“With the interior of the new E-Class we convey a new interpretation of the concept of modern luxury. We've designed a spacious and smart interior, true to Mercedes-Benz's sensual purity design philosophy. The interior features technological innovations and high-quality equipment that provide an exceptional emotional experience for the driver and front passenger. In this way, the E-Class sets a new benchmark in the business limousine segment. In addition to a place of work and a private environment, it is also a “third house”, a living room where passengers can enjoy modern luxury.”

The 10th generation of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, whose international presentation took place in Portugal (between Lisbon, Estoril and Setúbal), is the first vehicle equipped with tactile control buttons on the steering wheel. These buttons allow the driver to fully control the information system.
