Mercedes-Benz E-Class - What the Auto Press Says



 The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class ranks 1 out of 13 Luxury Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 52 published reviews and test drives of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class held the top spot in our Luxury Large Car rankings for most of 2008 and 2009, but Mercedes has improved it anyway. Entirely redesigned for 2010, the new E-Class has a new sense of style inside and out. It features more athletic road manners than the car it replaces and, incredibly, a lower price. The new E-Class is a must-see for every luxury large car shopper.

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class doesn’t make any sense. 

It’s a better car than the 2009 E-Class. It has an eye-catching look that’s best seen in person, an opulent interior with an old-world panache that other luxury cars can’t match, a newfound sporty character and a list of safety equipment that boggles the mind. Yet it’s cheaper than the car it replaces. Mercedes improved the E-Class drastically for 2010, then cut its price. A seasoned auto critic with the New York Times writes, “I can’t recall a price cut of this magnitude -- nearly 9 percent -- on any recent car, let alone one that’s been fully redesigned.”

The new car is less-expensive than the old one, but it isn’t cheaply made. The Times continues, “Not only is there no evidence of cost-cutting, but in terms of interior luxury, the E-Class actually moves closer to the flagship S-Class sedan.”
Other Cars to Consider

Still, the Benz won’t be the perfect car for every luxury large car shopper. The BMW 5-Series and Audi A6 are better handlers -- but the E-Class has narrowed the gap, and is now nearly as poised as those cars. 

But there may not be a large sedan with a better balance of luxury, style and performance than this one.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan: The Details

Safety-conscious shoppers, in particular, should explore the E-Class. It offers all of the typical safety equipment luxury buyers are accustomed to, but also has a new bag of tricks that no competitor can match, including an Attention Assist system designed to help drowsy drivers stay alert, and a system that automatically dims the highbeam headlights to avoid blinding oncoming cars. It’s enough to make the Volvo S80 duck in shame.

The E-Class is also offered in a coupe body style, but shoppers shouldn’t consider the two interchangeable. The E coupe has the same engine and transmission choices as this car, but it’s built on the C-Class chassis, which gives it very different handling dynamics and interior proportions.

The E-Class sedan is available as a V6-powered E350, which reviewers say is an adequate performer but lacks the punch of similar models from BMW and Audi, or a V8-powered E550, which should easily satisfy speedsters. A 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is optional on both. A hybrid model and a diesel-powered edition are expected to join the E-class stable for the 2011 model year, but neither has yet been made available to the press. The high-performance E63 AMG is covered in a separate review.

Top Luxury Cars - 1954-2009 Mercedes Benz S Class Models

The Mercedes Benz S-Class model hit the market for the first time in the year 1954 and is still under production till date. It has been marketed in various generations and several models. The Mercedes Benz S550 was launched in the year 2007 for the first time. It falls under the category of full sized luxury class sedans.

The S-Class vehicles are the largest selling luxury flagship sedan vehicles in the world, which have been production for nearly 55 years. The name S-Class is derived from the German language word Sonderklasse, meant for the "Special Class". The designation S-Class was applied officially in the year 1973 with the model line W116. Since then, five generations of S-Class sedan models have been produced so far.

When the Mercedes Benz released the model for the 2007 - the S550, the vehicle created a big buzz with the latest features with use of cutting edge technologies, including night vision system and the cruise control system based on the radar that could bring the vehicle to a full stop.

The vehicle released with further modifications in the year 2009 includes a few features common to that of 2007 model. The main other features included in the latest edition are the live traffic reports and the integration of iPod to keep the S550 model competitive. However, The iPod fitted in the vehicle does not show the music files on the LCD and the iPod integration in the vehicle was already provided in the model vehicle 2008 ML550, before the launch of the revamped S550 cabriolet.

Top Luxury Cars - The Mercedes-Benz S550

The uber-cool Mercedes Benz S550 comes loaded with plenty of luxurious features. For instance, the spot warning system in the vehicle (released in the year 2009), warns when the lanes to the side of the vehicle are occupied by the other vehicles and advises the driver to do the needful. The night vision system and the adaptive cruise control system in the vehicle are the two high tech features included. The massage seats in the vehicle provide the passengers as well as the driver a great comfort, while the aerodynamic suspension helps it in running wild on the roads at the maximum speed.

