The E-Class Sedan
Summing up Mercedes-Benz in one letter.
For over 60 years, the letter E has been synonymous with comfort, safety and elegance. It is a tradition that the 2011 E-Class is proud to continue. The driving experience is as sublime as always with a wide range of exciting engines complemented by our intelligent transmission and suspension systems.
The roots of the E-Class can be traced back as far as the early 20th century, when it set the lead for others to follow, both technologically and economically. Its timeless design still sends Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts into raptures to this day.
All the best aspects of the previous eight generations of the E-Class are combined in both the E-Class Sedan and E-Class Wagon. The high levels of comfort and safety are the result of many decades of development work at Mercedes-Benz. Yet the end result is something utterly unique: the E-Class.

Engines
We go to extraordinary lengths to produce the special driving experience offered by the E-Class.
The E 350 4MATIC™ Sedan features a V-6 engine that produces 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, giving you plenty of power to get the most out of everyday driving. Performance goes a step further on the E 550 4MATIC™ Sedan with its V-8 engine. The key data: 5.5-litre displacement, 382 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. The result: a sublime driving experience, whatever the situation. Thanks to a lower final drive ratio, we were able to lower the engine speed level – and with it, the noise level.
It's amazing how quiet the six cylinder E-Class BlueTEC diesel engine runs while delivering exemplary power in any driving condition. The E 350 BlueTEC Sedan has a maximum power output of 210 hp, impressive 400 lb-ft of peak torque and a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 7.8 seconds. Equipped with our next generation BlueTEC technology, this turbo-charged engine also meets the world's toughest exhaust emission regulations, while AdBlue injection, employing both the common-rail direct injection principle and a special particulate filter, makes it one of the world's cleanest diesel engines, eliminating more than 80 per cent of nitrous oxide emissions.
With seamless performance and up to 1,176 km per tank[1], the E 350 BlueTEC Sedan is yet another important step closer to the Mercedes-Benz goal of emission-free mobility.

Transmissions
All E-Class models combine magnificent power delivery with economy and environmental compatibility, because fitted standard on all E-Class models is the 7G-TRONIC, 7-speed automatic transmission. This engineering masterpiece ensures barely perceptible shifts through the entire range of gears.
Along with intelligent transmission programming that learns and adapts itself to your personal driving style, 7G-TRONIC can skip several gears for responsive stopping power or when downshifting for quick bursts of speed. It also boasts a second reverse gear with a higher transmission ratio to make pulling away on ice and snow easier and safer. You can change gears using the steering wheel shift paddles or leave the job to the automatic transmission.
The seven forward gears in the 7G-TRONIC allow an ideally adapted engine speed at all times, thus reducing fuel consumption. The shorter shift times and smoother shifts make gear changes that much easier, as well as reduce the noise level, which all combined result in the perfected driving experience you would expect from such an advanced machine.
Handling
Fine wood and sumptuous materials aren't the only factors that help create the exceptional comfort you'll experience in the E-Class Sedan. The silence of the E-Class is legendary. Credit for the low noise levels inside the vehicle goes in part to the measures taken to isolate engine sound. This and further extensive sound-absorbing measures mean that, while you'll hear a lot about the E-Class, you won't hear a lot from it.
Further to its almost imperceptible engines and transmissions, the E-Class' enhanced DIRECT CONTROL package gives you more driving enjoyment, particularly through corners, with no loss of ride comfort. Direct steering and reduced pitch and roll help to create a more agile driving experience.
All of this is taken to an even higher level with standard AIRMATIC DC air suspension[1] on the E 550 4MATIC™ Sedan. AIRMATIC DC uses the Adaptive Damping System (ADS) to reduce body roll when cornering. If the sensors detect a sporty driving style, the comfortable default suspension setting is automatically firmed up. AIRMATIC DC is self-levelling and maintains a constant ride height for greater stability and improved handling. At high speeds, the body is automatically lowered to reduce roll and pitch.
[1] Not available on E 350 models or the E 63 AMG Sedan.
Our award-winning 4MATIC™ permanent all-wheel drive system gives you excellent control over your E-Class Sedan, so you can drive with complete confidence, no matter what the season or road conditions. It is always engaged, relentlessly sending torque to each wheel independently, ensuring optimal traction and control.
4MATIC™ is aided by our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4ETS). 4ETS monitors each wheel for the first sign of wheel slippage [1]. It then individually brakes the slipping wheels to maintain the perfect balance of power and traction. By continuously ensuring that more power goes to the wheels with more grip, 4ETS can help keep you moving, even if only one wheel has traction.
4MATIC™ also works seamlessly with our Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), enhancing your all-wheel drive advantage through curves in rain, snow, and even on dry roads.
[1] No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
Seating comfort
When it comes to making you feel at ease, the E-Class Sedan has few rivals – which is not about to change – but we have refined a few of the details to help enhance the feeling.
tandard 14-way power adjustment for the heated front seats and power adjustable lumbar support for the driver's seat allow the ideal seat position to be found. Climate Comfort seats[1b] are available for you and your front passenger, featuring active ventilation to cool the seat surfaces and individually adjustable luxury head restraints.
The E-Class doesn't leave your rear-seat passengers out in the cold, either. The rear seats are heated[2b] to ensure that everybody travels in perfect comfort.

