Mercedes’ elegant and capable mid-size sedan and wagon is refreshed for 2007 with exterior styling changes that include a new front bumper and lower air dam, revised grille, headlights, and tail-lights. All ’07 models are equipped with a standard sunroof and upgraded Harmon Kardon stereo with six-disc CD-changer — as well as a PRE SAFE collision-anticipation system that prepares the car’s safety systems when an imminent crash is anticipated. Model designations are shifted for 2007 as well. The E500 is replaced by a new E550, with a standard 382 hp V-8 vs. the 302 hp V-8 in last year’s E500. An updated AMG version of the E-Class is on deck for later in the model year, as well as a new diesel E-Class. A Sport package is available that adds specific 18-inch wheels, lowered sport-tuned suspension, dual chrome exhaust tips, and Birdseye maple trim for the interior. Standard safety items include four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and Brake Assist, side-impact and head-curtain airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Automatic Slip Control, and active head restraints to help reduce whiplash injuries. Optional amenities include a navigation system, adaptive cruise control, heated seats and steering wheel, and a power trunk closer. 2007 models all get an iPod operating interface that integrates the portable MP3 player with the car’s audio system.
