Juffali launches new Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Juffali Automtoive Company (JACO), the sole dealer of Mercedes-Benz cars in Saudi Arabia, has introduced the all-new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which comes with new, efficient engines, new assistance systems and a new design idiom. Mercedes-Benz has comprehensively modernized the E-Class to extend its leading position in the luxury segment even further.
Safi Kobais, GM, Juffali Automotive Company, said: "In the Saloon and Estate models, no less than 11 new or optimized assistance systems from the future S-Class celebrate their world premiere. They combine a host of comfort and safety features, all of which Mercedes-Benz refers to as "intelligent drive."
"For the first time, the E-Class is equipped with systems that 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," he added.
He further noted that Mercedes-Benz is underscoring its leading position as a safety pioneer. The new E-Class makes a significant step forward when it comes to efficiency and ecology too. This comes courtesy of new, powerful BlueDIRECT four-cylinder petrol engines featuring sophisticated direct injection technology. This powerful development boost is reflected to exciting effect in the design of the E-Class. With its new design the E-Class encapsulates efficiency, intelligence and emotional appeal in a visually superior manner.
The E-Class features a new front-end design as well as new proportions through intelligent changes. When it came to the modifications, the designers followed the new Mercedes design idiom and reinterpreted the classical design values of the brand using the existing basis. The result is a superior and refined, sporty appearance.
The new E-Class is already fitted with a comprehensive series of high-quality appointments as standard. The new optional highlights, meanwhile, include Hands-Free Access. This enables the boot lid to be opened and closed without actual physical contact by simply holding your foot beneath the bumper, and is therefore extremely convenient when loading and unloading the vehicle.
The car comes in three different engines. The first is a 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine and produces 211 hp, 350 nm torque. The second is a 3.5 liter, V6 and produces 252 hp and 340 nm torque. The third is 4.7-liter, V8 and produces 408 hp and 600 nm torque.
Mercedes-Benz will also offer two transmissions for the E-Class in the future — a six-speed manual transmission with high ease of shifting and short shift travel, and the 7G-Tronic Plus automatic transmission with Direct Select lever and Direct Select shift paddles. This latest stage of evolution of the 7G-Tronic Plus provides significant advantages in terms of efficiency and ease of maintenance.
A new feature is the short-term M mode. The benefit of this is if the driver has shifted up or down manually after a set period of time, the transmission independently switches back to automatic, fuel-efficient shift mode.
Traction and driving stability can also be improved in the new E-Class with the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system — particularly in difficult road conditions.
