Melbourne – Australia’s best selling mid-size luxury saloon has had a sporty
edge added to its character with the arrival of two new Sports Packages now

Packages will be available for the E 200 KOMPRESSOR saloon, E 350 and E 500

The Sports Package accentuates the dynamic character of the E-Class and

wide-base tyres in size 245/40 R 18 at the front and 265/35R 18 at the rear. The
Sports Package also boasts a sportier suspension and ten per cent more direct
steering ratio (14.7:1) with a speed-dependent function.
Other features include a 4-spoke sports multi-function steering wheel,
headlamp cleaning system in conjunction with Elegance and Avantgarde model

styling consisting of both a front and rear apron, AMG twin-pipe exhaust system
with chrome AMG tailpipes, 18” AMG light alloy wheels with a 5-spoke design and

Sanden, managing director of the Mercedes Car Group for Australia.
