DT Dobie has launched the latest version of its Mercedes E-Class models.
he updated models of the E-Class, the E200, E250 and E300, are now available at the dealer’s showrooms in Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu and Nairobi’s Lusaka and Westlands branches.
The price of the E200 starts from €89,000 (Sh9.8 million) while E250 sells from €97,000 (Sh10.7 million), with customers going for extra specifications and fittings to pay more.
While E200 has a two-litre 184 horsepower petrol engine, E250 has 211 horsepower while for E300 it has a 242 horsepower.
The introduction of the latest models follows the launch of seven different Mercedes Benz SUVs earlier this year. These range from the compact GLA to the large and luxurious GLS and are equipped with fuel efficient petrol engines and 4-MATIC intelligent 4X4 drive systems.
One of the key new safety systems available is the Pre-Safe Impulsive Side which upon the car detecting a side collision, the vehicle’s seat will inflate the side bolsters to move the occupant towards the centre of the vehicle.
This furthers the distance of the door from the occupant, thus minimizing the effects of the crash.
Buyers will choose between the classic Mercedes look with a star on the bonnet and the sporty design with a prominent star embedded in the grille.