Using the features like the steering wheel button and the speedometer display one can browse the music files and can select them. The Mercedes Benz S550 comes along with a few means of music, the most being the PC Card slot, designed for the MP3 songs loaded in flash memory. The 6-disc changer in the vehicle reads both the DVDs and the MP3 CDs. The stereo system mounted in the vehicle receives both the HD radio and the Sirius satellite.

The night vision system provided in the vehicle makes it easier to view what is located ahead of the vehicle during the dark. The night vision system can be activated only during the dark times, and it replaces the display of the speedometer with an enlarged white and black view out the front side. The S550 comes with the 5.5 liter V8 engine and is offered with the 7-speed automatic transmission. It gives the fuel economy of 14 miles per gallon in the city, and 22 miles per gallon on highway roads.

Top Luxury Cars - The 2009 Mercedes E-Class

Last year, Mercedes introduced a new C-class Which is the nearest it has come to making a MW 3- series. The C-class has the spirit and driving dynamics that its predecessors lacked and even introduced different front-end styling to distinguish the most popular Sport versions. Surely, its bigger brother, the new model E-class, would follow the same pattern?

The answer is no. The new E class has many virtues, but sportiness isn't one of them. At least not for the first versions to go on sale; we can expect the E63 AMG, announced at the New York Auto Show in April and due to go on sale at the end of the year, to be the exception.

Mercedes bosses say that as the heart of the range, the E-class is too important to change fundamentally. They point out that in this market sector, Mercedes is dominant; it easily out-sells the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. So the ninth generation would develop by evolution, not revolution. It had to be a comfortable familiarity but below the surface incorporate a myriad of detail improvements and all the latest technology.

So W212 is lower, wider and more prominently wedge-shaped than its predecessor. That allows it to have the best aerodynamics in its class: a drag coefficient of 0.25 (most of its rivals are 0.28 or above) The imposing grille is still there - and the star still rises above it - but the four headlamps are angular rather than oval.

To meet European regulations for pedestrian safety, that low, wind-cheating bonnet has to be able to pop up 50mm in an accident; while others use complex pyrotechnics, Mercedes has an elegantly simple solution with steel springs.

The emphasis on aerodynamics is part of a program to improve fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions dictated by other EC regulations. For some reason, in Germany environmental measures that elsewhere are called 'green', turn blue.

Mercedes calls its eco-pack age BlueEfficiency. It includes more efficient engines, low rolling resistance tyres and energy-saving alternators, and fuel, air conditioning and power steering pumps that switch off when not required.

The four-cylinder petrol engines are downsized to 1.8 litres, have direct fuel injection and are turbocharged. The three four-cylinder CDI diesels - E200, E220 and E250 - all use the new 2.1-litre engine in different states of tune. The E350 CDI and E350 CGI have developments of the previous six-cylinder engines; the petrol CGI also has direct injection. The 5.5-litre V8 engine for the top model, the E500, is carried over from the old E-class; this is the only version not to have the additional BlueEfficiency features.

In Europe, more than half the market for this type of car is diesel, so I concentrated on the E250 CDI and E350 CDI. These engines develop respectively 204 and 231bhp. The 250 comes equipped with a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission while the six-cylinder 350 has Mercedes' latest seven-speed automatic.

The four-cylinder diesel has a curious combination of characteristics. It is unusually smooth and quiet at idle but noisy when pushed hard. Although the 250 has two turbochargers in sequence to even out the power delivery, the performance is far from startling, and the automatic transmission does it no favours. In this respect, the seven-speed E350 CDI is much lively but our experience with the new Jaguar AJ-V6D (and the BMW 335d) suggests it is not the best of the latest crop of high performance diesels.

As before, the F-class is better to travel in than to drive. All models have adaptive shock absorbers that react to the driving situation and adjust to provide maximum ride comfort or cornering stability as required. The seats are improved, the air conditioning allows the choice of three different air volume and distribution modes and is arranged in three independent zones driver, front passenger and rear passengers - and there is more space inside thanks to the 2cm longer wheelbase and 3.5cm extra width. Mercedes aimed to make this car the most comfortable car in its class. I think it may have succeeded.

Mercedes has been in the fore front with most of the active safety systems that we now take for granted: ABS anti-lock braking, ASR traction control, ESP stability control. The new F-class moves this to a new level with a raft of 'assist' systems, all electronic and very clever and designed to see and react to the motoring hazards and mitigate their consequences. This car doesn't quite drive itself but you get the impression that it could... Where to start? Attention Assist is a good example of Mercedes-knows- best. This drowsiness detector is standard equipment on all E-class models. Sensors monitor 70 different parameters to pick up irregularities in driving behavior. If it detects a series of steering errors or other inconsistencies it concludes that the driver is sleepy and sounds a warning and a symbol representing a cup of tea appears on the instrument display to suggest that you take a break.

