Three Reasons Why The 2016 E-Class Is Obsolete

2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs 2016 E-Class

For the E-Class, the jump from 2016 to 2017 marks one of the most significant one-year advancements in Mercedes-Benz history. Both inside and out, the 2017 E-Class is brand new. It is longer, more muscular, more comfortable, more convenient, and infinitely more intelligent than its predecessor. Here are some of the main differences between the 2017 and 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans.

Exterior Increase In Body Length

The E-Class often learns tricks from the S-Class. The elongated body is definitely one of them. Having a lengthened wheelbase makes the E-Class smoother on the road and more comfortable on the butt. The new E-Class is 1.7 inches longer than the 2016 E-Class overall and has a wheelbase that is 2.6 inches longer.

 

Interior Design And Infotainment Features

 

The 2017 E-Class lives up to its reputation for being a genius with never-before-seen features such as touch-screen pads on the steering wheel, two 12.3-inch LCD screens, and enough driver-assistance features to deserve a salary.

DRIVE PILOT® Driver Assistance

The E-Class has a mountain of new features that could keep you occupied for a decade, but the real claim to fame is the DRIVE PILOT® system. With this adaptive cruise control technology, the E-Class is considered one of the world’s first semi-autonomous cars. It can monitor traffic in all directions, keeping the sedan in the flow of traffic even when there are no street lines or signs.
