The life of E400 Merc - Can it get better than that?

The life of E400 Merc - Can it get better than that?

There are few things that excite me more than the smell of premium Nappaleatherupholstery, the cool and airy feeling of ventilated seats, and the custom made sports car seats that adjust and shape your frame to perfection with every turn and sway of this sexy beast.

The E400 Merc is a car for me. This vintage inspired model has enough sophistication and inner style to turn any car snob into a blabbering groupie.

Its no secret that Mercedes Benz has long been known for its safety features but the E-Class just makes all the models pale into insignificance. In addition to traction and stability control system, this beauty boasts nine supplemental restrains including two stage front air bags, a knee airbag for the driver and pelvic air bags, which work together with full length side curtain and front side air bags, to provide extra protection for front occupants in dangerous side-impact collision. 

The Intelligent Drive has a new stereo camera, which delivers three-dimensional views fifty meters beyond the car and 500 meters in total. This allows a pedestrian detection system that can brake autonomously at up to 70km/ph and can entirely avoid hitting those on foot at up to 50km/ph. 

Active lane keeping applies the brakes to centre the car if you veer toward oncoming traffic, using camera and radar to track approaching cars. It is a freaky experience when your car starts slowing down and realigns on it own every time you cross the yellow line. To be honest the first time it happened it took me completely by surprise but soon I got the hang of it and it was smooth gliding on the M4.

The Mercedes Benz E400 is a statement of serious sophistication and power. It is easy to understand why so many drivers stick to this brand and become so brand loyal. For me this particular series of Mercedes represents a completely new understanding of the future of vehicle manufacturing and the advancement of safety technologies that are sure to save millions of lives on our roads in the near future. 

It no wonder Mercedes Benz is one of the world's best all-around luxury sedans.
