Two New Contenders From Mercedes-Benz

Two New Contenders From Mercedes-Benz

Date: 2024-06-25

Fresh on the mid-range luxury saloon scene is the brand new E-Class model, accompanied by the enigmatic new Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe.

The launch for these two amazing new models was held at the Mercedes-Benz Lifestyle Centre in Umhlanga. A select group of journalists were invited to experience the new models and after an eye-popping presentation we were ensconced in the sensory overloading interiors of the new E-Class and CLE.

The new CLE is an amazing union of the best of the C-Class and the E-Class combined in a sleek sensuous expression of movement and elegance.

Driving the new models was the closest to flying first class I have ever come in a motorcar. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive of the CLE 300 and the 9G-TRONIC transmission produced a most sublime experience, one I can only compare to flying.

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class really takes things to the next level, an example of which is the new Active Ambient Lighting with Sound Visualisation system that uses sound resonating transducers in the optional Burmester® 4D surround sound system, to send vibrations through the seats in tune with the music, and flash or flow the ambient lighting to the beat as well.

This is just an example of the lengths Mercedes-Benz have gone to in their pursuits of excellence.
