Video – The engineering of Mercedes Benz

So what do you look for in a car before buying it? Do you even consider safety in the list of priorities? While it is almost impossible to examine and understand how safe a car is, if we have the financial muscle we can always go in for a car/variant with added safety features.

AUTOBILD poll – “New E-Class is the best-looking car in the world”

AUTOBILD poll – “New E-Class is the best-looking car in the world”

About 100,000 AUTO BILD magazine readers have voted the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class the best-looking car in the world. The E-Class Sedan was the overall winner while the E-Class Coupé grabbed top spot in the “Coupé and Cabriolet” category.

Apart from looking good, a unique combination of driving assistance systems have gone into the E Class (these may fetch more awards in future). Among them are features such as drowsiness detection, Adaptive Highbeam Assist and the DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control system which plays an important role in helping to prevent rear-end collisions.

E-Class trademarks such as long-distance comfort, use of high-quality materials and the perfect ergonomics are retained. The best part however is the car’s long term value. Some independent analysts say that the new E-Class will have a miniscule depreciation value and will offer the best value retention in its class.
