2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is all about safety and comfort. The '07 E-Class introduced many of the safety features which were previously only offered in the Mercedes S-Class models.

One of these safety features is the Pre-Safe collision mitigation system. What this means is that, if the radar senses the danger of a collision, Pre-Safe causes the seatbelts to clinch It can even alter the position of the passenger seat in front, so the passenger will get the most out of the seatbelt.

In addition to that, the front of the car boasts both dual-stage airbags and side-impact airbags, the latter of which are also housed in the side doors. As for the side windows, those offer curtain-type airbags.

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class models also feature antilock brakes and Brake Assist, an electronic stability system and cruise control which is based on radar.

These models also feature a brake light which will flash if there is any panic braking. The purpose of this flashing is that the flashing lights will attract the driver’s attention faster. There is also a Tele Aid feature, which can contact authorities and send them to the car and driver’s location, just in case there is an accident.

One of the things critics and drivers like most about the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class are the incredible amounts of space offered in these models.

The front seats have nine different ways to adjust, which allows it to be just as perfect during cruising speeds as it is during fast, daredevil speeds. In addition to that, the backseat is considered a dream – a not so minor miracle, considering that it is difficult these days to find a backseat which even passes for comfortable, unless it is with an SUV.

The backseats in the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is considered perfect by most, especially when it comes to longer drives.

But it does not stop there. Even the trunk is magnificent. It is as long as it is wide and deep as well, but even if drivers feel they need more space, all they need do is check out all the cubic feet available behind the backseats.
