New E-Class arrives on our shores
In a few days’ time, the new Mercedes Benz E-class will be launched here. With much focus on safety in this version, consumers can expect an array of new technology and more bang for their buck.
Fitted with Mercedes’ Pre-Safe and Neck-Pro systems as standard, the new E-class also features Adaptive Brake Lights, which flashes a red warning light, instead of the normal brake lights, during emergency braking situations. This significantly decreases the chances of a rear-end collision as their research shows other drivers being able to respond by braking 0.2 seconds earlier, resulting in a shorter braking distance of 4.4 metres when traveling at 80 km/h, and as much as 5.5 metres whilst at 100 km/h.
Meanwhile, the most relevant model here, the E200 Kompressor, has been re-worked to produce 12.5% more horsepower, boosting it up to 184 HP. The torque has also been increased by 10 Nm to achieve a peak of 250 Nm between 3500 – 4000 rpm. The result is a sprint from 0-100 km/h in 9.1 seconds, while maintaining a healthy level of consumption at 8.2-8.8 litres/100 km.
Prices start at $179,888 for the E200 and $217,888 for the E280. You can also get the sports car devouring E63 AMG, but then the price won’t be as relevant anymore, would it?
