09/08/2007 Mercedes targets executives with E-Class

A special edition of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon has been developed by the group exclusively for use by the business world.

All types of workers in the corporate sector may be tempted by the E-Class Executive, which has been designed to ensure time behind the wheel is a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Special features in the vehicle include a six-disc CD player with mp3-playing ability, while telephone pre-wiring means executives can make and receive important calls by controlling their mobile with buttons on the steering wheel.

Climate control and electronically-adjustable seats ensure increased comfort, while Mercedes-Benz also claims that the stylish interior is aimed at creating a "strong sense of wellbeing".

Optional features include heated front seats and the Parktronic system – developed to provide an audible and visual warning when parking to avoid a collision.

Prices for the E-Class Executive start at £28,515 on the road.

Production of the first-ever E-Class models began in the mid 1990s.
