2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Trims and Specs

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 is no base trim level, with a list of features and amenities that would make most top-tier trims cringe in jealousy. Powered by a 3.5-liter V6, the E350 gets a shiftable 7–speed automatic transmission. Open the door and you’ll be greeted by dual-zone automatic climate control, vinyl upholstery and 14-way power front bucket seats. The front seats, heated power mirrors and power tilt and telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel are all controlled by a standard memory system. Wood interior trim evokes the luxury Mercedes hopes to achieve, backed up by features like a full power package including sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, Bluetooth and a 6-CD and MP3 player. Cruise control, tachometer and trip computer are all included, of course. You’ll also get daytime running lights, automatic headlights and front and rear foglights.

Safety is a similarly thorough affair, with traction and stability control standard, as well as driver fatigue alert, a pre-crash safety system, four-wheel antilock discs with brake assist and a myriad of airbags including front, front-side, front hip-protecting, driver’s knee, and front and rear curtain bags.

With Mercedes’ 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system, the 2011 E350 4Matic Wagon offers stability coupled with utility on a powerful platform: 3.5-liter V6 power, to be exact, here mated to a shiftable seven-speed automatic transmission. Along with AWD, you’ll also get the mbrace assist system, a power liftgate with rear wiper and washer combo, as well as an automatic and adjustable suspension with height control. Luxury features are still here, with dual-zone automatic climate controls, dual 14-way power heated front bucket seats, leather-wrapped power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and a memory system for the seats, steering wheel and heated power mirrors. The power package also includes a power sunroof. There are rain-sensing wipers, cruise control, tachometer, a trip computer and a 6-CD and MP3 player with Bluetooth. Daytime running lights, automatic headlights and front and rear foglights are standard features, as well as a long list of safety features. In addition to stability and traction control you’ll get four-wheel antilock disc brakes with assist, driver fatigue alert, a pre-crash safety system and 11 airbags including driver’s knee, front hip and front and rear curtain sides.
