The all new 2010 Mercedes Benz E Class is here. Although, I’m a die-hard BMW fanatic, I felt this was an achievement for the German brothers, and a little ‘kiss-n-tell’ won’t do much harm. The car promises to do a lot of things, including lifting old designs – headlights of the old Lexus LX470 and tail lights of Sonata Embera – and they could have done a grill similar to the new C Class – something about the robust logo that’s just so responsibly seductive and sexy.
The car promises state of the art features, and technologically ahead-of-it’s-time engineering with much stress laid on aerodynamics.
Some of the high tech features included are:
1. Attention Assist: detects driver drowsiness based on 70 parameters.
2. Adaptive Main Beam Assist: adjusts the angle of the headlight for the best possible illumination without blinding other motorists.
3. LED daytime driving lights: use less power and enhance aesthetics.
4. Blind Spot Assist: similar to the S-Class.
5. Lane Keeping Assist: uses vibrations in the steering wheel to inform the driver if they’re veering out of their lane.
6. Speed Limit Assist (optional): recognizes speed limit signs as the car passes them, then displays the relevant speed limit in the speedometer.
Here’s a television commercial of the all new E Class.
Even though the new model is way ahead of its predecessor in all aspects, it lacks the zeal and luster of the brand.
