly, in

your mind, back at the kids’ dinner table.

Maybe you didn’t get to orbit the earth, or

drive on the moon. That said, the lunar rover

didn’t have radar-based cruise control, or

satellite navigation. No voice control, no

climate control, and surely no massaging

seats. You think about what your E-Class

can do: What you’re holding in your hands

used to be the future. But some engineers

with wild imaginations turned it into some-

thing else: the present. “I’m sure,” you say

to yourself, “some of them wanted to be

as tronauts.” An d here you are, dr i v i n g th e i r

“spaceship” to your house. Next year at the

family reunion, you’re taking that kid for a

drive. No, not to the moon. But to the edge

of the future she’ll someday reinvent.

that gives you a choice

of sedans, wagons,

and convertibles.

Performance

THE SELF-MOTIVATED CAR

As the ﬁrst hint of morning sunlight pokes

through your bedroom window, something

feels different. Your house is suddenly on

full auto-pilot: The coffee is freshly ground

an d br ewing on it s own. Your sho wer is pre-

warmed. Your clothes hang ready for your

day, not just pressed but nicely matched

without any effort on your part. In a few

minutes, you’ll summon your new E-Class

by voice, and it will greet you at the door

and drive you to work, then return home to

bring the kids to school. It all seems like a

futuristic dream. And as your alarm wakes

you up for real, you realize it is. Or is it?

Advancing the love of driving.

Reality, circa 2018, is not too far off from

your dream. Your real-life E -Class may not

be self-driving, but the semi-autonomous

capabilities it does offer were unheard-of

just a few years ago. That said, if it actu-

ally could offer to auto-pilot you to work

this morning, you’d likely say “no, thanks.”

You’d muc h rath er be in charge of it s turb o -

charged surge, paddle-shifting through all

nine speeds as your hands grip the wheel

and the tires grip the road. The symphony

of it all is what drives you — the emotion of

motion, seamlessly united, with you at the

center of it all. Behind the scenes, Direct

Injection and multispark ignition confer

constantly, and respond instantly — adapt-

ing in real time to turn less fuel into more

power with fewer emissions. The chassis

adapts to the road, with selective damping

that ﬁrms up in corners, or via AIR BODY

CONTROL,* which literally turns pressure

into poise around cur ves and over bumps.

When cars can fully drive themselves, the

perfo rmance advances in your E- Clas s wil l

help make the ride into the future smooth

and surefooted. But no matter how it moti-

vates the progress of all cars, what won’t

change is the way an E-Class inspires you,

its driver. Not just to dream, but to drive.

An E‑Class doesn’t just show you what’s new, it introduces you to what’s next. As an innovator, it drives the future.As a progressive performance car, it lets you drive it.

*Optional or not available on some models. Please see back of brochure.

Safety

AVOIDING IS THE POINT

If only you had known. If only you’d hit the

brakes that much sooner. If only it hadn’t

rained last night. If only that truck’s brake

lights worked. If onl y the driver behind you

had stayed farther back. If only you could

see around corners. And now that you’re

here, if only you could forewarn others.

If only you were in an E‑Class.

Mercedes-Benz engineers have spent 80

years pre parin g for a few millise con ds that

they hope — as do you — will never happen.

One thing they haven’t done in this time:

wait for others to lead the way. The result

may be seen in the 100,000 + patents, but

that’s neither the goal nor the inspiration.

The breakthroughs that star t as Mercedes-

Benz exclusives often go on to become the

standard for all cars — like crumple zones,

side-curtain air bags and stability control

already have. And as a number of systems

debuted by the E- Class undoubtedly will.

To help you avoid accidents, or help lessen

Luxury

STATE OF THE ARTISAN

You wouldn’t stop to eat on the way to a

dinner party. But you might listen to your

favorite singer on the way to their concert.

Th a t ’s what it fee l s li ke thi s evening , as yo u

drive your E-Class to visit your favorite spa.

It’s your ﬁrst time of f in weeks, and you’re

looking forward to a nice massage and a

little aromatherapy. So why, as you’re about

to park, do you turn around and drive off?

The hands that feed your soul.

At ﬁrst, some of the options in your E-Class

se e m e d a lit tl e ind u l gent, maybe even ov e r-

the-top. Heated and ventilated seats, sure,

but massaging ones? And while the air ion-

izer is a delight during allergy season, you

never imagined using the cabin fragrance

atomizer that comes with it. But today, the

same way you play music on the way to a

live concert, you set the ambient lighting

to a calm shade of purplish blue, chose

one of the “hot stone” massage* programs,

and let “Paciﬁc Mood” infuse the cabin air.

As your favorite singer played through the

elegant metal speaker grilles, your stress

began to dissolve. And now, as you arrive

at the spa, you already feel rejuvenated.

Even with all its advanced technology, it’s

nearly impossible to experience an E-Class

without appreciating the handwork within:

The tailoring of its supple upholstery. The

crafting of its wood trim. Many you can’t

touch, like eco-friendly components made

from ﬂax, coconut, or even olives. But you

can feel them, along with the devotion of

everyone who had a hand in your car’s

design, development, and assembly. The

thoughtful luxuries don’t lull you, nor dull

your senses. They reach out to your hands,

raise your sense of well-being, and turn

your idea of luxury in a new direction.

Even the most indulgent luxury should feel meaningful. It’s what turns a pleasure you never imagined into something you can’t imagine living without.

*Optional or not available on some models. Please see back of brochure.

A touch more thoughtful

Technolog y

Innovative Touch Control Buttons on the steering wheel put

a world of convenience under your thumbs. Responding like

tiny smartphone screens, they let you scroll, swipe and select

from menus of driving, entertainment and comfort features.

UNDER YOUR THUMB

The left Touch Control Button operates the

illustrated menu display in the instrument

cluster. You can customize vehicle settings,

call up trip data, activate driving assists,

and scroll through displays to show the info

you use most, from audio to navigation.

SCROLL, SWIPE, SELECT

The right Touch Control Button teams with

the 12.3" central screen. Intuitive menus

make it easy to enjoy the abundant audio

options, the standard COMAND® navigation,

and countless comfort settings from seating

to climate to 64-color LED ambient lighting.

POWER AT HAND

Fingertip- close behind the steering wheel

spokes, standard shift paddles let you take

charge of the sporty 9-speed transmission

at any moment. You can downshift with

a quick click of the “minus” paddle, even

multiple gears at once. To resume fully

automatic shifting, squeeze and hold

the “plus” paddle, or just leave both of

the paddles alone for a few seconds.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL

In addition to the Touch Controls, the

multifunction steering wheel lets you

adjust or mute the audio volume, use the

hands-free Bluetooth® system, or control

a variety of features with your voice. The

voice control system can even learn how

you speak, to make using it feel natural.

FINERY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Supple Nappa leather is hand-stitched to the rim

of the standard E-Class wheel. Additional options

let you choose heating of the rim, or accents of

polished Burl Walnut wood to match the cabin trim.

AMG models offer their own racing-bred designs.
