E350 Sedan

E400 HYBRID Sedan

E550 4MATIC Sedan
 

18-inch twin 5-spoke wheels (Sport)

Five sets of twin spokes add an aura of muscular motion to the standard 18-inch wheels of the E350 Sport Sedan. They feature a gleaming silver finish and come fitted with all-season tires.

HD Radio™ receiver

Delivering remarkably clear audio that gives AM stations the crispness of FM radio, and FM stations CD-grade sound, HD Radio® also offers a larger bandwidth that can actually increase the number of stations available to you.

NECK-PRO® active front head restraints

In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, NECK-PRO front head restraints move forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head restraints and the heads of front-seat occupants. This action helps to reduce the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.

ATTENTION ASSIST® driver-drowsiness monitor

The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST continuously monitors different parameters of driving behavior, and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. New enhancements to the system in the 2014 E-Class help detect drivers who begin their trip drowsy, offer more useful information to drivers along their journey via a new dashboard display, and can even help locate a nearby rest area using the available navigation system.

7-speed automatic transmission

The industry's first 7-speed automatic has been made even smoother, more responsive and more efficient. A wide range of closely spaced gear ratios delivers the ideal response in virtually every driving situation, for relaxed cruising, quick acceleration, and thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency. Adaptive logic monitors your driving style and adjusts its shift points to match, while standard paddle shifters offer manual-style enjoyment anytime you want it.

NECK-PRO active front head restraints

Power-adjust for height, manually adjust fore-aft, and automatically height-adjust as seat is moved fore-aft.

11-way air bag protection

An advanced system of 9 air bags offers 11-way occupant protection. Dual two-stage front air bags, front side-impact air bags, front pelvic air bags, a driver's knee air bag, and window curtain air bags for both seating rows are standard. Rear side-impact air bags are optional.

Black Ash wood trim

With its rich, deep tones, hand-polished Black Ash wood adorns the console, dash and doors to create a dramatically modern, seriously sporty cockpit ambience. It's one of three no-charge wood choices for the E-Class Sedans.

Burl Walnut wood trim

Hand-polished Burl Walnut wood, prized for its rich color and distinctive grain patterns, graces the console, dash and doors, lending the cockpit a further air of refinement. It's one of three no-charge wood choices for the E-Class Sedans.

Lighting Package

Full-LED headlamps with Active Curve Illumination Adaptive Highbeam Assist LED front turn indicators Headlamp washing system Corner-illuminating front lamps

LED Daytime Running Lamps

Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps help increase the visibility of your vehicle to oncoming traffic by illuminating front lights whenever the car is switched on. With long life and low energy consumption, the light-emitting diode (LED) lamps also add a distinctive high-tech styling touch.

Shift paddles

A pair of paddles strategically positioned behind the upper steering-wheel spokes allows you to manually upshift and downshift the 7-speed automatic transmission with just a flick of your fingers.

SiriusXM Radio, Traffic and Weather

SiriusXM Radio offers 130+ channels of premium digital entertainment, from news, talk and sports to commercial-free music from every genre. Enjoy live broadcasts of the biggest NFL®, NCAA®, NHL® and NBA® teams, plus 150+ college sports teams. While you listen, SiriusXM Traffic keeps you up to date on accidents, traffic, construction and road closures, and even helps your vehicle's navigation system find the fastest route based on real-time traffic. And SiriusXM Weather delivers detailed, graphical weather reports and forecasts.

LED taillamps

Redesigned taillamps employ LED technology for every function, and with distinctive form. Brighter than traditional incandescent bulbs, LED technology also delivers quicker illumination of the brake lamps. By offering drivers behind you more time to react, this could make a critical difference in a panic stop.

Media Interface

The Media Interface turns your Mercedes-Benz into an extension of your iPod, compatible MP3 player or similar device. Browse, select and play your music via the vehicle's standard audio controls on the console, dash and steering wheel.

Premium 1 Package

Premium luxuries you'll soon consider must-haves:

• Hard-drive-based navigation with 10GB Music Register
• harman/kardon LOGIC7® surround-sound system with Dolby Digital 5.1
• Gracenote® media database
•MP3 Media Interface
• SiriusXM Satellite Radio with SiriusXM Traffic and Weather
• Enhanced Voice Control for audio, telephone and navigation
• Heated front seats
• Power rear window sunshade
• Rear view camera

Brown Satin Ash wood trim (Sport or Luxury)

With an open-pore finish that reveals its rich natural grain, Brown Satin Ash wood is hand-finished to a modern low sheen. It's available at no charge on any E-Class Sedan.

