The all-new 10th generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class has arrived and brings not only a sharp new look and range of efficient engines, but a staggering array of technology that may cement the new Mercedes as the most advanced passenger car on the road.

CarAdvice.com.au drives the E300 – a 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 180kW and 370Nm. It isn’t the most powerful engine in the range but it pulls well and handles urban and highway cruising duties well.

All models in the new E-Class line up receive the 9G-Tronic 9-speed automatic transmission.

The new E-Class features a wide -screen high-resolution digital dashboard which can be controlled by thumb pads on the steering wheel. The car has a semi-autonomous driving mode and a host of accident avoidance awareness technology.
