Stuttgart. Mercedes-Benz is taking a big step into the future by numerous innovations with the new E-Class, including in terms of the design of the interior, which features a wide high-resolution next-generation dual display (12.3 inches per display) that appears to hover in space. In addition, touch-sensitive control buttons on the steering wheel make their first appearance in a car. They allow the driver to control the entire infotainment system using finger swipes without having to take their hands off the steering wheel. The all-new experience is rounded off by a novel, intelligent graphic design with high-resolution visualisations and animations as well as simplified control logic. At the same time, the occupants enjoy a sensual interior with spacious architecture and high-quality materials.

"With the interior of the new E-Class, we are giving a new interpretation to the concept of contemporary luxury," says Hartmut Sinkwitz, Head of Interior Design. "We have designed a spacious and intelligent interior. True to Mercedes-Benz's design philosophy of sensual purity, it employs technological innovation and high-grade equipment to create an exceptionally emotive experience for driver and front passenger. The E-Class thus not only sets a new standard in the business class. Alongside a workplace and private environment, it also becomes a "third place" – a living area in which passengers are able to enjoy contemporary luxury."
Wide dual display can be configured to suit personal preferences
The eye-catcher in the comfort-oriented, luxurious interior of the new E-Class is two displays each with a 31.2 cm (12.3-inch) screen diagonal and a resolution of 1920 x 720 pixels. These merge visually to form a wide-screen cockpit, thus acting as a central element to emphasise the horizontal bias of the interior design of the new E-Class. As the instrument cluster, this wide-screen cockpit contains a large display with virtual instruments in the direct field of vision of the driver as well as a central display above the centre console. A common glass cover results in a modern flat-screen look. The driver can choose between three different styles to select their preferred screen design for the wide-screen instrument cluster: "Classic", "Sport" and "Progressive".

The wide-screen instrument cluster is optionally available with COMAND Online. Instead, the entry-level model of the new E-Class combines two tube-type round dials and a 17.8 cm colour display cluster (1000 x 600-pixel resolution) with a central display with a 21.3 cm screen diagonal (960 x 540-pixel resolution). The round dials, instrument cluster and central display are installed in a single frame with a high-gloss piano-lacquer look.
The driver can adapt the content of the central display to suit their personal preferences. With the exception of the navigation map (which always fills the complete display area), the graphic content of the central display of COMAND Online is divided into a main area for informative graphics and animations (2/3 on the right side of the display) and a supplementary area (1/3 on the left side of the display).

The display can be backlit at night with multicolour ambience lighting – which then makes the wide-screen cockpit appear to float in space.
Touch control: finger swipes

In a further innovation, the new E-Class is the first ever car to integrate touch control buttons in the spokes of the multifunction steering wheel. Like the surface of a smartphone, the buttons are touch-sensitive and therefore respond precisely to horizontal and vertical finger swipes. This enables the driver to control every function of the infotainment system in the same simple, logical and intuitive manner as with a smartphone without having to take their hands off the steering wheel. Having selected the desired function with a swipe, the driver presses the appropriate touch control button to trigger the function. Another four buttons in each switch panel are provided with the familiar functions, such as for volume control and telephone control.

A further input option, familiar from the C-Class, is offered by the touchpad on the centre console. This, too, allows all functions to be controlled by single or multi-finger gestures (multitouch). The touchpad also permits letters, numbers and special characters to be entered in handwriting. Having recognised the handwritten characters, the system reads them out to enable blind operation without the driver having to divert their attention from what is happening on the road. A handrest detection feature makes for added operating safety while helping to prevent incorrect inputs. Three touch-sensitive buttons are arranged behind the touchpad and can be used to operate key functions quickly and directly (back function, switch to favourites menu, audio quick menu).

In addition to the touch control buttons and the touchpad, the driver can use the COMAND controller and LINGUATRONIC voice control to control the infotainment system. They can choose at any time which input method they prefer.

The new E-Class can also be controlled by direct buttons, such as for controlling the air-conditioning system or – in another first – for simple activation/deactivation of certain driver assistance systems.
In designing the control and display elements, the aim was not only to logically group the vehicle's controls and display functions in terms of form and content, but also to upgrade and emphasise them. Metallised switch surfaces and genuine-metal controls are used to special high-value effect. Thanks to finely textured, metallic-looking surfaces, some of them in a special finish, each individual control in the vehicle radiates an attention to detail in terms of both touch and sound.