Entertainment and Communication
The E-Class Sedan takes entertainment to the same level as it takes comfort and driving enjoyment.
You'll survey all the cockpit controls in a single glance thanks to the multifunctional COMAND display screen in the centre console. The 7" colour LCD display has extended functionality and is more intelligent and user-friendly than ever before. The COMAND APS system[1c], equipped with an integrated hard-disc drive (HDD) navigation and 6-disc DVD changer, combines navigation, audio and telephone into one intuitive design. Easier still, all key functions can now be called up by means of the LINGUATRONIC voice control function. The destination input section of the navigation system has whole-word recognition capability for points of interest and road names.
Listening to your favourite music in the E-Class becomes a truly outstanding sensory experience thanks to the premium harman/kardon® LOGIC7® surround sound system[2c], featuring 14 loudspeakers, 610 watts of power and a 9-channel Digital Sound Processing (DSP) amplifier. You're certain to appreciate the Media Interface[3c], which gives you 3 different connection cables – one for your iPod®, a USB input for memory sticks and the auxiliary audio input. Standard Bluetooth connectivity is also included, allowing you to enjoy safe, hands-free use while driving.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio[4c] is at your fingertips, integrated into your vehicle's audio system. It's easy and works seamlessly with your vehicle radio controls just like you expect your vehicle radio to work; including the ability to preset your favourite channels.

Safety
Mercedes-Benz is the first and only automaker to offer built-in technology to help you drive safer and protect you in the event of danger and after an accident. The E-Class Sedan is no exception, it is the rule.
Technology made up of active safety features like the "control and display" concept, minimize distractions from the road. Systems that provide support in critical situations and alert the driver to potential hazards – such as our Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and integrated Brake Assist (BAS) system[1d] - are cornerstones of the safety design. The vehicle's safety technology activates in the event of danger, including anytime evasive steering maneuvering is detected, and it takes precautionary measures to reduce the risk of injury to occupants. But thanks to standard Active Bi-Xenon headlamps, you will now be able to detect obstacles earlier than previously possible.
Should an accident be unavoidable, the advanced technology is quick to react, offering protection for your own vehicle and for others, including a high-strength safety cell, adaptive front air bags[2d], front side-impact air bags, pelvic air bags, a driver's knee air bag, head protection curtains, the crash responsive NECK-PRO front head restraints, and more. And should an airbag or emergency tensioning device be activated, the vehicle can engage the optional TeleAid System[3d], putting your vehicle in touch with the TeleAid Emergency Response Center, where trained specialists can assess the situation and alert emergency services quickly and efficiently.
[1d] No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
[2d] WARNING: The forces of a deploying air bag can cause serious or fatal injuries to a child under age 13. Children under 13 should be seated in the back seat if possible. See Operator's Manual for additional warnings and information on air bags, seat belts and child seats.
[3d] Subscription is required for service to be active. TeleAid operates only where cellular and Global Positioning System coverage is available. Available as a standalone option on E 350 models. Standard on the E 550 4MATICTM Sedan and the E 63 AMG Sedan.
Exterior
The E-Class body pays visual homage to its predecessors. Yet it displays its very own design idiom: the front end sweeps back dynamically, the long flanks exude athleticism and the rear section is emphatically broad. The presence and appeal of the E-Class Sedan is instantly apparent to the observer, displaying a sense of self-assurance that is perfect in keeping with its long history of pre-eminence. It is a picture of pure power.
The striking exterior of the E-Class Sedan includes the standard AMG Styling Package featuring dynamic front and rear aprons and powerful side sill panels. The design leaves no doubt that the 2012 E-Class embraces all the characteristics of a genuine Mercedes-Benz.
Interior
We've thought ahead so you can enjoy the drive. The interior is uncluttered and all the controls laid out intuitively. Simply get in and drive away. In one sense, you've already reached your destination: a place where you can sit back and relax.
Just a peek through the open door provides a glimpse of the re-interpreted ambiance that boasts a sporty, stylish design along with distinctive appointments that make the E-Class Sedan interior feel more like a living room than a vehicle.
The use of the finest-grade materials and their outstanding workmanship create a high-quality impression, both in terms of look and feel, and on a functional level. A wide range of ARTICO[1e] and premium leather options ensure that you will revel in customized splendor. Wood trim enhances the leather interior, while a heated Nappa leather steering wheel[2e] is the perfect final touch.
An atmosphere of total comfort is standard in the E-Class Sedan – thanks in no small part to the THERMATIC automatic climate control system, which allows front seat occupants to select temperature levels to suit their own individual requirements. The advanced THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control system[3e] allows separate temperature control in three different zones. Furthermore, humidity and pollutants are monitored and, if necessary, THERMOTRONIC automatically switches to recirculation mode.

