It commands 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of peak torque to keep your adrenaline flowing. Continuously variable timing on both the intake and exhaust valves coupled with a dual-stage intake manifold helps the DOHC V-6 provide 100% of its peak torque from 2,400–5,000 rpm, ensuring immediate response with every throttle input. BlueTEC clean diesel technology The breakthrough powerplant in the E 320 BlueTEC reduces soot and emissions from prior diesels — without sacrificing power. An oxidation catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter efficiently lower hydrocarbon and particulate emissions, and Selective Catalytic Reduction and DeNOx catalytic converters reduce nitrogen oxides.14 The result is simply the cleanest production diesel engine available.13 5.5-liter V-8 engine One of our most advanced engines generates 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, with an amazing 75% of peak torque available at just 1,000 rpm. To help reduce engine weight and increase durability, the engine block is made of cast aluminum with a solid bedplate, an ideal construction for performance and durability. Indeed, the engine’s smooth, immediate power delivery whisks the E 550 from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds.2 Please see page 49 for Endnotes. 7-speed automatic transmission The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only car in its class to have a 7-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. A wide range of closely spaced gears delivers the ideal gear ratio for virtually every driving condition, which means smoother cruising and immediate response for acceleration and passing, and even improved fuel efficiency on the highway. Clearly, our passion for advanced engineering isn’t limited to our engines. (Not available on vehicles with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.) 7-speed automatic transmission with AMG SPEEDSHIFT™ Harness the phenomenal force of the E 63 AMG to the highest degree possible. Change gears rapidly using the AMG aluminum shift paddles on the steering wheel. Then choose any of three settings (S for Sport, C for Comfort and M for Manual) custom-tailored to the performance attributes of the AMG V-8 as well as whatever driving mood you’re in. AMG 6.3-liter V-8 engine The most powerful naturally aspirated V-8 in our lineup has been mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission with AMG SPEEDSHIFT for ready access to that enormous strength. Feel a rush of euphoria as the engine develops a massive 507 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque to propel the E 63 AMG from 0 to 60 in just 4.3 seconds.2 And like all AMG engines, each is hand-built and signed by a single master technician. Power 32 | 33 Agility Brakes  l The E-Class’s internally ventilated disc brakes15 deliver powerful, nearly fade-free stopping control. They also come equipped with Predictive Brake Priming. This dynamic feature sets the brake pads closer to the discs when the driver quickly releases the accelerator, for faster brake response. One of many other features is Brake Drying, which helps increase stopping performance in wet conditions by intermittently (and imperceptibly) pressing the brake pads against the rotors when the windshield wipers are in use in order to remove water on the rotors.3 Standard all models. 4matic all-wheel drive with 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS)  l   0 Whatever the season or road condition, 4matic all-wheel drive can provide an extra measure of confidence and control when you need it — or can enjoy it — most. Standard equipment on the E 350 Wagon and available on most E-Class models, 4matic raises traction in your E-Class to the power of four, putting every wheel to work for you and optimizing the available grip. Whether you’re heading to the mountains for a weekend of skiing or merely enjoying the delights of your favorite two-lane highway, 4matic can make a difference that you’ll appreciate any time — and every time — you get behind the wheel. The 4matic system is fully automatic: it’s always engaged and sending torque to every wheel. And 4matic is integrated with our standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), which maximizes the effectiveness of 4matic in corners and in wet or slippery conditions. To help ensure that the driving power translates into control, 4matic incorporates our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System. 4-ETS monitors each wheel for the first sign of wheel slip to maintain the balance of power and, if necessary, reduce excess torque. By continually ensuring that power goes to the wheels with grip, 4matic can help get the vehicle moving — even if only one wheel has traction.4 Standard E 350 Wagon. Optional E 350 and E 550 Sedans. Not available E 320 BlueTEC and E 63 AMG. Multilink suspension  l The E-Class uses a 4-wheel multilink suspension16 for exceptional poise and control, even under severe braking. The 5-arm rear multilink design — a Mercedes-Benz innovation — controls rearwheel movement with outstanding precision. For more dynamic handling, the front axle assembly, front suspension and steering gear are all preassembled along with the engine and transmission on an extraordinarily rigid steel subframe. The use of lightweight/high-strength aluminum suspension components helps reduce unsprung weight and improve handling. Standard all models. Airmatic Semi-Active Suspension  l 0 For a balanced, comfortable ride, the Airmatic system employs electronically controlled air springs that adjust to changing driving conditions. The system also lowers the ride height at higher speeds for improved aerodynamics. To help compensate for additional cargo or passenger weight, Airmatic automatically levels the vehicle. Standard E 550 Sport Sedan and E 63 AMG. Not available E 350 Sedan, E 350 Wagon and E 320 BlueTEC. Adaptive Damping System (ADS-II)  l 0 Part of the Airmatic Semi-Active Suspension, found on V-8 models, our Adaptive Damping System lets you tailor your driving experience with three selectable driving modes — two for Sport and one for Comfort — at the touch of a button. ADS-II continually optimizes ride and handling by individually adjusting each wheel’s shock-absorption rate every time the wheel changes its direction of up-down travel.