New control experience

The goal in developing the all-new control and display concept was to closely unite intuitiveness of use with functionally expressive yet attractive design. The result is that passengers in the E-Class can enjoy a new control experience with high-resolution visualisations and animations. The developers have focused on the use of newly implemented presentation and display techniques to make it easier – i.e. more intuitive – for the driver to register and experience information. For example, animated displays are used to show the mode of action of assistance systems, or of DYNAMIC SELECT. The likewise animated ECO display in the instrument cluster helps the driver to adopt an economical driving style in an easily understandable manner.

The new look also comes with a novel, clearer menu structure that makes functions easier to select and which, in many cases, leads efficiently to the desired outcome in a manner appropriate to the situation. Ergonomics and intuitiveness of use were key criteria for the developers.

With user experience and connectivity ever more in the spotlight, Mercedes-Benz has set up two new departments to address the digital future: "Digital Graphic & Corporate Design" and "User Interaction". These centres are closely networked for designing the control and display concepts, i.e. the user interface, for current and future vehicles. This is because, alongside a workplace and private environment, the vehicle interior is increasingly becoming a "third place", a living area in which passengers wish to enjoy contemporary luxury. With the new department, Daimler is responding to the global trend of "Digital & Connected Life" and thus the rapid advance of digitalisation in all areas of life.

The interior as an expression of emotion and intelligence
With its design bias towards a sense of space, the interior of the new E-Class combines the elegance of the luxury class with the cultivated sportiness of the C‑Class. The design idiom of the new business saloon is characterised by an interplay of strong solid bodies with sculptural surfaces and an avant-garde clarity and extensiveness of control and display zones. This gives form to an expression of emotion & intelligence, a wholly unique, contrast-rich Mercedes-Benz design language that optimally reflects the design philosophy of "Sensual Purity".

The horizontal, low-lying trim part of the instrument panel with its elegantly sweeping form and flowing lines creates a visual sense of space with a formal calm. The wrap-around of the wave motion into the door linings provides a continuation of the horizontal emphasis on width with timeless sweeping forms. This is typical of the design of Mercedes-Benz saloons from the C-Class to the S-Class. Four circular air vents as in the S-Class make it additionally clear that the new E-Class is closely focused on the luxury segment.

Above the low-lying trim part is a formally coherent and separate solid body, which is forceful and sporty in appearance, as if the upper part of the instrument panel is floating in space. Free-standing yet successfully integrated, the wide-screen display stands in front of the upper part of the instrument panel. Ultra-flat and smoothly glazed across its entire area, the high-resolution screen is of a uniquely superior quality of manufacture. It lends the interior an avant-garde quality that forms a contrast between the cutting-edge design of state-of-the-art consumer electronics and the classically elegant automotive design of the passenger compartment. With its emotional design idiom on the one side and intelligent interior architecture as well as highly advanced control and display elements on the other, the interior of the new E-Class perfectly embodies the synthesis of the two opposite poles of emotion and intelligence.

Depending on the transmission variant, the new E-Class comes with two differently designed centre consoles. Models with automatic transmission have a straight-through centre console, with dynamically rising, sportily high connection to the cockpit, by a control panel in a "Black Panel" glass look. Other controls, such as in the doors, also feature the "Black Panel" look. Conversely, models with manual transmission are provided with a centre console in the form of two separate trim parts.
Intelligent material design

High-grade materials define the both sporty and elegant style of the interior. They include open-pore woods, wood in a yachting look with flowing lines as a contemporary interpretation of inlaid wood and a novel metal fabric. The use of authentic materials is continued in the leather-covered doors and the beltline for selected lines. Typical of Mercedes is the high-quality look and feel thanks to meticulous detail design and craftsmanship.

Just as carefully composed is the material/colour concept with various shades of brown, including new attractive colour combinations such as brown/macchiato and saddle brown/macchiato. This allows a personalised interior design.

Lighting atmosphere with 64 colours

The interior lighting makes exclusive use of durable, energy-saving LED technology. The same applies to the optionally available enhanced ambience lighting. With 64 colours, it offers a host of possibilities for personalisation. It adds touches of light, for example, to the trim parts, central display, front stowage facility on the centre console, handle recesses, door pockets, front and rear footwells, overhead console, mirror triangle and tweeters (if the vehicle is equipped with the Burmester® high-end 3D surround sound system).

