Available in sedan and coupe iterations, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class demonstrates the way a luxury vehicle can and should be about more than mere flash. With its impressive range of forward-thinking advanced safety technologies, the E-Class is tangible proof of Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to putting driver well-being at the forefront of the riding experience. Test drive a brand-new Mercedes-Benz E-Class from our inventory today, and let a member of our sales team show you the many ways in which the new E-Class is putting the safety of you and your passengers first.
PRE-SAFE®
Able to detect vehicle instability prior to an impending accident, this system will tighten the seat belts and close all windows in an effort to prepare the cabin for a collision.
Active Brake Assist
Through its use of radar, Active Brake Assist can detect when you're approaching a stopped or slowing vehicle ahead at too fast a speed and help initiate braking.
ATTENTION ASSIST®
When your E-Class notices any sign of potential driver drowsiness (through its ongoing monitoring of 70 factors), this system will transmit audible and visual warnings to the driver.
Car-to-X Communication
One step closer to car-to-car communication on the road, Car-to-X Communication uses driving cues, such as wheelspin, to automatically alert a central system (and ultimately other E-Class drivers) of a potential hazard.
Standard and Available Features of the E-Class
You instantly know you’re in a Mercedes-Benz when you take a quick survey of the myriad of precautions the E-Class has taken to ensure you and your passengers get from Point A to B without incident. The range of standard safety features alone is staggering, including the PRE-SAFE® system, which notes unusual vehicle behavior and prepares occupants for an impending collision or rollover by closing the windows and adjusting both the seats and seatbelts (tightening the latter); also included are driver assist technologies like Active Brake Assist and ATTENTION ASSIST®, both of which track driving behavior and road conditions to offer emergency brake support and get the attention of a fatigued driver, respectively. And those are simply the beginning! The E-Class’ Car-to-X Communication system, through monitoring simple acts like putting on one’s flashers, can instinctively sent hazard alerts to a central system which then notifies other E-Class drivers of the hazard. Plus, there are several added safety packages to choose from, such as Blind Spot Assist, which will warn you both when a vehicle positions itself in your blind spot and also when you turn on your indicator while a car is in your blind spot. Also available is Parking Pilot with a rearview camera, which utilizes both audible and visual cues (like active guidelines on your in-dash screen) to eliminate potential dangers when parallel or perpendicular parking.
