Good Good Good Good Good Acceptable
Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
Test details:
The Mercedes E Class was redesigned for the 2003 model year. 2003 E Class models manufactured after December 2002 include structural changes to improve occupant protection in frontal offset crashes. (Note: Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door.)
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of an E Class with the structural changes in a 40 mph frontal offset crash test into a deformable barrier.
Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head moved partway out the open window and hit the B-pillar and window frame.
Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the B-pillar/window frame hit was low.

* Forces on the legs and feet were low, indicating that significant injury was unlikely. Larger photo

2006 Mercedes Benz E500 Pewter A2358
The badge E500 seems very unassuming. A letter and some numbers. What's so special about that? To put it very bluntly: everything. Your new Pewter 2006 Mercedes-Benz E500 with Keyless Go, Sunroof Package, and Wood Wheel is the epitome of special. From its comfortable power leather seats to its powerful 5.0L engine, Mercedes-Benz has gone the extra mile to make sure that you have everything you could want or need in a car. And of course, you'll also receive the joy that comes from the class and distinction associated with owning a prestigious world class Mercedes-Benz. Let's take a closer look at your new MB!
EXTERIOR: The PEWTER coat of paint on your new car is in very good condition. The color looks great on this car and it certainly stands out from the pack. The vehicle features an atlas grey grille with chrome ribs and surround. Halogen headlamps with polycarbonate lenses outfit the eye position lighting up the night and making you safely visible. There are also dual heated power mirrors with memory and integrated turn signals. When it rains, your car will also automatically turn on the dual aero-blade infrared windshield wipers with heated washer system so that you'll be even safer. The car is outfitted with 17" wheels that are wrapped with tires in very good condition. The gas mileage is rated at 25 highway miles per gallon. For a car with a 5.0L liter V8 engine putting out a whopping 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque that's not bad at all! This great engine features a driver adaptive 7-speed automatic transmission with Touch Shift. Your new E500 also comes with the remainder of its Mercedes-Benz 4 year/50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.

The front seats are ten-way power adjustable with three position memory and adjustable lumbar support! Walnut burl wood trim accents the interior and flows throughout the car. Everyone wants to stay comfortable in a car, and sometimes that's hard to do with just one control of the air conditioner. This E500 is equipped with automatic quad-zone climate control so that everyone in the car can feel as comfortable as possible. The beautiful upgraded wood and leather steering wheel (a $530 addition) features controls for the audio and multifunction display controls. Take a look at the shifter. You'll notice a button on it that says "Engine Start / Stop." This is part of the $1,080 factory Keyless Go system. You wont even have to put in your key to start the car! Just step on the brake and press the button and your car will sense that you have the key with you and will start up. How convenient! Everyone likes listening to some good tunes on their commute and Mercedes has provided just the system to make that possible. Your AM/FM stereo with CD player sounds great through nine speakers with four channel amp and automatic speed-sensitive volume adjustment. It even has a six-disc CD changer! As part of the $1,500 Sunroof Package, your new car comes outfitted with a power glass sunroof and very convenient power rear window sunshade. Your E500 also comes with the following features: power doors and windows, 4-way power tilt steering wheel, multifunction display, SmartKey system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, cruise control, touch turn signals, and Mercedes-Benz Maintenance System.
