Mercedes choose evolution not revolution
Stand-out features of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class are are its sporty appearance, elegant character lines and elongated bonnet.
Mercedes-Benz has launched to the Irish market its new E-Class, for over 75 years the mainstay of the Mercedes-Benz model range.
As with every new E-Class, ‘evolution, not revolution’ are the words that best describe the approach taken by Mercedes-Benz in reaching out to a new generation whose choice is influenced by modern trends and technology whilst retaining the loyalty and affection of traditional E-Class customers.
Transformed in a host of different ways, those most evident are the subtle shifts taken to move E-Class even further up the luxury ladder in terms of its visual appeal, passenger comforts and interior appointments.
Retained in its latest interpretation is the classic, three-box proportions, albeit in a visually more dynamic form. Standard are high-performance LED headlamps, all with a distinctive day and night design. Stand-out features are its sporty appearance, elegant character lines, elongated bonnet, and well-proportioned rear, all fronted by a new generation facia and grille.
Improvements to watch for – made possible by its slightly longer wheelbase – are its increased interior headroom, greater rear leg and knee space, and a 25mm increase in elbow width. Luggage capacity has also increased up to 540 litres.
Attractive to younger owners ‘at home’ with technology, are its added tech and a more software-driven approach in which the performance and speed of data streams enables a greater use of ‘intelligent ‘functions.