PRE-SAFE® Brake and PRE-SAFE PLUS

An enhancement to the groundbreaking PRE-SAFE system helps protect the occupants in a rear-end collision. A radar sensor in the rear bumper helps detect an impending impact, engaging the features of PRE-SAFE to better prepare the front-seat occupants and their restraint systems. It can also increase brake pressure, to help reduce peak loads on all occupants as well as the risk of a secondary collision.

KEYLESS-GO Package

KEYLESS-GOHANDS-FREE ACCESSElectronic trunk closer

Full-LED headlamps with Active Curve Illumination

The world's first all-LED active headlamps generate light that's even closer to natural daylight than the standard Bi-Xenon headlamps. Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps express the legendary four-lamp face of the E-Class in a decidedly modern style that is unmistakable, even at a glance. They also include Active Curve Illumination, Adaptive Highbeam Assist and corner-illuminating front lamps.

Split-folding rear seats

Individually folding rear seatbacks allow you to expand the cargo capacity of your E-Class Sedan while still carrying a rear passenger. The release handles are in the trunk, so they're conveniently located where you'll need them, and can be kept out of reach simply by valet-locking the trunk.

Sport body styling and interior trim (Sport)

Distinctive wheels and body detailing set apart the E-Class Sport Sedans. Up front, a bold 3-bar grille and standard LED Daytime Running Lamps present an aggressively sporty first impression. The sport-tuned suspension gives it a confident stance, set off by expressive sculpting of its bumpers and side sills. Inside the cabin, countless details from its instrumentation to its trim choices express its more performance-focused character.

LED headlamps

With longer life, quicker illumination and beams that approximate daylight even more closely than Bi-Xenon headlamps, the new standard LED headlamps enhance both vision and visibility during nighttime driving. Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps express the legendary four-lamp face of the E-Class in a decidedly modern style that is unmistakable, even at a glance. And with all front light functions integrated within the flowing sculpture of the headlamp assemblies, the design is as appealing as it is illuminating.

Heated and Active Ventilated front seats

Heated and Active Ventilated seats are a luxury you'll soon consider a necessity. Three levels of heating and cooling ventilation are offered. By gently circulating air through perforations in the seat and backrest, Active Ventilated seats help keep you cooler and your clothes dryer during warmer months. On cold or damp days, using both the ventilation and heating features together can circulate the seat heating more quickly, to help keep you warm and dry.

ATTENTION ASSIST

The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST continuously monitors different parameters of driving behavior, and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips.

MB-Tex upholstery

MB-Tex upholstery offers a rich appearance and supple leather-like feel, even in cold weather. It also offers legendary durability and easy care.

Active multicontour driver seat with massage

The optional active multicontour driver seat features adjustable lumbar supports, side bolsters and shoulder supports, for custom-tailored support. A massage feature helps prevent fatigue on longer drives. Active side bolsters can be set to automatically increase lateral support in cornering maneuvers, or even in the event of a potential accident.

Electronic trunk closer

For added convenience in the rain or with an armful of packages, you can fully open and close the trunk via a switch on the driver's interior door panel or a button on the SmartKey remote. Press a button on the underside of the trunk lid and it powers itself closed. A sensor automatically stops the lid if it detects an obstruction.

COMAND system with central controller and 7-inch LCD screen

Featuring a 7-inch high-resolution color-LCD display and a central controller on the console, the Cockpit Management and Data (COMAND) system gives you convenient control of audio, video, hands-free calling and optional navigation functions. Many features can also be accessed via the integrated steering-wheel controls.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)

This safety breakthrough first introduced by Mercedes-Benz continually monitors your driving inputs and the vehicle's motion to help keep it going in your intended direction, especially in corners and during evasive maneuvers. 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.

HOLD braking feature

A HOLD braking feature can make long red lights or stopped traffic a little easier.

Wheel Package

Style and substance, inside and out:

• 18-inch AMG twin 5-spoke wheels with all-season tires
• 3-spoke sport steering wheel

PRE-SAFE

A Mercedes-Benz first, PRE-SAFE can detect instability during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front passenger seat, and close the windows and sunroof — all in an effort to better prepare the occupants in the moments before a collision. If no accident occurs, the seat-belt tensioners reverse, and you simply readjust your seat, open the sunroof and continue on your way.

AIRMATIC suspension

For the ideal balance of control and comfort, the AIRMATIC semi-active suspension employs electronically controlled air springs. Every time a wheel moves up or down, the system automatically selects one of four damping profiles for each spring-strut. Sport and Comfort modes let drivers match the handling character to their mood. Automatic 4-wheel level control adapts for additional cargo or passengers, and lowers the car at higher speeds for improved aerodynamics.

