Compared to the BMW 5-Series, Audi A6, and Volvo V90, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class makes a strong case for itself with a 9-speed automatic and an interior lighting system with 64 selectable colors. PRESAFE® Sound offers greater protection than the three competitors’ pre-collision systems, keeping you safer on Los Angeles roads. As an extension of PRESAFE®, PRESAFE® Sound is triggered if a collision is imminent, and plays a “pink noise” through the audio system to prepare occupants’ ears for the sound of an impact.
To see what makes the new E-Class such a tough competitor, compare the E-Class to the Lexus GS, then take it for a test drive at Mercedes-Benz of Temecula!
