Fairfax Mercedes News: 2010 E-Class awarded IIHS top safety pick

No surprise here (except, maybe, for the companies the Mercedes E-Class competes with) as Mercedes was awarded a new spot on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Picks list. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Hyundai Genesis sedan were both chosen as Top Picks in the large cars category.

Mercedes has long been the glamorous car, from being featured in songs to showing up on the big screen, it's the luxury car Americans dream of and Mercedes-Benz has made it more accessible to many of us while increasing the safety and luxury of each model. The E-Class series certainly reflects this commitment to quality and now it's being recognized again within the auto industry. Fairfax Mercedes SLR-Class dealers are pleased with Mercedes showing and want customers to know how well their brand has been rated. Interestingly, along with the Mercedes E-Class was a relative newcomer to the large car category, the Hyundai Genesis.

Top Safety Picks only apply to cars built after January 2010. Mercedes-Benz has historically has strong safety performance and this year's list also included the Mercedes C-Class as a Top Pick in the midsize category. When visiting a Mercedes dealer, Virginia buyers will have plenty of Top Picks to choose from.

Fairfax Mercedes SLR-Class buyers should be familiar with the quality of Mercedes-Benz models from their safety standards to the luxurious interiors and cutting-edge technology in every system. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class scored a "good" rating in all categories, the highest rating given. Models for the previous three years had earned only "average" ratings in side-impact tests even with the use of side airbags. This year's Mercedes has definitely raised the bar. So the Mercedes E-Class is a Top Pick in safety, but what else do we get for the price? (The price range, by the way, is $48,050 to $85,750.) Seating for five and a choice of a sports coupe, luxury sports coupe, luxury sedan or luxury sports sedan with five trims from the E350 Coupe to the E63 AMG Sedan.

With a standard 3.5-liter V6 pulling 268 horsepower, the E-Class has pulls about 17 mpg city and 26 mph highway. A 7-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on the AMG Sedan while other models come with 7-speed automatic standard.

When comparing the Mercedes E-Class models at their Mercedes dealer, Virginia customers should take into consideration the merits of each trim. Customer should also note that the 2011 model is arriving and will have a different price range and some added amenities.

Regardless of the model you choose, the sleeker shape of the Mercedes-Benz models and the tradition behind this quality brand will provide durability, excellence in engineering and all-around quality. A broad chrome grille and dual headlights, a classic Mercedes look, will likely be part of the package too.