Seat design: first class

A further highlight of the new E-Class is its seats, which create an ergonomic, sculptural impression with their torso form, uniting Mercedes-Benz's typical suitability for long journeys with a refined, sporty look. The seats are differently designed depending on the line:
Even the basic fabric version emphasises the luxurious ambience of the new E-Class.

The sporty bias and adapted contours of the seats for the AVANTGARDE line, the centre sections of which are transversely tacked, put the accent on sportiness with good lateral support and back-ventilation.
The newly developed seat for the AMG line impresses with a sportier form of the backrest with extremely sporty side bolsters and wide shoulder section for added lateral support.

The EXCLUSIVE line comes with longitudinally tacked centre sections, colour-matched to the overall seat sculpture in fabric/leather combination or nappa leather.

Also available is a diamond-patterned designo seat with perforations similar to an S-Class seat combined with the enhanced lateral support of the sports seat.

3D sound with concert hall experience

The Frontbass system in the new E-Class delivers a special listening experience as standard. It uses the space in the cross-member and side member of the body structure as a resonance chamber for the bass speakers. If the vehicle is additionally equipped with the optionally available Burmester® high-end 3D surround sound system, the occupants are treated to a listening experience reminiscent of the acoustics in a concert hall. This is because the new second-generation Burmester® high-end 3D surround sound system (the first generation is available for the S-Class) uses four roof speakers – two in the front of the roof and two in the rear. The effect: reflections, which come off the ceiling in a concert hall, are incorporated in the same authentic manner into the sound design of the E‑Class. By contrast, other 3D sound systems dispense with roof speakers and merely use appropriate algorithms to simulate a 3D sound.

Apart from 3D Surround, four other preset sound modes can be selected to suit every taste and audio source:

Pure: audiophile sound reproduction with no additional effects, for unadulterated musical enjoyment
Live: appealing, dynamic sound background akin to live music
Easy Listening: milder sound background for relaxed listening over longer periods

Re: Mercedes Benz Unveils E-Class Facelift

Surround: virtual surround sound

3D Surround: three-dimensional listening experience provided by the roof speakers
The technical specification of the Burmester® high-end 3D surround sound system employs 23 high-end speakers with diaphragms of glass-fibre fabric for high level stability, low weight and higher power. Specially developed for their task, the roof speakers are extremely small and flat and radiate sound in all directions. The speaker package includes a 25-litre bass box with its own 400 W amplifier in the boot, two woofer/mid-range speakers in the front doors as well as seven mid-range speakers and ring radiator tweeters of aluminium for precise sound resolution. The tweeters in the front mirror triangle not only fulfil their sound function, but are also fascinating design objects: when the sound system is turned on, they revolve out from the mirror triangle into the optimal radiation position. The ambience lighting also transforms them into a visual highlight. Two amplifiers with a total power of 1450 W drive all the speakers individually via separate channels and active crossovers.

A combination of digital and analogue amplifiers also contributes to the special listening experience. The analogue technology ensures a warm, round and full sound, while the digital technology uses a separate power supply to produce high peaks in order to enable a high dynamic between the quietest and loudest tones.

As in the S-Class, the sound can be optimally adjusted for every seat position using the so-called VIP setting.

The 2016 E Class thanks to official images have been leaked. It’s hard to say there are any surprises, as basically the model looks like a smaller S Class (or a bigger C Class).
The front end is dominated by a massive radiator grille, surrounded by a set of sweptback headlights. Two large air intakes are integrated in the front bumper, which also has a stylish lip-spoiler at the bottom.
At the back keen-eyed observers will notice a chrome bar between the sleek LED taillights, and dual exhaust system. The executive sedan is 193.8-inches long and has a noticeably low drag-coefficient of 0.23. At launch the 2016 E Class will be offered with a newly developed 2.0-liter diesel unit, pushing out 195 horsepower. This engine will be installed in the 220d version, which will return 60.3 miles per gallon (3.9 liters per 100 km) on average. Also available will be a 2.0-liter turbo petrol motor for the E200 model with yet undisclosed technical details.
Later on these will be joined by the E350e plug-in hybrid that will combine a 2.0 turbo with an electric motor for a total output of 279 hp. Two new diesel engines with 150 hp and 258 hp will also be introduced, while petrol range will also consists of engines with power ranging from 183 hp to 333 hp.

