Cebu has always kept its special place in the heart of the country’s history. It has maintained its significance in trade, education and tourism. The Queen City of the South is without a doubt home to notable people, who know the importance of quality, safety and efficiency.
Thus, Cebu definitely is not getting left behind. Mercedes-Benz is now bringing in its latest showcase of technological innovations—the new E-Class.
The world’s authority when it comes to automotive innovation and design is set to take the Cebuano’s breath away for this new and exciting vehicle, which is raising the standard in today’s luxury sedan.
This extremely elegant automobile is armed with the best in driving features and adorned with top-of-the-line accessories for optimum comfort and drive that Cebuanos surely cannot resist. It boasts of the latest technological advancements that will set the industry’s bar to a higher level.
Ability to anticipate
Well-fitted with a 360-degree network of cameras, sensors and radars, the new E-Class puts safety first. Active brake assist is a standard safety feature that warns the driver of impending collisions, autonomously activates emergency brakes when necessary, and detects pedestrians crossing the danger zone ahead of the vehicle.
Attention assist keeps the driver focused on the road, alerting him when he is getting inattentive or drowsy.
The Drive pilot comes as a groundbreaking optional feature that follows road markings and intuitively adjusts to the speed of traffic ahead.
More optional driver-assist features guarantee the most ideal of driving conditions: the steering pilot maintains the car straight on its lane and prevents it from unintentional swerving, while the active lane change assist allows the car to move on its own once it detects a clear lane.
These features are only a few among the many that prove how it is possible for a car to be continuously aware of its surroundings at all times, making accident-free and near-autonomous driving no longer a dream, but a reality.
Ability to adapt
The E-Class boasts of a sensual interior with spacious architecture that gives it a luxurious edge over its competitors. Warm shades of brown leather suit ergonomically designed seats, balancing a sporty aesthetic with long-ride comfort seating. Open-pore wood accents and an impressive 64-color interior lighting make the inside of the new E-Class ambient.
Optionally available are two high-resolution wide screen displays (12.3 inches diagonally each) that form a beautiful focal point for a fully digital cockpit. There is a pair of touch-sensitive pads on the steering wheel manageable by both thumbs and a Touchpad by the center console, providing ease of access to the E-Class’ infotainment system, without the strain of an extra movement or the risk of one’s safety.
And for its driver’s added pleasure, a choice of five driving modes is made available—“Comfort,” “Eco,” “Sport,” “Sport+” and “Individual” (personalized). While its engine guarantees the smoothest, most luxurious drive, inside the car is a masterclass of interior design, marrying the joys of the senses with the cool ease of technology, only amplifying the pure satisfaction of driving and riding the new E-Class.

Efficiency
The driving dynamics of the new E-Class rules with its stellar specs. Powered by a 2.0 L inline four-cylinder petrol engine and geared with the new 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, this masterpiece is able to swiftly change gears with low engine revs, promoting fuel efficiency and manageably low noise levels. Equipped with standard steel suspension, the new E-Class offers agile and secured driving experience particularly on tricky and twisting roads.
More stunning features
With a wheelbase that has grown by 65 mm and an overall length of 43 mm, passengers regardless of their seat in the executive class are gifted with space both above and below. To top that, a panorama roof and head-out display lord it over the cabin and give passengers an almost seamless look up into the sky.
All these automobile breakthroughs and the promise of driving comfortably are handsomely cased in true Mercedes-Benz fashion. Done up in the hallmark Mercedes saloon proportions with an elongated bonnet, a coupe-style roof that melts into a sensual, wide-shouldered tail end, make for quite an impressive form that anyone would dream of driving. Sparkly LED head and taillights, alloy wheels and the legendary three-pointed star complete the sleek, sweeping design of the E-Class, a benchmark of sporty elegance.
While man continues to look ahead to a future that is better, safe, beautiful, easy and comfortable, driving past the dreamers and leaving those who choose to stay behind is the stunning new Mercedes-Benz E-Class—an intelligent and elegant car made for tomorrow, already here, today.
