Also standard is the MBUX infotainment system with linguatronic voice control and augmented reality satellite navigation, interior assistant, energizing comfort control and energizing seat kinetics.

 

Safety gets a boost with the new E-Class featuring active distance assist distronic with route-based speed adjustment, active stop-and-go assist, active steering assist, active brake assist, as well as a parking package which works with the 360-degree camera.

 

Mercedes-Benz will offer the E-Class with petrol and diesel engines with plug-in hybrid options. New to the range though is the ‘M254’ 200kW 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with mild hybrid technology that offers an extra 15kW and 180Nm for short bursts.
