the next step in driver assistance The new E-Class Coupé is equipped with the latest generation of driver assistance systems with cooperative driver support. The Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, for example, can help the driver to maintain the speed and distance from the vehicle ahead even in slow-moving traffic and even down to a standstill on motorways and country roads. Active Steering Assist is an innovation that helps the driver to stay in their lane on straight roads and gentle bends by means of active steering intervention. Active Lane Change Assist helps the driver to change lanes in good time by means of active steering intervention. The PRE-SAFE® PLUS system can

The new E-Class Coupé
Stylish and sporty
Stuttgart. With its expressive coupé-esque proportions, clear and sensual design
and long-distance comfort for four people, the new E-Class Coupé combines the
beauty and classic virtues of a grand tourer with state-of-the-art technology. It
also offers the intelligence of the E-Class family with full smartphone
integration, Widescreen Cockpit and the latest driver assistance systems with the
option of, among other things, partially automated driving. Powerful engines
with low exhaust emissions and comfortable suspensions with selective damping
provide the guarantee of a sporty and agile driving experience.
After the world's most intelligent executive saloon, the Estate and the
All-Terrain, the successfulE-Class family now welcomes another new member:
the Coupé. "With its clear, aesthetic lines, our new E-Class Coupé appeals
equally to heart and mind. It condenses contemporary luxury, agile sportiness
and high-tech engineering into an automotive personality with esprit, offering
exclusive, refined driving pleasure," says Prof. Dr Thomas Weber,Member of
the Board of Management of Daimler AG and responsible for Group Research
and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development.
Based technically on the Saloon, the sportily exclusive Coupé marks a next step
in the evolution of the Mercedes-Benz design language. With its perfect
proportions, the new Coupé exhibits a puristic, surface-accentuated design with
reduced lines and sensual forms. Both hot and cool, the reduced design idiom
represents beauty and elegance while emphasising the Coupé's sporty and
luxurious personality.
The coupé-esque proportions typical of Mercedes-Benz are characterised by a
distinctive front end with low-positioned sports grille and centralstar, a long
bonnet with powerdomes, a rearward-shifted,squat greenhouse and a muscular
rear end. The dynamic looks are underlined by four frameless side windows and

Page 2the absence of a B-pillar. With these clear forms, the design of the Coupé
conveys an air of luxury and style alike.
World premiere: welcome feature of tail lamp
Equally typical of a Mercedes coupé are the two-part, extremely flat LED tail
lamps, which, in combination with LED MULTIBEAM headlamps, celebrate the
world premiere of a welcome feature. When the vehicle is opened, the taillight
LEDs illuminate successively from the centre of the vehicle outwards. On
locking the vehicle, the light sequence runs in the opposite direction. Both are
additionally combined with an up and down dimming feature. This taillight show
welcomes and says goodbye to the vehicle user similarly to the familiar welcome
feature of the blue optical-fibre show in the front headlamp.
Thanks to innovative crystaloptics, the tail lamps also have a brilliant
appearance reminiscent of the glow of a jet engine.
Sporty, luxurious interior with refined details
The interior of the new E-Class Coupé embodies the synthesis of sporty emotion
and luxurious intelligence.
The two optionally available high-resolution and brilliant 12.3-inch displays –
unique in this segment - are merged under a single lens to produce a Widescreen
Cockpit that appears to float in space. The key design element, it emphasises the
width, as does the fascia-spanning trim, which terminates with a dynamic sweep
in the door panel. Positioned in the driver's direct field of vision, the instrument
cluster shows virtual instruments, which can be selected by the driver in three
different styles, "Classic", "Sport" and "Progressive", depending on which
information and views the driver considers relevant.
The entry-level model combines two round dials and a 17.8 cm colour display
cluster (1000 x 600 pixel resolution) with a centraldisplay with a 21.3 cm screen
diagonal (960 x 540 pixels). The round dials, instrument cluster and central
display are installed in a single frame with a high-gloss piano-lacquer look.
A decidedly sporty note is set by the air vents, the form of which is heavily
influenced by the look of a turbine engine. They are styled down to the smallest
detail and fully finished in silver shadow.

