There you go. Since I have a brown lower dashboard, bright colors like white or yellow are difficult to capture in pictures.

The video is not very good, therefore I won't upload it.

Nice! Is that the E class with the Night Package?

 

[sucu123]

Yes, all black everything

 

[fortuner]

Stunning ... Congrats.

As mentioned, the new in line 6 will also come with a standard mild hybrid, namely a starter-generator. This will offer up to 18 hp to assist the internal combustion part of the deal, while being able to work with 20 hp worth of regenerative braking.

The electric motor will only be able to assist the straight-six up to 2,000 rpm and won't offer an all-electric mode, because the system will lack a clutch and a properly-sized battery. After all, we are talking about a mild development, one that will involve a 0.9 kWh battery, but the carmaker promises efficiency improvement of between 10 and 15 percent, as well as improved low-end response.

The M256 will also lead the way in terms of gasoline engines being fitted with diesel unit-like particulate filters, thus offering extra assets that will allow it to meet future emission standards.

And 5 stars in the EuroNCAP crash tests for the new E:

Stuttgart. The E-Class Saloon has achieved a full five-star Euro NCAP rating, significantly exceeding the standards the independent safety test requires a vehicle to attain in order to be awarded five stars.

The E-Class's occupant safety, child safety, pedestrian protection and assistance systems have been awarded a five-star Euro NCAP rating. The Saloon was a particularly deserving recipient of this top rating since in the crash tests in all four categories it significantly outperformed the standard required by Euro NCAP in order to attain the top score of five stars.

Better than five stars

Category / Result E-Class / Five-star cut-off

Occupant safety / 95% / 80%

Child safety / 90% / 75%

Pedestrian protection / 77% / 60%

Assistance systems / 62% / 50%

The E-Class Saloon also achieved two Euro NCAP "Advanced" awards for PRE‑SAFE® and ATTENTION ASSIST – both awards go beyond the star rating and underline particular safety innovations.

Innovative assistance systems

The E-Class Saloon owes these impressive results primarily to the combination of its high-strength passenger safety cell with highly effective restraint systems and the large number of driver assistance systems on board. Active Brake Assist, for example, is a standard feature. It is able to warn the driver of impending collisions, provide support with emergency braking and, if necessary, apply the brakes autonomously. Likewise included as standard are ATTENTION ASSIST with adjustable sensitivity, which can warn the driver of inattentiveness and drowsiness, and Crosswind Assist.

Other driver assistance systems are available as an option, including DRIVE PILOT, which marks a further milestone on the road to automated driving, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist and Traffic Sign Assist with wrong-way warning function. Some of these optional systems, however, have not yet been taken into consideration in the Euro NCAP assessment.

Active and passive safety are intelligently combined with the PRE-SAFE® system, which is able to recognise critical situations on the road and, where there is the threat of an accident, trigger preventive measures to protect the occupants. PRE‑SAFE® Impulse Side is available as an option for the E-Class for the first time. If it detects the immediate threat of a lateral collision, this new subsystem is able to move the driver or front passenger away from the danger zone as a preventive measure, effectively creating a virtual crumple zone for the side of the vehicle. Another new feature is the standard PRE-SAFE® Sound system. Immediately before a collision it can trigger a natural protective reflex in the ear, preparing the occupants for the noise of the accident in order to reduce potential damage to their hearing.

Protection for more vulnerable road users

Mercedes-Benz takes the protection of more vulnerable road users such as children very seriously. This also applies to pedestrians and cyclists. The E-Class Saloon features an active bonnet which can be raised 80 millimetres during an impact to provide additional deformation space. In addition Active Brake Assist is not only able to recognise slow-moving, stopping or stationary vehicles but also pedestrians crossing in the danger zone in front of the vehicle and can brake autonomously to prevent a collision with a pedestrian. With features such as these, the E-Class's impressive pedestrian protection standards far exceed statutory requirements.

Real life safety – the holistic safety philosophy

The E-Class Saloon's success in the Euro NCAP rating is the result of Mercedes‑Benz's holistic safety philosophy. Instead of focusing solely on rating requirements, the company uses findings from its own accident research to develop internal test standards and test criteria that go beyond what is required by law.

 

[Mick Briesgau]

The holistic safety philosophy of Mercedes-Benz is so much more important, than just fulfilling the rating requirements. If I'm not mistaking, Volvo is the only other brand following the same philosophy as Mercedes-Benz. It would be interesting to see the NCAP resultats of the E-klasse and the S90 side-by-side. Has anyone seen or read the S90 results?

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

I think Mercedes and Volvo have both had to adapt their vehicles to ensure they perform well during the NCAP testing. I hope they haven't compromised real world performance, which was their previous focus, to achieve this.

Watch the final 20 seconds of the video. I don't know, but somehow I have this silly thought of wanting to be a dummy for the AEB Pedestrian crash test along with Scott27 and Klier. I'm pretty sure I'd push Scott27 onto the bonnet of the oncoming E-Class and then throw Klier under the car and then laugh uncontrollably for the next 30 minutes....................I don't know what I had for breakfast this morning.

I can't think of new engines other than the new in line 6 and 4.

The air pollution in HK is taking effect.