Brake Assist Plus is a radar- based system linked to the optional Distronic cruise control which provides the driver with optimum braking pressure when a collision is imminent and if no action is taken will apply the brakes automatically. Lane Keeping Assist uses a camera on the windscreen to follow lines in the road and when the car has moved out of a lane with out indicating, an electric motor in the steering wheel vibrates its rim as a warning. Blind Spot Assist provides a light warning of the presence of a car in the blind spot of the side mirror. Speed Limit Assist, recently available on a number of other cars, recognizes speed limit signs and displays the prevailing limit at the center of the speedometer.

Nightview Assist Plus uses an infrared camera to give a greyscale image on the dashboard screen to show hazards beyond the light range and highlight pedestrians. The new E-class takes vehicle lighting further forward, liter ally and technologically. Others have active headlamps that turn with steering or illuminate corners but Mercedes' optional Adaptive Highbeam Assist uses a windscreen camera to recognize oncoming traffic and adjust the headlamp beams accordingly. This is much more than automatic dip ping; it changes the shape of the dipped light beam to give the best possible road illumination from 65 to as much as 300 meters. It works beautifully.

Mercedes talks of all these systems making the car your 'intelligent partner'. My first reaction was 'too much stuff' but there is no doubt that they represent further advances in safety technology and of course you don't have to tick all the options boxes.

5 Cars With Weird Designs



There are some cars that crapper verify your breath absent with their resistless looks. On the other hand, there exist some cars with designs that are rattling mundane and ordinary, while some automobile designs crapper amaze you with their oddities and unusualness. Here is the list of 5 cars with unearthly designs:

1. Mercedes-Benz Count Trossi SSK

Luxury automobile maker Mercedes-Benz has named this \"Count Trossi\" SSK after the \"aristocratic\" European race-car driver Count Carlo Felice Trossi. This automobile actually has a rattling smart set of wheels, despite having 'weird automobile design'. This automobile had been extremely flourishing in the Le Mans, Monaco, and the Mille Miglia.

There are only quaternary original models of the Count Trossi SSK in the world and each is a 'holy grail' among automobile collectors. Recently digit model from 1929 sold for US$7.4 million!

2. Peugeot Honey-B

The Peugeot Honey-B same its namesake looks pretty much same a bounteous honey bee on wheels! It seems same a Peugeot automobile designer must have got stung by a honeybee digit period and he decided to eternize his 'honeybee experience' and came up with this strange car.

Like bees, it is aerodynamic, but different bees, it is a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) supercharged by gas render cells. This Honey-B boasts of seats with techno-cool hydraulic arms that help various planned adjustments which effectuation they pull automatically to your preferred position once you're seated!

3. Hondo Puyo

The Honda Puyo crapper be termed as the \"Weird-great Puyo\". The little information we institute on this 'weirdo' automobile tells us that this is a construct automobile which runs on gas fuel. Unlike the fuel-cell supercharged Honda FCX, the Puyo prides on \"no sharp edges\" and is covered in fleecy polymer so that it crapper ingest light collisions. If you are thinking to mate this, you have to use a joystick instead of a steering wheel.

4. Nissan Moon Buggy

Fueled by imagination, designer Robert Hoffmann drew up this Nissan Moon Buggy construct for an auto magazine. This unearthly automobile is rattling implausible to go into production. This strange Nissan Moon Buggy has been inspired by the Lunar Modules.

The automobile has oversize side wheels that are supposed to provide more efficiency in maneuverability. Not only that, when it reaches high speeds, Ailerons are deployed for increased aerodynamics, Ailerons are commonly institute on fixed-wing aircraft!

To be honest, the automobile looks same a cross between an alien and an iPod.

5. Nissan Pivo 2

Who says no automobile designers organisation cars for gals? The Nissan Pivo 2 is just not a 'girlie-girlie' automobile construct but a rattling urbane digit in that! It is supercharged by advanced compact lithium-ion batteries and features a unequalled rotating cabin, which effectuation no reverse gear is required! The quaternary wheels are supercharged by electric engine and crapper invoke finished 90 degrees to allow the Pivo 2 to drive sideways as well as forward. The Pivo 2 looks as if it has come from the Pixar Studio!

