  • New-generation engines

    Revolutions per millisecond

    Two advanced Direct Injection engines, a 3.5L V-6 in the E350 and a 4.6L biturbo V-8 in the E550, operate with exceptional speed and precision. They can fire their spark plugs up to four times, and finely tune their fuel spray, all within a single millisecond. Quicker, leaner and cleaner all at once, they create a torrent of power and torque with only a trickle of emissions.

    Confident in any season, control in every curve

    The year-round handling confidence of 4MATIC™ all-wheel drive is now optional on the E350 Coupe. 4MATIC integrates our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS), to continually redistribute the engine's torque to the wheels with the best grip, even if that´s only one wheel. And with a 45:55 front/rear torque split, the lightweight and compact 4MATIC system enhances handling and dry roads, too.  (Disclaimer)

    No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.

  • Adaptive braking technology

    Stops smarter, makes stop-and-go easier

    Lift off the accelerator quickly and Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs, for more immediate response when you hit the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying gently applies the brakes periodically, to sweep away water build-up. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a HOLD feature lets you keep the brakes applied with your foot off the pedal, for added comfort in stop-and-go traffic.  (Disclaimer)

    Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.

Blind Spot Assist

At speeds above approximately 20 mph, if radar sensors in the rear bumper detect a vehicle in the "blind spot" area to either side, an indicator lights up in the appropriate side mirror. If you activate a turn signal while a vehicle is detected, a warning sounds. And if you disregard the alerts and begin changing lanes, available active technology can apply the brake to a single rear wheel, to help guide the car back into its lane.

7-speed automatic transmission

A wide range of closely spaced gear ratios delivers the ideal response for virtually every driving situation, for smooth cruising, quick acceleration, and thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency.
