While it seems like folly to already be talking about a 2017 model year vehicle like the upcoming 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, based on the information that we've been given so far it certainly does look like this will be a game-changing automobile for the brand and perhaps even the industry thanks to its massive list of new technologies. It truly is impressive, and certainly worth getting excited about.

This model is not available for purchase yet, but here's a peek at a few of the highlights we can look forward to, courtesy of AutoBlog:
  • Remote control parking thanks to an available smartphone app.
  • Remote locking and unlocking of the vehicle using the same smartphone app.
  • 84-LED adaptive headlights.
  • The ability to communicate traffic and weather conditions to a cloud-based service that makes real-time traffic and GPS as accurate as possible.
  • Pre-collision adjustments, especially in the case of pedestrians.
  • Adaptive cruise control that can set speed based on road signs that it identifies itself.
  • Adaptive steering that can follow a vehicle, even when the road doesn't have markings to guide it otherwise.
  • Cross-traffic alert system with emergency braking.
  • Rear-seat seatbelt airbags.
  • An audio system that manipulates passengers' eardrums to prevent hearing loss following a crash.
For the most part, these are all safety and convenience-based features, which means fans of Mercedes-Benz in Florida can look forward to even more amazing things when information starts to leak in regards to drivetrain, infotainment and the like.

This is going to be an amazing car, and we say that now only knowing a little about what it will be able to do!
