The new seventh generation E-class from Mercedes-Benz is the bestselling mid-size luxury sedan. The saga of E-class is almost five decades old which started in 1953 and went on to become the highest selling imported luxury car in the United States.

Mercedes-Benz has set a benchmark in engine and structural technology. The Mercedes Benz E-Series gets a 7-speed automatic transmission as standard. The engines are quick and smooth.

The E-Class sedan has a smooth suspension that glides over uneven terrain due to the front four-link suspension with McPherson Struts, an anti-dive stabiliser, and gas dampers.

The tyres look glued due to the cars planted ground clearance. The four headlamps give the Benz a more edgy look. The engineering of the car is a true blend of technology and style. The body of the car is a combination of steel and aluminium that makes the car lighter, and a composite of glass fibre and plastic. The E350 is claimed to be the toughest of the lot made ever.

The E-Class's cabin epitomises world class luxury. The E350 has beige interiors that have shades of brown. The upright dashboards, well placed and easy to use controls of the car, COMAND, a single knob scroll through on-screen menus, separate displays for Parktronics and trip computer, fully powered electric lumbar support seats, parking sensors, and paddleshift are just a few of the many enchanting features of the new E-Class. The backseat offers comfortable seating for three adults. However, tall passengers may fall short of thigh room and leg room.

The new E-Class is equipped with all the latest technology of safety features and that one that needs the most attention is the Attention Assist system which detects and warns a sleepy driver. With more airbags, the standard features of the new Benz include central locking, anti-lock braking system, engine immobilizer, remote keyless entry, child-safety door locks, seatbelts, collapsible steering, and well-placed crumple zones.
