2012 E-Class Sedan and Wagon
125! years of innovation
Information Provided by:
In 1886, Carl Benz was awarded the patent for inventing the first car,
while just 60 miles away, Gottlieb Daimler developed his own version.
Between them they also invented the motorcycle and truck, and won
the first auto r ace. For 125 years, a passion for innovation has driven
Mercedes -Benz to continually reinvent the automobile — creating an
ongoing legacy of firsts that keep redefining the standard for all cars.
Among them, the 4-wheel independent suspension 80 years ago. The
crumple zone and fuel injection in the 1950s. The Electronic Stability
Program nearly 20 years ago. And more recently, PRE - SAFE.® Today,
the Three -Pointed Star remains far more than a shining symbol of
Mercedes -Benz innovation. It’s a guiding beacon for all automobiles.
where ideas are born. and passion is raised.

There are cars that spark emotions. There are some that start trends in design. And a handful that introduce new thinking to the world. But
few cars, if any, have inspired so many people — from drivers to automotive engineers across the globe — as profoundly as the Mercedes -
Benz E - Class. For nine generations, the car that created a new category of luxury sedan by bringing competence, confidence and comfort
together like never before, has been redefining what comes next. With their revolutionary safety innovations, new engines and advanced
driving systems, the 2012 E-Class Sedans and Wagons are more than a library of automotive milestones. They’re a laboratory of what all
cars might someday be. From performance and protection to passion and prestige, there are many cars that aspire to be a benchmark. But
achieving it requires more than aspiration. As every car that follows in its footsteps — and any E - Class driver — knows, it takes inspiration.
