Mercedes-Benz W212

Mercedes-Benz W212
The Mercedes-Benz W212 is an internal Daimler Benz code for a sedan sold as the ninth-generation E-Class, replacing previous W211 models. C207 is the chassis code for the related E-Class Coupe, a replacement for the CLK-class coupe and cabriolet. The new E-Class went on sale in Europe in March and in America in July 2009.



Design

Design work began in 2004 after the development program commenced in 2003, with the design by Thomas Stopka being selected in 2005.After refinements and engineering considerations being made, the final design specifications were frozen in 2006.
Certain elements of the exterior styling are taken from the preceding W204 C-Class and W221 S-Class each designed in 2002 and 2003. The bulging rear wheel arches are meant to be reminiscent of the fender flares of historic "Ponton" Mercedes models of the 1950s. The design of the W212 and C207 E-Class was previewed by the ConceptFASCINATION design study in September 2008.

The E-class saloon was unveiled at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. The new saloon went on sale in Europe in March, 2009 as a 2010 model year automobile.The new E-Class features several new safety technologies including driver fatigue detection, lane-departure warning, and traffic-sign recognition. It also includes features that improve performance, efficiency, and comfort, such as "Direct Control" adaptive suspension, active seats (which change shape to support the passengers in corners), and movable radiator louvers which improve the vehicle's aerodynamics.
Standard Mercedes-Benz safety and convenience features, such as the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), airbags, and automatic climate control, are included as well.