Our safety philosophy takes a proactive approach to many aspects of driving safety: active safety systems, such as the Electronic Stability Program and Brake Assist, help you avoid a potentially dangerous situation; PRE-SAFE enables the vehicle to anticipate and make adjustments to prepare for certain potential collisions; passive safety features include air bags and seat-belt tensioners; and post-collision features like automatic engine cutoff are designed to reduce the risk to occupants in the immediate aftermath of an accident, help prevent worsening of the situation and facilitate rapid assistance by rescue workers. No other automaker has a more complete view of safety than the one that invented crumple zones and other safety advancements. PRE-SAFE® l Mercedes-Benz originated this landmark system, and it’s still the only manufacturer to offer it standard. PRE-SAFE acts decisively to prepare for a possible accident. PRE-SAFE uses sensors from two of the active safety systems already inside the vehicle: Brake Assist and our Electronic Stability Program (ESP®). If system sensors detect certain vehicle movements that indicate an accident is possible, PRE-SAFE takes action to help protect the vehicle’s occupants. Electric tensioners tighten the seat belts of the front-seat occupants. PRE-SAFE adjusts the occupied front passenger’s seat to a more favorable position for air-bag and seat-belt effectiveness. In the event of severe skidding, which indicates that a rollover is likely, PRE-SAFE will close the sunroof7 and windows.8 If no accident occurs, the tensioners loosen and you simply readjust your seat, open the sunroof and continue on your way. Standard all models. Protection Brake Assist (BAS)  l Research has shown that drivers rarely apply the brakes hard enough, soon enough during an emergency situation. BAS monitors pedal application speed to sense emergency braking and, in such cases, can deliver maximum stopping power.3 Standard all models. Electronic Stability Program (ESP® )  l This advance continually monitors your vehicle’s motion to help keep you going in your intended direction. If it detects wheelspin, severe understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing), ESP can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle under control.4 Mercedes-Benz pioneered this safety landmark in 1995 and has continued to refine its exacting performance ever since. Standard all models. Integrated Restraint System  l Our 8-air-bag system offers 10-way protection, including dual-stage front air bags, front- and 2nd-row side-impact air bags and full-length Window Curtain Air Bags along the sides of the vehicle. (E 350 Wagon Window Curtain Air Bags extend only to the 2nd row.) With properly worn seat belts, Window Curtain Air Bags help protect outboard occupants from head injury and broken glass in certain side impacts or rollovers that exceed the deployment threshold.17 Standard all models. Body structure  l A range of precision safety elements work together to protect you and your passengers in the event of a collision. While High-Strength/Low-Alloy steel in important areas of the vehicle helps to form an exceptionally rigid structure, advanced front and rear crumple zones deform progressively to help absorb the energy of an impact. A front bulkhead also helps channel some of the forces of a frontal impact under, over and around the cabin. Standard all models. Active Front Head Restraints  l In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, the Active Front Head Restraints move forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head restraint and the front-seat occupants’ heads. This action helps limit the rearward travel of their heads, thus reducing the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries. Standard all models. Seat belts  l Equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt force limiters,18 seat belts are arguably our most important passive safety feature. If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, the ETDs instantly remove slack from the seat belts. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount of give in the seat belts and reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant. Standard all models.

Panorama Sunroof   0 A large dual-panel glass Panorama Sunroof provides both front- and rear-seat passengers with a view of the sky. The front panel can either tilt open or slide over the rear panel to open completely. And if you feel like limiting the amount of sunlight coming in, independently operated interior power sunshades cover both glass roof panels. Optional all E-Class Sedans. Not available E 350 Wagon. Dual-zone climate control  l 0 Both the driver and front-seat passenger can select his or her own level of heating or cooling, thanks to individual controls for each on the dashboard. An advanced electrostatic dust and pollen filter helps clean incoming air and a humidity/dewpoint sensor reduces window fogging in damp weather. Standard E 350 Sedan, E 350 Wagon and E 320 BlueTEC. Not available E 550 Sport Sedan and E 63 AMG. Distronic Adaptive Cruise Control   0 Available on the E 63 AMG, this radar-based system monitors the vehicle ahead and adjusts your speed to help maintain your chosen following distance.30 If the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or abruptly stops and calculated closing speed indicates that you haven’t taken appropriate braking action, the system illuminates a red light in the instrument cluster, sounds an alarm signal and applies up to 20% of the vehicle’s braking power to slow your vehicle to a stop.31 Ideal for long journeys, as there is less need to adjust the cruise control setting. Optional E 63 AMG. Not available all other models. 4-zone climate control  l 0 Here, four individual temperature and airflow controls treat the driver, front and rear passengers to all the features of the dual-zone climate control system plus rear-cabin air vents in the center console and adjacent to the rear doors. When set to the Auto position, the system monitors sunlight intensity and seat occupancy to determine which side of the car requires greater cooling, and adjusts the temperature and airflow accordingly. Standard E 550 Sport Sedan and E 63 AMG. Not available E 350 Sedan, E 350 Wagon and E 320 BlueTEC. Power rear sunshade   0 The optional power rear sunshade is a very helpful feature of all E-Class Sedans.

Optional all E-Class Sedans. Not available E 350 Wagon. Heated seats  l   For added convenience and year-round comfort, heated front seats are available.

Heated and Active Ventilated Seats   0 In addition to staying toasty inside when it’s cold outside with heated seats, enjoy the extra benefits of Active Ventilated Seats. These are designed to keep you cool during warmer months by gently circulating air through perforations in the seat and backrest, which also helps eliminate perspiration buildup. Using the ventilation and heating features simultaneously can even help keep you warm and dry on cold and rainy days. Optional E 550 Sport Sedan and E 63 AMG.

Please see your service station for further information. If the B5 bio diesel blend does not clearly indicate that it meets the above standards, please do not use it. The Mercedes-Benz limited warranty does not cover damage caused by non-Mercedes-Benz-approved fuel standards. 15 The E 320 BlueTEC uses solid rear disc brakes. 16 Rear-wheel-drive models use a 4-link front suspension. 4MATIC models use a double wishbone front suspension. 17 WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13.
