Like its predecessors, the ninth-generation E-Class is instantly recognisable as a Mercedes. Yet it displays its very own design idiom: the front end sweeps back dynamically, the long flanks exude athleticism and the rear section is emphatically broad. The design leaves no doubt that this is the start of a new chapter in the story of the E-Class

If you're having trouble fleeing everyday stress, the new E-Class could be just the escape car you need. From the moment you get in, you just know you are in for a treat: the convenient controls are custom-designed around you, the impressive technology does exactly what you want it to and the generously appointed interior panders to your every whim. Experience a saloon that is ahead of its time.
