Andrew Chesterton road tests and reviews the Mercedes-Benz E400 with specs, fuel consumption and verdict. • Read Andrew's full review here: http://carsgui.de/2ocpdvy • See more at the CarsGuide E-Class hub: http://carsgui.de/2nkIM0G • Check out other luxury cars here: http://carsgui.de/2lu7CcL • - - - - - - - - - • It's definitely possible that the Mercedes E400 4Matic is smarter than me. But I wouldn't be laughing if I was you, because its entirely possible that its smarter than you, too. And that's because this is the new ground zero in the battle for best in-car technology, and Mercedes has thrown everything they've got at it to tackle the best from BMW and Audi. it drives itself, parks itself, changes lanes on demand and will scream to a complete stop from 100km/h in an emergency without you having to touch the brake. And that's only part of it. • So lets take it for a spin. Or have it take us for a spin. Or something. • But before we get to all of that, let's talk power. The E400 4Matic is the top of the pops in the E-Class line-up, apart from the AMG-stamped models, of course, so it gets a hugely entertaining twin-turbo V6 that will send its power to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. And that means a sub-six-second 0-100km/h time and a limited top speed of 210km/h. So it's quick. • Design is hugely subjective, of course, but we're head over heels with the look of this thing. Those AMG-stamped alloys are 20 inches, there's 84 individual LEDs in the headlights, that panoramic glass sunroof is standard fit and these strips here are polished aluminium. But more than that, the design just works. It looks at once both polished and purposeful. • Elsewhere, expect a 13-speaker Burmester stereo, leather upholstery, dual-zone climate-control and the usual scattering of niceties you might expect to find in a circa-$140k car. • Ok, so lets talk about the whole smarts thing we mentioned. Most of it falls under Merc's safety umbrella, and its impressive. Expect lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring and 360-degree reversing cameras and the like, but this is also the closet thing to an autonomous car that Merc's got in its family. So it will keep up with traffic on the highway, and keep within the lane markings, but it will also change lanes for you when you hit the indicator, and scream to a stop if there;s an emergency. If it senses a t-bone collision, it will move you away from the point of impact. And if it senses a rear collision, a high-pitched sound will play through the speakers, preparing you ears for the sound of the impact and minimising the chance of eardrum damage • But the E-Class's true party trick is its ability to drive mostly autonomously along Australia's endless freeways. Like most, it will keep up with traffic and stay within the lines, but it will also change lanes for you when you hold down the indicator stalk. Its a cool - if a touch scary on a rainy and grey Sydney day - trick, but if we're honest, its difficult to know when you might actually use it. Either way, though, it does nudge us ever closer to an autonomous future. • CarsGuide - Buy cars. Sell cars.
