Baku. Nijat Mustafayev â€“ APA-Economics. AutoStar Kaukasus, the official distributor of German-made luxury brand Mercedes-Benz cars, has delivered an official presentation of a new E-Class flagship model E-300 and E-350 in Baku.
Joachim Traenkle, Director General of AutoStar Kaukasus, said the new model is setting the standard in terms of safety, comfort, reliability and advanced technology.
â€œWe are very pleased to present this model here. I am convinced that will be as popular as it predecessors,â€ he added.
Speaking about the modelâ€™s features, he said the sedan further emphasizes the leading position held by Mercedes-Benz in the luxury class, with a unique combination of driver assistance systems. These include ATTENTION ASSIST, Adaptive High Beam Assist, Speed Limit Assist and Pre-safe technologies.
In his words, Mercedes-Benz improved the already exemplary long-distance comfort of the E-Class even further in the new sedan. Advances include intelligent bodyshell technology with up to 30 percent greater stiffness, further improved seats and a newly developed suspension system with shock absorbers that automatically adjust to the driving situation.
Other measures include energy-saving control of the alternator, fuel pump, air conditioning pump and power steering.
Displays in the speedometer inform the driver how much fuel is being consumed, and advise when to shift up a gear to maintain a more efficient driving style.
The outstanding safety and comfort of the E-Class are matched by its environmental compatibility and economy.
The new E-Class sedan has outstanding fuel economy. The four- and six-cylinder engines have direct injection systems and consume up to 23 percent less fuel than their predecessors.
With a drag coefficient of only 0.25, the new E-Class is the world’s most aerodynamically efficient luxury sedan. It betters its predecessor’s already excellent Cd figure by another four percent.
Depending on features, the selling prices of E-300 and E-350 are â‚¬70 000 and â‚¬80 000 in Azerbaijan.
AutoStar Kaukasus has been in operation since 2001. The company operates two sales centers in Baku.
