7th July, 2013
With the launch of the W204 in 2007 Mercedes-Benz Australia announced a
‘First Choice strategy’ with a clear commitment to enhancing equipment and minimising price increases. On every single
model that has been launched locally since the W204 there has been increased equipment combined with either held or
reduced pricing delivering substantial customer advantage in the value equation. The
new E-Class is no exception!
Horst von Sanden, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz passenger cars said while announcing pricing and specifications
of the new E-Class range. “There has been a lot of discussion and opinion that the large car segment is less relevant
to the Australian new car purchaser. We don’t accept this assertion and with the new E-Class we have specified the new
range assertively with luxury, convenience and safety equipment that we believe will ensure that the large prestige car
segment buyer has never been delivered better value. There has never been an E-Class range as comprehensively equipped
with safety and convenience inclusions, environmentally friendly engines and class leading fuel economy and emissions in
the history of the E-Class. All of the E-Class range from the E200 to the E63 AMG benefit from additional safety and
convenience equipment that delivers a net customer advantage from $7,000 (E200) to $23,000 (E250CDI Estate).
The new generation E-Class Saloon & Estate heralds a bold new positioning in the market. We are demonstrating that
technology benefits the consumer in providing safer, cleaner and better value cars. Underpinning the new market
positioning is a laser focus on improved value and dynamic styling across the entire E-Class range. The intrinsic value
and prestige of the E-Class has taken a quantum leap. We have set a new large car benchmark of 4.3l/100km and 113g C02
which is remarkable for a car the size, luxury, safety and equipment of the E300 BlueTec Hybrid. It’s a big car for a big
country but without the big car thirst”.

The hybrid is unique, as the combustion engine is diesel, rather than typical petrol hybrid engines. This concept
combines the excellent fuel economy of a powerful 4-cylinder diesel engine (over long distances at high speed) with the
advantages of an efficient hybrid in city (stop & go) traffic.

compartment capacity remain unchanged. The combined fuel figure of 4.3l/100km sets a new benchmark in fuel efficiency
and emissions in the large car segment.
