Interior Features

The interior features four retractable cup holders. Audio volume adjusts to driving speed, and the three button garage door control is programmable. Dual climate controls let driver and passenger select temperatures individually. Auto-dimming inside and left-side rearview mirrors darken automatically to help cut glare.

Standard power front seats are 10-way adjustable and include handy 3-position memory. The air your breathe is filtered through an integrated electronic dust filter to reduce pollen and other particles, while activated charcoal filter keeps odors out of the cabin. The E-Class is CFC free, including air conditioning, parts, materials and processes.

A ring of fiber optics connects the in-dash control unit with Bose amplifier and trunk-mounted CD changer. A standard 4 in 1 control panel features four keys that change function to match the mode, and a memory keypad that lets you direct-dial radio stations by frequency. Auto reverse cassette deck hides behind the display. The convenient switches on the steering wheel put the most used functions at hand.

The 3.2 liter V-6 in the E320 generates 221 hp at 5,600 rpm, kicking out an inspired 232 lb-ft of peak torque that starts at just 3,000 rpm and continues all the way up to 4,800 rpm.
