Mercedes E-Class 2013 - sports comfort and automation of the middle class

In 2013, 20 years have passed since the system for the designation of Mercedes cars has finally changed. The primacy in determining the brand of the car moved from the volume of the engine to the type of body. The letter "E", used before for the designation of the fuel injection system, now "migrated" to the name of the bodies corresponding to the German word "exekutivklasse". Literally this means almost elected, but in practice - machines for the normal middle class. Actually, so it is, and E-class cars, along with Mercedes minibuses, are most often found on our roads.

Two years after the above innovation, in 1995, the release of "four-eyed" Mercedes E-Class, which in 2013, the past. True, some continuity is preserved: the current Mercedes E-Class more angular headlights are divided either by LED strips, or a thin body line. Design innovations also touched the tail lights, wings and front bumper, which is now "more abrupt" than many "tuned" predecessors.

A new line of engines, improved in power, dynamics and elasticity in the lower speed range, contributes to a more sporty appearance and character of the 2013 Mercedes E-Class. In the cabin, too, the changes are noticeable: the number of dials has decreased from five to three, the analog clock has returned, the shape of the steering wheel has changed. And the rest of the feeling of solid and solid coziness in the Mercedes salon remained the same.

The 2013 Mercedes E-Class cars are equipped with a unique security system. Automatically controlled driver fatigue and head light level. Also under the control of the line markings on the road and neighboring cars, parking obstacles and even the presence of people running across the road: if the 2013 Mercedes E-Class moves at a speed of less than 50 km / h, then without the driver's participation it will prevent a hiccup pedestrian.

To control the suspension, four types of electronic systems are used: from soft and comfortable to hard and sporty. Particularly interesting is the adaptive-pneumatic suspension control system in all-wheel drive models Mercedes E 350 4MATIC.

An interesting novelty for the 2013 Mercedes E-Class cars is the automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC PLUS with steering on the steering wheel. The transition to manual control occurs simply because the driver starts to operate manually - the car "understands" the owner's intentions.

The most advanced in terms of modern eco-trends is the car Mercedes E 300 model BlueTEC HYBRID. It is a full-fledged hybrid, combining an electric motor with a capacity of 26 hp. With a diesel engine developing power up to 204 hp. The electrical installation, which loses in proportion to the power, looks more impressive in the ratio of the torque: the diesel engine has 500 Nm, and the electric motor has 280 Nm. Such characteristics make this hybrid a fairly dynamic car, able to accelerate to 100 km / h in 7.5 seconds, while diesel fuel consumption is 4.1 liters per 100 km.

Despite the nationwide and broadly embracing direction of the E-Class, the 2013 models stand out for their exclusivity in sports design, advanced features in suspension management and a host of advanced electronic systems that facilitate the life of a modern driver.