Page 3Touch Control buttons in the steering wheel enable the driver to control the
instrument cluster and multimedia system using finger swipes without having to
take their hands off the steering wheel. Additional controls come in the form of a
touchpad with controller in the centre console, which can also recognise
handwriting, plus the LINGUATRONIC voice control system. There are also
direct-access buttons for controlling the air conditioning, for example, and for
convenient activation and deactivation of certain driver assistance systems.
The avant-garde yet highly luxurious seats in the Coupé take their cue from the
Saloon. The sporty individual-seat characteristics find their distinctive
impression in all four seats. A wealth of extremely high-grade design details bear
witness to the superlative standard of a sporty luxury coupé.
High-grade materials and contemporary colour landscapes come together to
create a sporty, contemporary luxury. The attractive appointments in yacht blue
in combination with macchiato beige lend the vehicle a cool, exclusive yachting
look. Especially for the E-Class Coupé, there is a choice of two new innovative,
light wood trim packages in open-pore and high-gloss finishes. Precisely
executed seams give emphasis to the seat design of each equipment line. The seat
upholstery layout and range of colours of the AMG Line are more consistent in
appearance than ever. The sporty character is accentuated by strong colour
contrasts of the leather appointments in black & classic red and black & white.
The impressive range of exterior paint finishes is harmoniously matched to the
contemporary interior colour scheme
The interior lighting makes exclusive use of durable, energy-saving LED
technology. The same applies to the optionally available enhanced ambient
lighting with 64 colours.
Diversity to suit every taste
Even the AVANTGARDE standard equipment package is abundantly
configured. Alternatively, there is the AMG Line, which differs from
AVANTGARDE by such features as front and rear bumpers as well as side skirts
and larger AMG Styling wheels. The dots in the diamond radiator grille are
chrome-plated, while the brake discs on the front axle are perforated. The interior
boasts such features as seats in high-grade ARTICO/DINAMICA in black with
grey contrasting topstitching, the Seat Comfort package and an AMG leather
sports steering wheel. Additional individualisation options for both lines come

and tinted side windows.
Larger and more luxurious
With a length of 4826 mm, a width of 1860 mm and a height of 1430 mm, the
new E-Class Coupé clearly outstrips its predecessor in terms of length, width and
height. The principal beneficiary of the wider track,with 1605 mm at the front
(+67 mm) and 1609 mm at the rear (+68 mm), is the driving dynamics.

The significantly larger footprint compared with the previous model is to the
benefit of passengers with extra spaciousness and comfort. They profit especially
in terms of rear legroom, front and rear shoulder room as well as rear headroom.
In each of the four fully fledged seats with coupé-specific individual seat
character,the driver and passengers enjoy genuine comfort on long journeys as
well as the classic virtues of a grand tourer.

Page 6Performance with high-tech
Powerfuland efficient petrol and diesel engines, all equipped with ECO start/stop
and complying with the Euro 6 emissions standard, provide for lively
performance and great fun behind the wheel. The available variants include a
newly developed four-cylinder diesel engine.
At market launch, there will be an initial choice between one diesel and three
petrol engines with a range of outputs from 135 kW (184 hp) to 245 kW
(333 hp). Further engine variants and 4MATIC versions will follow.
New four-cylinder diesel engine
Designed to meet the future RDE limits, the four-cylinder diesel engine from the
new family of Mercedes-Benz engines opens up a new dimension in efficiency.
With a displacement of around two litres, the new diesel engine delivers
143 kW/194 hp, while the E 220 d impresses with a combined NEDC average
consumption of 4.0 litres per 100 kilometres. This is equivalent to CO2 emissions
of 106 grams per kilometre. In addition, the four-cylinder with single-stage
turbocharger and variable turbine geometry is distinguished by a high level of
refinement. Both the cylinder head and the crankcase are made of aluminium.
The Mercedes-Benz-developed NANOSLIDE®
surface coating efficiently
reduces the friction between cylinder liner and steelpiston.

All the models available at market launch are equipped as standard with the
9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, which allows fast gearshifts
along with lower engine speeds. This has a particularly beneficial effect on
efficiency and noise.
Suspension – sporty comfort
The suspension on the new E-Class Coupé offers agile driving pleasure on
winding roads together with exceptional ride comfort. The Coupé comes as
standard with DIRECT CONTROL suspension. In the interests of a sporty look,
the suspension is 15 millimetres lower than on the Saloon and is tuned for
comfort with an amplitude-dependent damping system.
The DYNAMIC BODY CONTROL suspension with adjustable damping is
optionally available. It, too, is set lower. Using a switch in the centre console for
the as-standard DYNAMIC SELECT system,the driver can vary the damping
characteristics of this suspension. Three modes are available, offering a wide
range of adjustment options: "Comfort", "Sport" and "Sport+".

8. Daimler Communications, 70546 Stuttgart, Germany
Mercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
Page 8AIR BODY CONTROL multi-chamber air suspension
Alternatively, the new E-Class Coupé can be equipped with multi-chamber air
suspension, including all-round roll/pitch/heave stabilisation. Advantages of this
system: three chambers of different size in the spring struts of the rear axle and
two in the spring struts of the front axle make it possible to control the hardness
of the suspension in three stages. In this way,the occupants enjoy soft basic
suspension, along with the secure feeling of good handling stability at higher
speeds.
The multi-chamber air suspension is augmented by a continuous, electronically
controlled adaptive damping system. The damping at each individual wheel is
adjusted fully automatically to suit the current driving situation and condition of
the road – such as in the case of evasive manoeuvres or on rough tracks. The
system therefore delivers good ride comfort along with excellent driving
dynamics.
Using the DYNAMIC SELECT switch, the driver can also select different
suspension characteristics in combination with the AIR BODY CONTROL
system: "Comfort", ECO,"Sport", "Sport +" and Individual.
DYNAMIC SELECT – choose your own driving characteristics
However,the DYNAMIC SELECT system not only makes it possible to select
the suspension characteristics in combination with DYNAMIC BODY
CONTROL and AIR BODY CONTROL,but it also enables the driver to
influence other vehicle settings – such as the throttle response,ECO start/stop
function, shift points of the automatic transmission and more. Depending on the
equipment level, DYNAMIC SELECT provides the following transmission
modes: Comfort, ECO, Sport, Sport + and Individual. "Individual" allows the
driver to configure their own preferred transmission modes.
Full smartphone integration
A new era of connectivity and digitalisation is marked by the infotainment
system in the E-Class Coupé with COMAND Online. This includes effortless
integration of the smartphone into the vehicle's infotainment system by means of
capacitive aerial coupling and wireless charging. This means that compatible
mobile phones can be charged wirelessly and also connected to the vehicle's
exterior aerial. This dispenses with the need to find a plug and connect a cable.