E 63 AMG
The most powerful E-Class comes courtesy of the Mercedes-Benz AMG motor sport experts. The E 63 AMG Sedan has 518 hp and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds. And 516 lb-ft of torque ensures that acceleration from any other speed is an equally breathtaking experience. The top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h, but there are no limits to the driving pleasure offered. That's partly due to the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed transmission with rapid shift times. The four shift programs give you a choice between a Controlled Efficiency, Sport or Sport Plus mode, as well as a manual mode that lets you change gears using AMG shift paddles mounted to the steering wheel. The set-up has distinct echoes of the world of motor racing – as does the AMG high-performance braking system with its composite front brake discs, and the AMG sport suspension[1f].
In visual terms, the E 63 AMG Sedan cuts a striking figure. The AMG body styling consists of a front apron, unique LED daytime running lights, aggressive side skirts and a rear apron with integrated diffuser. A slick AMG spoiler enhances the trunk lid. Other exclusive features of the E 63 AMG Sedan include a dual AMG sport exhaust with chromed twin tailpipes and AMG 19" 10-spoke alloy wheels.
In the exclusive interior of the E 63 AMG Sedan, high quality Passion leather appointments await. There's an ergonomic AMG sport steering wheel to help you keep the E 63 AMG Sedan under firm control while AMG sport seats hold you in place during spirited driving. These various features, including the RACETIMER in the AMG instrument cluster – assure an exciting motor racing atmosphere.

E 63 AMG
The most powerful E-Class comes courtesy of the Mercedes-Benz AMG motor sport experts. The E 63 AMG Sedan has 518 hp and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds. And 516 lb-ft of torque ensures that acceleration from any other speed is an equally breathtaking experience. The top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h, but there are no limits to the driving pleasure offered. That's partly due to the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed transmission with rapid shift times. The four shift programs give you a choice between a Controlled Efficiency, Sport or Sport Plus mode, as well as a manual mode that lets you change gears using AMG shift paddles mounted to the steering wheel. The set-up has distinct echoes of the world of motor racing – as does the AMG high-performance braking system with its composite front brake discs, and the AMG sport suspension[1f].
In visual terms, the E 63 AMG Sedan cuts a striking figure. The AMG body styling consists of a front apron, unique LED daytime running lights, aggressive side skirts and a rear apron with integrated diffuser. A slick AMG spoiler enhances the trunk lid. Other exclusive features of the E 63 AMG Sedan include a dual AMG sport exhaust with chromed twin tailpipes and AMG 19" 10-spoke alloy wheels.
In the exclusive interior of the E 63 AMG Sedan, high quality Passion leather appointments await. There's an ergonomic AMG sport steering wheel to help you keep the E 63 AMG Sedan under firm control while AMG sport seats hold you in place during spirited driving. These various features, including the RACETIMER in the AMG instrument cluster – assure an exciting motor racing atmosphere.
