Earlier today we brought the first official pictures and details of the new Mercedes E-Class. Now we have a couple of videos that show you the ‘E’ in more details, so you can appreciate the changes better and see if the new headlights and bumpers make any sense to you. Just as the SLK is a mini SL, and the upcoming CLA is a mini CLA, the E-Class can be considered as a mini S-Class. It certainly has enough technology features for that.

The new E-Class gets some of the safety and convenience features of the next S-Class. They combine a host of comfort and safety features, all of which Mercedes-Benz refers to as “intelligent drive”. They include systems which for the first time can help to prevent accidents with crossing vehicles or pedestrians, active Lane Keeping Assist which can help to prevent accidents with oncoming traffic, or anti-glare continuous high-beam headlamps. As such Mercedes-Benz is underscoring its leading position as a safety pioneer. As always you get a range of petrol and diesel engines with this car, plus a hybrid variant right from the launch. The AMG version, however, is going to take like year or so to arrive.
