The 2010 E 350 Benz stands as a notable model in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup, offering a blend of luxury and performance. As standard, the E 350 comes well-equipped with features designed for comfort and convenience. These include 17-inch wheels, adding to its sophisticated stance, and a sunroof to bring in natural light and fresh air. Inside, drivers benefit from a power tilt-telescoping steering wheel, ensuring an optimal driving position, and power front seats with memory functions, allowing for personalized comfort settings to be easily recalled.
The cabin of the 2010 E 350 Benz is upholstered with MB-Tex premium vinyl, which provides a durable and elegant alternative to leather. Dual-zone automatic climate control ensures that both driver and passenger can set their preferred temperatures. Auto-dimming mirrors enhance visibility and safety by reducing glare from headlights behind. The COMAND electronic interface system is central to managing the car’s infotainment and settings. For connectivity and entertainment, Bluetooth is included, along with an eight-speaker stereo system that features an in-dash six-CD changer and an auxiliary audio jack, catering to various audio sources.
For those considering the coupe version of the 2010 E 350 Benz, there are some distinct differences. The E 350 Coupe boasts a panoramic sunroof, creating an even more open and airy feel. Leather upholstery comes standard in the coupe, along with sport seats that offer enhanced bolstering. Interestingly, the coupe is equipped with a single-CD player, a slight variation from the sedan’s six-CD changer.
Moving beyond the standard offerings, the 2010 E 350 Benz provided opportunities for further customization through packages and stand-alone options. Sport packages were available for both the E 350 and E550 sedans, adding 18-inch wheels for a more aggressive look, a sport-tuned suspension for sharper handling, a sport steering wheel, and unique interior trim accents. For enhanced features, the Premium 1 Package, applicable to all E 350 and E550 models, included a hard-drive-based navigation system, voice commands for easier control, a rearview camera for parking assistance, heated front seats (for the E 350 sedan and all coupes), ventilated front seats (in all sedans), a power rear sunshade for added rear passenger comfort, and a Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system complete with digital music storage, HD radio, satellite radio, and an iPod/MP3 player interface.
The Premium 2 package expanded on the Premium 1 offerings by adding adaptive bi-xenon headlights and adaptive high-beam assist for improved nighttime visibility, LED daytime running lamps for a modern aesthetic, a power trunk closer (sedan only) for convenience, keyless ignition/entry for ease of use, and ventilated seats (for coupes). For added safety in the sedan, the Driver Assistance package incorporated a blind-spot warning system, adaptive cruise control, and a lane-departure warning system.
Stand-alone options for the 2010 E 350 Benz sedan included parking sensors to further aid in maneuvering, an infrared night-vision display for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, a panoramic sunroof, split-folding rear seats for increased cargo flexibility, a rear-seat entertainment system, expanded leather upholstery options, and a multicontour driver seat with massage function for ultimate comfort.
While the E 350 offered a strong foundation of features, models like the E550 and E63 AMG provided even higher performance and additional luxury amenities. The E550, for instance, upgraded to a V8 engine and added features like air suspension and leather upholstery as standard. The E63 AMG represented the high-performance variant, boasting a larger V8 engine and performance-oriented upgrades throughout. However, the 2010 E 350 Benz remained a compelling choice, delivering a well-rounded luxury experience with a variety of customization options to suit individual preferences.