Mercedes Benz First new E-Class rolls off the production line in Sindelfingen

1194053_2494279_1024_576_16A188.jpg

Sindelfingen – At the Mercedes-Benz plant Sindelfingen (Germany) series production of the new E-Class has begun. “Around two million cars roll off the production lines at our Mercedes-Benz plants every year. Each of these vehicles represents something special – but this one is unique: it is the first model of the new E-Class. In front of us stands the world’s most intelligent business saloon, built by the world’s best employees. Intelligent, innovative, packed with high tech – and premium quality. We are confident that our customers around the world are going to be impressed,” stated Markus Schäfer, Member of the Divisional Board of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Production & Supply Chain Management.

The new E-Class has a unique tradition. With a total of over 13 million E-Class Saloons and Estates sold, the E-Class is the best-selling vehicle in Mercedes-Benz history. To mark the official start of production, Mercedes-Benz gathered examples of the nine predecessor model series at the finishing line of the business saloon in Sindelfingen. “The start of series production in our 101st year continues the Sindelfingen success story,” stated Michael Bauer, Site Manager of the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen plant. “The E-Class stands for everything that makes our plant the competence center for upper range and luxury-class vehicles: tradition, innovation and the drive to set standards among the world’s best.”

Innovative digital technologies pave the way for series production

The new E-Class delivers stylish highlights with its distinct, emotive design and high-grade, exclusive interior. It also marks the world premiere of numerous technical innovations. They enable comfortable, safe driving on a new level plus a new dimension in driver assistance – among other things.
The vehicle comes complete with infotainment and control systems offering an all-new experience. Highlights of the optional Driver Assistance package that make the E-Class the most intelligent saloon in its class include the DRIVE PILOT: this system represents Mercedes-Benz’ next step along the road to autonomous driving. As Distance Pilot DISTRONIC on motorways and country roads, it is not only able to keep the correct distance to vehicles in front automatically, for the first time it can also follow them at a speed of up to 210 km/h. This can make life easier for the driver, who no longer needs to operate the brake or accelerator pedal during normal driving and also receives plenty of effective steering assistance from the Steering Pilot – even on moderate bends. Another unique feature at speeds up to 130 km/h is the fact that, like in a swarm, the system can continue to intervene actively by taking account of surrounding vehicles and parallel structures, even if the lines are unclear or non-existent, like at road works. The system therefore makes driving much easier, especially in traffic jams or heavy congestion.

But it is not just in the vehicle itself that Mercedes-Benz makes use of innovative digital technologies. They are already used in an earlier stage of the product development and ensure an efficient production. For example, the production planning and scheduling team created a digital process chain which simulated the production process from the press plant to final assembly. For assembly alone, around 4,000 individual processes are examined for technical feasibility long before series production commences.

One particularly noteworthy aspect here is virtual assembly: in a room equipped with special cameras, experienced employees fit virtual components to a digitally simulated vehicle. Carrying out this kind of testing with the avatar allows the team to assess how to best implement work processes long before actual production begins. In this respect, too, the latest E-Class is setting new standards.

Parade of automotive innovation champions to mark the start of series production

The plant marked the start of series production of its core product with an impressive parade of automotive innovation champions. The line-up featured one of each of the nine predecessor model series:

The 170 V model, the “original E-Class,” was the first post-war car from Mercedes-Benz: solid, comfortable and spacious.

The Mercedes-Benz 180 “Ponton” launched a new era as the first vehicle with a unibody construction and reduced drag and consumption with its ultra-modern all-enveloping bodywork.

The “Fintail” owed its name to its distinctive exterior. Mercedes-Benz fitted it with ground-breaking safety features developed by Béla Barényi, including the rigid passenger cell with crumple zones at the front and rear.

The “Stroke 8” was introduced in 1968, and with production figures topping 1.8 million models, it became the star brand’s first million seller. For the first time a coupé was introduced alongside the saloon. Further variety was added with the introduction of the world’s first five-cylinder diesel engine to feature in a series-produced car.

From 1976, the 123 model series offered even more variety with a broad engine line-up and the first factory-produced estate model. This model series was the most successful of the E-Class’ predecessors: around 2.7 million models were built.

Model series 124, introduced in 1984, was a pioneer in a whole range of respects: it had the first controlled three-way catalytic converter, a lightweight and aerodynamic construction which optimised consumption and performance, and innovative safety features such as the new independent multi-link suspension.

Customers of the mid-size model series, launched in 1995, benefited as standard from a design which won the “red dot” award with its twin-headlamp face, but also from a wealth of technical highlights such as the Electronic Traction System ETS, belt force limiters and, from 1999, the driving safety system ESP®.

