2014 E-350 / Sport Sedan



Latest and the greatest from Mercedes-Benz; 2014 E-class.
New technology that will help us be a better drivers (not that we are not great, but we are going to be just a bit better) and we are going to do that in style. Those of us that own a television set probably saw advertisement for E-class where MB is showcasing it's stereoscopic cameras who "survey the road ahead" and act/stop the car in critical situation (pedestrian recognition)...and like the ad said; " technology might be hard to imagine...but why would you wont it....is not"

Greatest piece of technology is; Distronic Plus with steering assist, cross traffic assist & pre-safe break with pedestrian recognition....I highly advise you to watch these video links, for the sake of understanding what is so great about this technology, and how it actually help us. O yes, technology that I just mentioned, is exclusive for E-class for right now.....until new 2014 S-class rolls out in Sep/Oct.

Second part of the greatness is the revised styling of the E-class. This is the first time that E-class is available with the MB star integrated in the grill, and a good news for the ones that prefer classical look of MB is that hood ornament is available in Luxury styling version of 2014 E-class. Besides the star placement, other two changes are considered major in respect to E-class; no more double headlights, and no more five gauge instrument cluster (three gauge from 2014, style was taken from C-class). Other changes are minor and not worth taking picture off.

Diesel lovers have a news; 6-cylinder turbo diesel is being replaced with 4-cylinder twin-turbo diesel. Power goes down from 210 to 190 and torque form 395 to 369.........but.....but.....fuel economy shoots up. Official numbers are not out yet, but rumor is highway mileage is suppose to be 40mpg. Wow. This part will cheer you up.

IN SHORT; new exciting new styling on the outside, with the new diesel 4 cyl engine., and state of the art safety technology that can make you feel you are better driver than you actually are :-)
