Unlike the new BMW 5-Series, Audi A6, and Volvo V90, the E-Class comes with a 9-speed automatic, a 12.3-inch display, and dazzling 64-color ambient lighting. The fact is: the new E-Class holds an ace over most of the vehicles in its segment, offering features that simply can’t be found outside of Mercedes-Benz.
