The 2010 Mercedes-benz E 350 stands as a testament to luxury and sophisticated engineering, offering a compelling blend of comfort, technology, and performance. This model year presents a range of features and options designed to cater to discerning drivers seeking a premium driving experience.
The standard 2010 E 350 sedan is well-equipped right from the start. It rolls on 17-inch wheels and features a sunroof to brighten the cabin. Drivers will appreciate the convenience of a power tilt-telescoping steering wheel and power front seats with memory settings, ensuring personalized comfort. Inside, the E 350 boasts MB-Tex premium vinyl upholstery and dual-zone automatic climate control for a pleasant environment. Auto-dimming mirrors enhance visibility, while the COMAND electronic interface system integrates vehicle controls. For entertainment and connectivity, Bluetooth and an eight-speaker stereo system with an in-dash six-CD changer and auxiliary audio jack are included.
Stepping into the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E 350 Coupe reveals a sportier take on luxury. While sharing many similarities with the sedan, the coupe distinguishes itself with a panoramic sunroof, luxurious leather upholstery, and sport seats for enhanced lateral support during spirited driving. Interestingly, the coupe features a single-CD player, a slight variation from the sedan’s six-CD changer.
For those desiring more power, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz lineup offered the E 550. Compared to the E 350 sedan, the E 550 significantly upgrades performance with a robust V8 engine. It also includes an air suspension for a smoother ride, an upgraded braking system for confident stopping power, and elevates interior luxury with leather upholstery and heated seats for added comfort in colder climates. The E 550 coupe takes a sportier direction with 18-inch wheels, a distinctive sport body kit, a sport suspension for sharper handling, and shift paddles for a more engaging driving experience. However, it forgoes the heated seats found in the E 550 sedan.
To further personalize the 2010 E 350 and E 550 sedans, Mercedes-Benz offered Sport packages. These packages enhance the visual appeal and driving dynamics with 18-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension for more agile handling, a sport steering wheel, and unique interior trim accents.
For those seeking top-tier features, the Premium 1 Package was available across all 2010 E 350 and E 550 models. This package adds significant technology and comfort enhancements, including a hard-drive-based navigation system for seamless route guidance, voice commands for hands-free control, and a rearview camera for easier parking maneuvers. Heated front seats were included for the E 350 sedan and all coupe models within this package, while ventilated front seats were added for all sedans. Additional premium features include a power rear sunshade for enhanced rear passenger comfort and a Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system with digital music storage, HD radio, satellite radio, and an iPod/MP3 player interface for a superior audio experience.
The Premium 2 package further expands on the Premium 1 offerings. It includes all the features of Premium 1 and adds advanced lighting technology with adaptive bi-xenon headlights, adaptive high-beam assist for optimized nighttime visibility, and stylish LED daytime running lamps. For sedan models, a power trunk closer adds convenience, while keyless ignition/entry simplifies vehicle access and operation. Ventilated seats are also included for coupes within the Premium 2 package. For enhanced safety, the sedan’s Driver Assistance package incorporates a blind-spot warning system, adaptive cruise control for maintaining a set distance from the vehicle ahead, and a lane-departure warning system.
Beyond packages, stand-alone options for the 2010 E 350 sedan allowed for further customization. These included parking sensors for enhanced parking assistance, an infrared night-vision display for improved visibility in low-light conditions, a panoramic sunroof for an open and airy feel, practical split-folding rear seats for increased cargo versatility, a rear-seat entertainment system for passenger enjoyment, expanded leather upholstery for a more luxurious interior ambiance, and a multicontour driver seat with massage function for ultimate driving comfort.
At the pinnacle of the 2010 E-Class performance range is the E 63 AMG. This model incorporates all the equipment of the E 550 and elevates performance to exhilarating levels with a larger, more powerful V8 engine, a sport transmission for rapid gear changes, adjustable drive settings to tailor the driving experience, an adaptive sport suspension for exceptional handling, high-performance brakes for superior stopping power, and a sport steering wheel for enhanced driver control. The E 63 AMG’s Premium 1 package is streamlined, including only the navigation system, rearview camera, and voice commands, as many other features are already standard on this high-performance model. The Premium 2 package and most of the stand-alone options available on other E-Class models are also offered for the E 63 AMG, allowing for further personalization. For the ultimate in performance enhancements, the AMG Performance package adds 19-inch wheels, a limited-slip differential for improved traction, even sportier suspension tuning for track-ready handling, and a leather/Alcantara steering wheel for a premium sporty feel.
The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E 350, along with its E-Class siblings, offers a wide spectrum of choices, from the well-appointed standard model to the high-performance AMG variant, ensuring a luxury vehicle to suit a variety of preferences and needs.
