Standard kit covers ABS, BAS, ESP, dual-stage front airbags, side airbags and windowbags.
Fuel options include gasoline V6/V8 and diesel BLUETEC with varying economy by engine.
Fuel use depends on the engine. Gasoline models like the E 350 deliver solid mid-range figures while the E 320 BLUETEC diesel stands out for longer range on a tank. Higher-output V8s trade some efficiency for stronger pull. Always match the grade to the listed requirement.
Servicing follows the ASSYST system that calculates the next visit from oil condition and how the car is driven. Expect oil and filter changes plus checks at flexible points rather than fixed short miles. Brake fluid and other fluids follow time-based schedules listed in the maintenance booklet.
Safety centers on a strong cell with PRE-SAFE that tightens belts and closes windows if a crash seems likely. Multiple airbags and active head restraints protect occupants. Crash tests show strong results in side and rollover with solid frontal scores.
Keeping the car means watching the ASSYST display and addressing items like air filters or spark plugs at the indicated points. Regular fluid top-ups and tire care help the air suspension and electronics stay reliable over high miles.