Nappa leather multifunction steering wheel

Wrapped in supple Nappa leather, the E350 Sedan steering wheel includes power tilt and telescopic adjustment. For fingertip access to some of the vehicle functions you use most often, convenient buttons on the steering wheel let you control the audio volume and selection, send and end calls on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, and scroll through the features of the multifunction display in the instrument cluster. Luxury Sedans feature a 4-spoke wheel, while Sport Sedans include a 3-spoke design.

3-spoke sport steering wheel (Sport)

For maximum driving pleasure, the sport steering wheel features a grippy Nappa leather-wrapped rim and sporty 3-spoke configuration. Raised thumbrests are placed at the ideal "10 and 2 o'clock" positions, while the racing-inspired flat-bottom design facilitates ingress and egress.

Wood/leather steering wheel

Put a classic touch of luxury in your hands with a steering wheel accented with Black Ash or Burl Walnut wood to match the interior of the vehicle and trimmed in supple Nappa leather.

Heated steering wheel

Heating elements beneath the Nappa leather trim of the steering wheel rapidly take the chill out of your hands on a cold morning. After a few minutes, the heating level is automatically reduced to maintain lasting comfort.

MP3 Media Interface

The MP3 Media Interface turns your Mercedes-Benz into an extension of your iPod or compatible electronic device. Browse, select and play your musical accompaniment of choice using steering-wheel, COMAND-system or stereo controls.

4MATIC all-wheel drive

In any season or road condition, 4MATIC™ all-wheel drive adds to your confidence and control. Always engaged and optimizing torque to every wheel, 4MATIC integrates with our standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) for maximum effectiveness in corners and slippery conditions. It also incorporates our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS).

17-inch twin 5-spoke wheels (Sport)

Sporty 17-inch alloy wheels with a dynamic twin 5-spoke design are a no-charge option on the E350 4MATIC Sport Sedan. They come fitted with all-season tires.

115V AC power outlet in center console

Conveniently located in the center console, a household-style 115V outlet lets you charge your laptop or camera, plug in a gaming system, or use other electronic devices, up to a maximum of 150 watts, without a special adapter.

PARKTRONIC with Parking Guidance

"Parking Guidance helps you size up parallel-parking spaces as you drive by, using sensors in the bumper to determine if available spots can accommodate your vehicle. It then displays steering instructions to help you find your way into it. During any low-speed maneuver, PARKTRONIC's ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers detect nearby objects within the system's field of view. Audible signals and illuminated displays in the cabin help you navigate tight spaces with confidence.

Premium 2 Package

Blind Spot Assist

When the vehicle is traveling above approximately 20 mph, this system uses radar technology to sense when a vehicle enters the blind-spot area. Blind Spot Assist then automatically alerts the driver via an illuminated red icon in the appropriate side mirror. The system also gives an audible warning if the driver activates a turn signal while a vehicle is detected in the blind spot.

Bluetooth® hands-free system with audio streaming

Bluetooth® audio streaming makes it even easier to enjoy your digital music player. It allows you to connect your Bluetooth-equipped iPod® or other MP3 player wirelessly to your vehicle's audio system for convenient, cable-free playback.

10GB Music Register

80GB hard-drive navigation with Zagat® Survey

Using GPS technology and an 80GB hard drive to store maps, points of interest, and Zagat® Survey ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf courses, this virtual copilot provides detailed driving directions with remarkable speed and a friendly voice. The COMAND system's large color-LCD screen also displays gas stations, ATMs and Mercedes-Benz dealerships along your route within the contiguous U.S., Canada and Oahu, Hawaii, with periodic updates available at your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.

Rear view camera

This innovative driver-assistance feature helps you to see directly behind your vehicle when reversing. Shift into Reverse, and a wide-angle camera mounted in the rear displays a live view of what's behind the vehicle on the COMAND screen in the dashboard.

Active Blind Spot Assist

Above approximately 20 mph, Active Blind Spot Assist can alert you to some unseen vehicles in the next lane. 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, advanced active technology can apply the brake to a single rear wheel, to help guide the car back into its lane.

18-inch AMG twin 5-spoke wheels (Sport)

Legendary 18-inch AMG wheels are available as part of the optional Wheel Package on the E350 Sport Sedan. Their twin-spoke design features highly polished surfaces with painted pockets, and they're fitted with all-season tires.

