Video: 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400: 5 Cool Features — Cars.com

This one has almost $25,000 in optional features that push the as tested price to nearly $87,000. For that kind of money you should expect a little, wait, a lot more. Here are five cool features that stand out. For $950 you can get the multi-contour front seats that include familiar adjustments like lumbar and side bolsters. And in addition to that, they offer four massage programs for both the driver's seat and the front passenger seat to help keep you relaxed behind the wheel. The harsh reality of winter has hit much of the country by now, and many people in its grips are no doubt enjoying their heated seats if their car has them. The E400 offers heated seats too, and in addition to that, you can get heated armrests in the door, in the center console for an extra $800. It might seem like a small thing, but it makes a big difference when the temperatures drop. The E400 comes with a standard 12.3 inch center multimedia screen that's among the biggest in its class. But in addition to that, you can get a second 12.3 inch screen in place of traditional instruments. The digital instrument panel has crisp graphics, just like the center screen, has different layouts where you can customize the appearance, and shows a lot of different information, including the navigation map right in front of you. It costs $6,600 as part of the premium II package, but that also includes a lot of other safety, convenience, and technology features. The $1,900 air body control adaptive air suspension is far from pillowy, it skews firm even in the cars comfort mode, but the controlled responses suit this coupe well. It also includes adjustable ride height, and it's designed to limit body roll in corners for better control. The optional full-speed adaptive cruise control will bring the E400 to a stop in heavy traffic if it needs to. And it also includes steering assist, that'll automatically turn the steering wheel to keep the car in its lane. It works in tighter turns too, not just gradual ones. So you have to keep at least one hand on the steering wheel. This convenience feature doesn't come cheap though, as it's part of the optional $10,200 premium III package. You should expect a lot from a near $87,000 luxury coupe, and the E400 mostly delivers, with its blend of high-tech features and traditional luxury appointments backed by an enjoyable driving experience. If you're looking for some automotive me time, it's not a bad way to go.
