Intelligent automotive is becoming more exciting and dynamic. The E-Class saloon and Estate are the first representatives of a profound update of this series. Both models will reach European dealerships during the Summer 2020. The long version of the sedan (for China) will follow shortly, as will the coupe and cabrio.
More than 14 million saloons and Estate models delivered to their owners since 1946 make the E-Class the best-selling passenger car series in the history of Mercedes-Benz. Many experts consider it the “heart of the brand.” Since its introduction in 2016, the tenth generation of the E-Class has captured the eyes and hearts of customers with its sharp and at the same time evocative design, and with a exclusive and high-quality cabin. Another characteristic attribute of this model range is the sum of innovations it incorporates, for example, in the driving assistance systems. This suggestive and intelligent combination has completely triumphed in the markets. To date, more than 1,2 million customers around the world have decided on a saloon or Estate from the current generation of the E-Class.