Page 9There is an added advantage: using Near Field Communication, the customer's
smartphone becomes the digital vehicle key with which the car can be locked and
unlocked as well as started.
Apple CarPlay®
and Android Auto
If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND Online, it is possible to use Apple's
smartphone-based infotainment system CarPlay®
as well as Google's Android
Auto™. If a compatible smartphone is connected by USB, the customer can,if
desired, switch to the CarPlay®
or Android Auto interface.
Internet and diverse data sources even in the basic version
In addition to COMAND Online, the Audio 20 USB/GPS infotainment systems
are available. Like COMAND Online, they come with a Bluetooth®
hands-free
system and also have internet capability with a Bluetooth®
-capable mobile phone
with mobile phone card and data option. COMAND Online also offers an
integrated hotspot functionality.
Clear road instead of traffic jams: Live Traffic Information
Whereas the familiar Live Traffic Information was previously reserved for
COMAND Online, in combination with Mercedes me connect the new E-Class
Coupé offers the same function with the Audio 20 GPS with GARMIN MAP
PILOT SYSTEM as well. Live Traffic Information allows the reception of up-to-
the-minute, accurate traffic information in real-time. Other new features include a
Free Flow display – green lines plainly show the driver where the roads are
currently clear – as well as the display and consideration of traffic information
away from the main roads.
Mercedes me connect Concierge Service: personalised attention
A further comfort highlight is the new Concierge Service, which is exclusively
available in all E-Class models in combination with Mercedes me connect. For
participating customers, the range of services includes a host of personalised
assistance options: from making a restaurant reservation to obtaining tips about
tourist routes, information on cultural and sporting events and bookings through
to sending navigation destinations directly to the vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
Page 10Access is straightforward: registered Mercedes me connect users can call up the
Concierge Service in 19 countries across Europe either via the iCall button in the
vehicle or on the Mercedes me app. The personal assistant takes care of
everything else.
E-Class innovations on board
As a member of the current E-Class family, the new Coupé is significantly more
intelligent than its predecessor. It comes with all the features of the E-Class, the
most intelligent executive saloon. Active Brake Assist comes as standard. It is
able to warn the driver of an imminent collision, provide optimum support with
emergency braking and, if necessary,also autonomously apply the brakes. In
addition to slower-moving, stopping or stationary vehicles, it can also detect
pedestrians crossing in the danger zone ahead of the vehicle.
Other highlights include DRIVE PILOT:this system represents Mercedes-Benz's
next step along the road to autonomous driving. As Distance Pilot DISTRONIC,
it is not only able to keep the car at the correct distance behind vehicles in front
on all types of road, but, for the first time, it can also automatically follow them
at a speed of up to 210 km/h.
Remote Parking Pilot is also new: for the first time, this system allows the
vehicle to be moved into and out of garages and parking spaces remotely using a
smartphone app, enabling the occupants to get into and out of the car easily, even
where space is very tight.
The E-Class Coupé is also optionally available with other intelligent technical
systems, including:
 high-resolution MULTIBEAM LED headlamps. These headlamps, each
with 84 individually activated high-performance LEDs, automatically
illuminate the road surface with a hitherto unsurpassed, precision-
controlled distribution of exceptionally bright light – without dazzling
other road users.
 MAGIC VISION CONTROL - an intelligent and highly efficient
wash/wipe system for the windscreen. The wiper blade always delivers
washer fluid directly in front of the wiping edge, via the water feed line
integrated into the blade – and it does this in both wiping directions. The
result is that there is no surge of water when fluid is sprayed, which can
impair the driver's vision, and at the same time the maximum cleaning

Page 11effect is achieved. The complete MAGIC VISION CONTROL system,
including the wiper blades, is heated at low temperatures to prevent snow
or ice from sticking in winter.
E-Class Coupé with tradition
As an exclusive and sporty coupé, the latest member of the E-Class family can
look back on an almost fifty-year history. Its first ancestor was unveiled by
Mercedes-Benz in 1968 (at that time known as the "Stroke Eight" coupé). Further
model series followed – for a while also under the name CLK. Each generation
combined superb design with agile sportiness and contemporary luxury at a high
level.