KEYLESS-GO

A leap in ease and efficiency pioneered by Mercedes-Benz, KEYLESS-GO lets you unlock, start and drive away without removing the SmartKey from your pocket or purse. You can lock and unlock the doors with a touch of the exterior handles, and start the engine by stepping on the brake pedal and pushing the Start/Stop button on the dashboard. You can also start the vehicle in the conventional way by removing the Start/Stop button and inserting the SmartKey into the ignition.

ECO Start/Stop system

A fuel-saving new ECO Start/Stop system automatically shuts off the engine at stoplights and other idle situations. As soon as the driver lifts off the brake, the engine instantly restarts, for immediate acceleration response. The ECO Start/Stop feature can also be shut off by the driver at any time.

Interior ambient lighting

A network of efficient LEDs and fiber optics casts a gentle glow from beneath the trim on the dashboard and door panels, both to welcome occupants into the cabin and to help make nighttime driving feel more secure.

Active Lane Keeping Assist

With technology that monitors ordinary road markings, Active Lane Keeping Assist helps detect unintended drifting off-course,and alerts the driver by vibrating the steering wheel. If the driver continues to drift, it can apply the brake to a single rear wheel to help guide the car back into its lane.

Sport-tuned suspension

E-Class Sport Sedans feature springs and shock absorbers tuned for sharper handling response and a more aggressive stance.

Heated front seats

Electrically heated front seats quickly take the chill out of even the coldest day. Three levels of warming automatically step down after several minutes to the lowest setting.

Active multicontour driver seat

The optional active multicontour driver seat features adjustable lumbar supports, side bolsters and shoulder supports, for custom-tailored support. A massage feature helps prevent fatigue on longer drives. Active side bolsters can be set to automatically increase lateral support in cornering maneuvers, or even in the event of a potential accident.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist

Engineered to provide the maximum possible road illumination without creating glare for other drivers, this innovative feature uses continuous input from a camera to automatically vary the range of your high beams, based on the distance both to oncoming vehicles and to those ahead of you. Enhancing your ability to identify changes in the road´s path and the presence of pedestrians and hazards earlier, Adaptive Highbeam Assist can help you drive more safely and confidently in the dark.

14-way power front seats, including 4-way lumbar support

Intuitive, seat-shaped controls help you and your front passenger find your ideal seating positions with 14-way power adjustment, including a power lumbar support. A memory system for each front seat recalls three stored seat positions with the touch of a button. The driver-seat memory also includes the power steering column and side mirror positions.

Lane Keeping Assist

With technology that monitors ordinary road markings, Lane Keeping Assist helps detect unintended drifting off-course, and alerts the driver by vibrating the steering wheel.

Advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can automatically detect a substantial loss of tire pressure in any wheel and alert the driver via a warning message in the multifunction display. The advanced TPMS can also display the numeric tire pressure for each mounted wheel.

DISTRONIC PLUS® with Steering Assist

This radar-based cruise control adapts your set speed to the flow of traffic ahead, automatically slowing until your path is clear again. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, DISTRONIC PLUS can brake your car to a full halt, then automatically resume when traffic starts moving. For 2014, a new Steering Assist feature helps the driver keep the vehicle centered in its lane while cruising on straight roads or in gentle curves.

Panorama roof

Offering both front- and rear-seat passengers sweeping skyward views, this fully functional glass sunroof features a front panel that can either tilt up for ventilation or slide over the rear panel for an open-air feeling. Dual interior power shades allow occupants to adjust the amount of sunlight entering the cabin.

Driver Assistance Package

Innovations for added security and convenience:

• DISTRONIC PLUS with PRE-SAFE® Brake
• Active Blind Spot Assist
• Active Lane Keeping Assist

Multicolor ambient lighting

A network of efficient LEDs and fiber optics casts a gentle glow from beneath the trim on the dashboard and door panels, both to welcome occupants into the cabin and to help make nighttime driving feel more secure. For an added touch of personality, any of three illumination color profiles (Polar, Solar and Neutral) can be selected.

Power rear-window sunshade

With the touch of a button, you can help keep the cabin cooler and shield back-seat passengers from sunlight or glare. Raising and lowering electrically, this interior sunshade features fine mesh that allows you to see out through the rear window even when it's in use.

DISTRONIC PLUS (with PRE-SAFE Brake)

This advanced, radar-based cruise control monitors the vehicle ahead and adjusts your speed to help maintain a chosen following distance. It can even bring the car to a halt if it senses stopped traffic, then resume automatically. Should the car ahead slow or stop suddenly, the PRE-SAFE Brake system can automatically engage up to 40% of available braking power and issue an audiovisual alarm. If you still haven't applied the brakes within 0.6 seconds of a calculated impact, it automatically engages 100% braking power.

