Mercedes E – Class
Detroit (ots) – The new star in the luxury segment made its first appearance on the eve of the 2009 NAIAS – as part of the Mercedes-Benz New Year’s Reception in Detroit, Daimler CEO Dr. Dieter Zetsche presented the latest version of the successful luxury sedan in front of over 650 trade journalists from around the world. With the new E-Class, Mercedes-Benz is setting the new benchmark, particularly in terms of safety and comfort, as well as environmental sustainability and economy. Under the heading “fascination and responsibility”, the Stuttgart automobile manufacturer presented a further two new models – the SLR Stirling Moss crowns the successful SLR super sports car range with an uncompromising high performance model. And with the BlueZERO concept, Mercedes-Benz is leading the way in environmentally sustainable electric mobility. The intelligent, modular concept facilitates no less than three models with different powertrain configurations on the basis of one single vehicle architecture.
“The new E-Class is the safest, most comfortable and cleanest E- Class ever. It is yet further evidence that fascination and responsibility go hand-in-hand at Mercedes”, commented Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars at the exclusive preview presentation. “We are certain that the new E-Class will send a positive signal for the 2009 automotive year, and will be among the winners in the global market.”
