The new generation 2024 Mercedes-BenzE-Class Sedan brings a mix of tradition and modernity, featuring new tech. Available in the standard Premium Trim or Pinnacle Trim, the sedan has qualities that can give your fleet drivers a smooth ride.
Tech Geared to Work for You

Arriving at U.S. dealerships in early 2024, the E-Class introduces a new third generation Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system and an optional MBUX Superscreen.
The MBUX Superscreen Package also features an additional 12.3" front passenger display, privacy function for passenger display, and an all-new video camera.
The E-Class can work for executive fleet drivers on the move.

Moving Your Vehicle Forward with Eased Vehicle Updates
The electronic architecture in the new sedan is more software-driven, which makes individual updates easier in the future.
Numerous functions are powered by a new central onboard computer, including MBUX Augmented Reality for Navigation and a zero-layer design which reduces user scrolling for common functions. The Routines feature enables customers to automate comfort functions to match their personal habits, the automaker noted in a news release.
Customers can also enjoy a vastly expanded number of third-party apps optimized for a better user experience. A camera-based system uses an advanced filtering concept to ensure the content on the screen is not visible to the driver while in motion.
A Refresh to the Exterior
The new exterior features the proportions of a classic 'cab-backward' design — a short front overhang and long hood — as well as progressive design elements, including a black panel connecting the radiator grille with the headlamps.
High-performance LED headlamps are fitted standard, with the optional DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps constantly adapting the illumination of the road to the lighting conditions, traffic situation, course of the road, and weather.
Highlights at the rear include the two-section LED taillights with a new contour and unique star motif design.
The E-Class is available in an array of paint options, including a new Verde Silver metallic finish, a variety of wheel designs in 18 to 21" sizes, and an optional illuminated grille, where the contour of the radiator grille lights up as a perimeter light.
A Smooth Ride
Standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive and AGILITY CONTROL suspension with selective damping delivers outstanding ride comfort and agile handling.
Available 4.5 Degree Rear Axle Steering, part of the optional AIRMATIC Package, further enhances handling stability and maneuverability.
The package also includes AIRMATIC suspension with air springs and adaptive ADS+ dampers controlled automatically for each individual wheel, and separately during rebound and compression.
The new Mercedes-Benz Digital Vehicle Key, standard on the new E-Class, enables users to unlock, lock, and start the vehicle with a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch. Key sharing is also possible. In doing so, the main user of the Mercedes me Connect account can assign different access for each device.