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet



Mercedes-Benz long and awaited for E-Class Cabriolet module don a cap and joint so that it crapper provide all year-round comfort for all passengers. Their aerodynamic experts hit devised an 'Aircap' to keep all occupants warm and liberated of buffeting. It module also be available with an Airscarf grouping from the SLK model.

It blasts hot air at the humble of the cervix from the headrests making this automobile the forthcoming the beginning of an open-top season all year round. The Aircap is something Mercedes has been employed on for 20 years, consisting of a mollycoddler and tangle netting in the crowning of the windscreen.

At the touch of a button this tangle raises and the side headrests which also are joined to another tangle net automatically goes up and down when the mollycoddler rises. The equipage has been tested in their twine tunnel racing 90mph gales, with the side windows up experience very little blow in the main compartment. It took 2000-3000 hours of twine tunnel experiments and intricate design in the build of the tangle nets to create the amend wine-free cabin.

With an intend to create a warm air clean in the cabin and keep modify from escaping and the climate grouping in the automobile for longer, the goodness from this has resulted in better fuel frugalness and low in-car racket levels because of less aerodynamic drag ad flutter inside the cabin.

The E-class equipage module become with a 7-layered electric folding roof and when it crosses the British tenant in March 2010 the equipage module be available in a choice of 7 engines and the Aircap module be available on every single model, and as an additional bonus it hopes to introduce its prices 5% below those of its predecessor.

When it comes to assessing the benefits of the caps and scarf, Mercedes may hit panting every another equipage and coupe of the liquid including the BMW 3 Series. Swindon someone motorists are going to find this automobile hard to cut what with soothing hot air blowing at the humble of their necks.

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe



The Mercedes-Benz sulphate AMG coupe debuted this assemblage at the Frankfurt Motor Show, scheduled to go on understanding as early as next year. For those of you who hit seen this beauty, the concept of a redeemable edition makes perfect sense.

Yes the Mercedes sulphate AMG redeemable edition has been leaked onto the internet, spurring rapid-fire rumors of its existence. The rumors, photos and videos hit only served to amp-up anticipation for this foreign beauty.

So let's compare the Mercedes coupe and the convertible. The notable disparity is that the redeemable edition spied lacks the suave Gullwing doors featured on its coupe predecessor, replaced by standard doors. It haw be less saint Bondish, but it is ideal for warm weather destinations. We are thinking that it would make a stellar addition to any fast of foreign property cars, adding an understated and sporty option to appeal to the masses.

If the rumors are true, the entranceway marks the only disagreement between the sulphate AMG coupe and the sulphate AMG convertible. Both are said to feature the same 6.2-liter V8 engine confident of 563 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque.

As for the 0-60 test, the Mercedes sulphate AMG coupe edition hits it in an awesome 3.8 seconds, and that leaves us to assume that the lidless edition will holdup somewhat behind, probable at an even 4 seconds.

It is always a welcome addition when a great supercar paves the artefact to a \"convertible\" or ofttimes titled \"roadster\" edition of itself. The market for foreign convertibles and foreign property convertibles will certainly hit room for one more!

While you await the release of the newborn Mercedes convertible, you can intend in the mood behind the wheel of a Mercedes property Miami style, or foreign property car of your pick for y our next playing or pleasure excursion.

Detroit 2010: Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet unveiled



We tend to forget some world debuts at motor shows because we’ve seen the cars before, in pictures that is. It’s because the trend these days is to release info and photos of a car ahead of its official unveiling – case in point being the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet which was shown off in the metal for the first time in Detroit.


The four-seater folding metal roofed (open/close in 20 sec, up to 40 km/h) cabriolet completes the E-Class family and presents a world first in the shape of the Aircap wind deflector, which Mercedes says considerably reduces air turbulence when the top is down. Aircap replaces conventional wind deflectors, which are quite unsightly. The topless E also comes with the latest gen Airscarf neck-level heating system integrated into the back rests of the front seats. It blows warm air from adjustable air vents in the head restraints to warm necks, hence the “scarf” in the name.


A big range of engines are available, from the E 220 CDI BlueEfficiency (170 bhp) to the E 500 with 388 bhp. Safety gadgets such as Attention Assist drowsiness detection system, Pre-Safe predictive occupant protection, intelligent light system and Distronic Plus adaptive cruise control are available.