In the following generation of the E-Class, innovations were introduced to further enhance safety and ride comfort, including adaptive front airbags and Sensotronic Brake Control for significantly shorter stopping distances. Natural gas drive was also introduced into series production, as was the clean BlueTEC diesel technology.

Leading the way in its segment in terms of safety, comfort and environmental compatibility, the 2009 E-Class featured a 30 percent more rigid body, new adaptive suspension and a unique combination of driver assistance systems, for example Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and Night View Assist.

Friends,

Mercedes-AMG unveils next generation of the E 63 4MATIC+ and E 63 S 4MATIC+

Mercedes-AMG is redefining the performance saloon. The brand is turning the most intelligent executive saloon into the most powerful E-Class of all time in the shape of the next generation of the E 63 4MATIC+ and E 63 S 4MATIC+. Mercedes-AMG is also setting new benchmarks in this market segment with its innovative technologies. The intelligent drive strategy raises the limits of the performance saloon's vehicle dynamics to a completely new level. Delivering superior acceleration, the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine generates up to 450 kW (612 hp). This makes it the most powerful engine to have ever been installed in an E-Class. At the same time it is even more efficient thanks to a cylinder deactivation system fitted as standard, and thus sets the benchmark in its segment. With acceleration of 3.4 seconds from 0 – 100 km/h the new business limousine is at the top of its class. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT (Multi Clutch Technology) nine-speed sports transmission is combined with a wet start-off clutch for the first time. This enabled more agile response times to be achieved. Another highlight is the completely new AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system. It combines the advantages of various drive configurations. Torque distribution on the front and rear axles, which until now was strongly rear-biased, is fully variable for the first time. This ensures optimum traction right up to the physical limit, whatever the road conditions. The expressive exterior design, featuring a new radiator grille and coupé-style inset bonnet, underlines the performance figures. The next generation of the E 63 thus offers a completely new level of sportiness and comfort on long journeys.

Mercedes-Benz E-class facelift revealed with new engines and tech

?n=http%3a%2f%2fcdni.autocarindia.com%2fExtraImages%2f20200303024728_2020-Mercedes-E-class-fron1.jpg


Mercedes-Benz has given the fifth-generation E-class a refresh, with revised styling, new electrified engines and more interior comfort and technology, in a bid to take the fight to the BMW 5 Series and the Audi A6.

?n=http%3a%2f%2fcdni.autocarindia.com%2fExtraImages%2f20200303024728_2020-Mercedes-E-class-rear1.jpg


The current version of the long-running model was revealed back in 2016, and for this facelift, the sedan and estate versions have received subtle styling tweaks. These include new-look front and rear lights and bumpers and a grille that features a three-pointed star as standard. Cars in top-spec AMG Performance trim gain extra design revisions to bring their styling closer to that of Mercedes-AMG models such as the newly introduced E53. The rugged All-Terrain estate version has received more changes that tighten the visual links between it and Mercedes’ SUVs.

?n=http%3a%2f%2fcdni.autocarindia.com%2fExtraImages%2f20200303024739_2020-Mercedes-E-class-front.jpg


While the exterior changes are minor, Mercedes has extensively reworked the E-class’s electronics, allowing the firm to offer a host of new driver assistance systems, ‘energising’ comfort seats and its latest infotainment technology. The E-class globally now comes as standard with two 10.25-inch screens, for the MBUX infotainment and instrumentation, with 12.3-inch screens optional. A new steering wheel design, which features capacitive touch controls, is offered in three varieties and is set to be introduced across the range.

Honestly Sir, this is by far the weirdest facelift across E-Class Generations. E-Class boasted of an elegant design and this one doesn't even look like an E-Class. The front is outright disappointing compared to present E-Class and the Rear has lost the character. What made MB choose this new design for something as beautiful as an E-Class? I for one found this absolutely watered down as far as design is concerned. Mercedes Benz is known for timeless designs be it their earlier generations or even the present C,E &S. I fail to understand why these BMW & MBIL are overdoing and overthinking on their designs. BMW has gone on increasing the kidney grill size so much so that many of their present cars look odd and now with E-Class MB has taken it a step ahead by (simply said) ruining a wonderful car with this design. I have my doubts if the E-Class Owners and Enthusiasts would easily approve of this design. Expected a lot more from a capable brand like Mercedes Benz.
