The Mercedes-Benz E-Class combines luxury and elegance making it an ideal choice for chauffer driven transport 

Comfort is essential as is a smooth ride and, in this era of constant connectivity, the importance of internet and phone capabilities cannot be underestimated. If there is the option of somewhere to keep the champagne chilled and the entertainment options are high-tech, then all the better.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is not flashy neither is it trashy. It’s not the car for the executive who wants to announce their arrival with all the bells ringing and the whistles blowing. But, sitting as it does on 18-inch alloy wheels, it is subtle, stylish and reliable. With multi-chamber air suspension, and a lovely, quiet cabin, it is a relaxing car for the driver as well as offering a quiet work space for the passenger. Sprinting up to 100km/h in around seven seconds, it’s no world record holder but no slouch on the motorway either.

Infotainment is the buzzword for in-car amusement and connectivity. Mercedes-Benz has developed the COMAND Online system. This means phone can be charged and connected to the exterior aerial with no cables or wires via a charging pad on the centre console. At the top of the range, the E-Class comes equipped with the Burmester 3D surround system with 23 speakers.
