\"UKCOTY-1\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon has been named Car of the Year at the UK Car of the Year Awards 2017, voted for by a panel of 27 of the country\u2019s most influential motoring journalists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new E-Class is one of the safest and most advanced cars in its segment<\/a>. Alongside the high standard of specification, options include the Driving Assistance Plus package, an advanced radar cruise control, with new functionality that allows the car to follow the vehicle in front. In combination with Comand Online navigation, the system also has Speed Limit Pilot, which can adjust the vehicle\u2019s speed to camera-detected limits or those logged in the navigation. If specified with Remote Parking Pilot, the vehicle can be parked remotely via a smartphone app.<\/p>\n

Krishan Bodhani, Head of smart and Product Management, Mercedes-Benz Cars UK, commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe E-Class is one of our core models; it\u2019s at the very heart of our brand. When we unveiled the all-new car last year it showcased a host of innovative technology which makes it one of the most advanced cars in its segment. Together with its modern, comfortable cabin the E-Class presents a very desirable package \u2013 it\u2019s great to see it getting the recognition it deserves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

John Challen, director of the UK Car of the Year Awards, added:<\/p>\n

\u201cMercedes-Benz has a long history of creating impressive saloon cars and the new E-Class continues this trend, raising the bar in the executive vehicle sector. Stunning inside and out, it takes driver and passengers into the realms of luxury. The level of technology \u2013 and the attention to detail \u2013 at your fingertips is astounding.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2016, Mercedes-Benz sold over 12,000 new E-Class Saloons. The E-Class Estate was launched in September 2016, while the E-Class Coup\u00e9 is available to order now with first cars arriving from May 2017. For the first time, the E 220 d Saloon and Estate are available with either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.<\/p>\n

To complete the new range, the E-Class Cabriolet and Mercedes-AMG E 63 Estate will have their world premieres at the Geneva Motor Show in March.<\/p>\n
