2010 Mercedes E-Class

Mercedes took the wraps of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class in a private event in Detroit. While the new E will not make its public debut until March at the Geneva Motor Show, which were partly in Motown to get the details directly from the company that Karl Benz built. Depending on spec, the new E-class will feature either twin foglamps or angular LEDs, trapezoidal or oval exhaust tips and a host of wheel options. The overall length has been stretched by half an inch to just under 16 feet, while the width has grown by 1.26 inches, the wheelbase is up 0.8-inches and height is half-an-inch taller than the outgoing model. Torsional rigidity is up 30% and the new E is more aerodynamic even with the 11 standard airbags.

The 2010 model shows considerable promise interior, with an interior that is the C-Class and GLK angle of aesthetics, and attempts to bring more of the vault like Benz feel that it was known in the past. The transmission selector can be had on either the console or the steering column, ala S-class, with the COMAND controller placed on the center divider and some of the seat controls moving to the sides, next to the transmission tunnel.

The new E has sufficient equipment to calm even the most tired CES attendees, starting with a new standard called Attention Assist that tracks the steering angle and alert the driver if they're get sleepy, an audible warning and a coffee-cup icon in the dash. Lane departure warning is optional, along with high adaptive high-beam headlights when traffic is approaching, radar-based cruised control, blind-spot monitoring and infrared night vision.
