High-quality materials adorn every surface, from supple leather to rich wood or modern metal trims. The digital revolution plays out on large high-definition screens— one serving as a reconfigurable instrument cluster, the other as the centerpiece for the advanced MBUX infotainment system.

Electrified Powertrains, Signature Comfort

For South Africa, a selection of electrified petrol and diesel engines power the upcoming E-Class. All will feature mild-hybrid technology for added efficiency and smoothness.

With plenty of performance, the E-Class's focus on luxurious comfort will remain however, promising a plush ride and hushed refinement.

Cutting-Edge Features

South African buyers expect comprehensive safety and convenience technology, and the new E-Class won't disappoint. Look for a suite of advanced driver assistance systems, including automatic emergency braking, intelligent cruise control, and lane-keeping assist for enhanced peace of mind on the road. Optional features may include an advanced parking assistance package, a premium Burmester surround sound system, and a head-up display.