4MATIC® all-wheel drive

In any season or road condition, standard 4MATIC® all-wheel drive adds to your confidence and control. Always engaged and optimizing torque to every wheel, 4MATIC® integrates with our standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) for maximum effectiveness in corners and slippery conditions. It also incorporates our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS).

Rear Seat Entertainment system

LCD monitors built into the front head restraints offer first-rate entertainment to the second row. Dual input sources let passengers enjoy DVDs and video games together or independently, with two wireless headsets and dual wireless remotes. Separate movies can play at once, by using both the DVD player under the rear seat and the standard in-dash CD/DVD changer. Auxiliary inputs on both monitors plus the underseat DVD player connect portable gaming devices, video cameras or other peripherals. Audio can play via the vehicle's sound system or discreetly through each headset.

Mercedes-Benz mbrace2™

From your car, your computer or your compatible smartphone, mbrace2™ offers the industry's most comprehensive range of features for more connected, safe and productive drive time. From making your everyday life easier to helping out in an emergency, mbrace2 combines advanced Cloud-based and GPS technology with 24-hour support from helpful experts. The mbrace hardware is standard, and a trial period for each of the three mbrace Packages is included.

6-disc DVD/CD player

A single-slot system, the in-dash 6-disc changer plays audio CDs and DVDs. You can even watch a DVD movie while the vehicle is in Park. An in-dash memory card reader is also standard.

PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist

Active Parking Assist helps you size up parallel-parking spaces as you drive by, using sensors in the bumper to determine if a spot can fit your car. It then expertly steers the car into the space while you control the brakes and gear selection. When it’s time to leave, the system can steer you out of the parking space with equal ease. In any low-speed maneuver, PARKTRONIC's ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers help detect nearby objects within the system's field of view. Audible signals and illuminated displays in the cabin help you navigate tight spaces with confidence.

17-inch 5-spoke wheels (Luxury)

Clean, crisp and elegant 5-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels are standard on the E350 Luxury Sedan. They come fitted with all-season tires.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)

This safety breakthrough first introduced by Mercedes-Benz continually monitors your driving inputs and the vehicle's motion to help keep it going in your intended direction, especially in corners and during evasive maneuvers. 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.

AGILITY CONTROL suspension

Engineered specifically for performance driving, AGILITY CONTROL automatically adjusts the individual shock absorbers based on the road surface and the driver's current driving style. Valving inside each shock absorber automatically firms up during stronger body motions for sharper handling feedback and stability, and reduces the damping rates during gentler motions for a smoother, more composed ride.

COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST

At speeds above 20 mph, this new system's radar-based technology alerts the driver if they're approaching a vehicle ahead at a speed and distance that suggest a collision is likely. It can also detect stationary objects when driving at speeds up to 40 mph. Its Adaptive Brake Assist automatically provides the ideal level of braking as soon as the driver steps on the brake pedal. And if deemed necessary, the system can also activate PRE-SAFE®. Along with helping to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision, the system's engagement of the brake lamps can help to alert the drivers behind your E-Class earlier as well.

PRE-SAFE®

A Mercedes-Benz first, PRE-SAFE can detect instability during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front passenger seat, and close the windows and sunroof, all in an effort to better prepare the occupants and restraints in the moments before a collision. If no accident occurs, the seat-belt tensioners reverse, and you simply readjust your seat, open the sunroof and continue on your way.

Power tilt/sliding tinted glass sunroof

At the touch of a button, the tinted glass sunroof tilts up at the rear for ventilation, or slides open for a breezy view of the sky. An express feature fully opens or closes the roof with a single touch, and a manual sliding sunshade helps block out unwanted sunlight.

Night View Assist PLUS with Pedestrian Detection

Reading invisible infrared beams with a special camera, this innovation can detect objects nearly 500 feet ahead in near-total darkness. The systems can identify not only warm objects like animals but also cold debris and parked cars. It displays a black-and-white image on a high-resolution screen in the dash, rather than the windshield, to give you a clearer, sharper picture of what's ahead. Advanced software helps it detect human forms up to 300 feet ahead and then highlight them on the display.

Dual-zone digital automatic climate control

Separate left and right digital temperature controls allow the driver and front passenger to enjoy personalized comfort. In addition to fully automatic or manual control of blower speed and airflow distribution, the system includes sun and humidity sensors, a dust/pollen filter, and an activated charcoal filter that automatically recirculates cabin air upon detecting a significant increase in smog.

Paddle shifters

A pair of paddles strategically positioned behind the upper steering-wheel spokes allows you to manually upshift and downshift the 7-speed automatic transmission with just a flick of your fingers.
