Passenger comfort is provided by seats with active ventilation and a lot of backrest and cushion adjustments. Inside the seat there are light inflatable air cushions, a pneumatic massager and fans (pic. 1.5).
In the Mercedes E-class cabin, people of different heights and weights feel comfortable. If, for example, the driver has a height of 1.99 m, then there is enough space in the back for a passenger of average height.
Despite the fact that the external dimensions of the Mercedes E-Class exceed the previous model by only 50 mm, there is much more space in its cabin. This was achieved through the following changes:
- 1. Cabin width at elbows and shoulders increased by 11 mm. The rear of the cabin has a width of 1450 mm, which is 34 mm more than in the car of the previous class.
- 2. The distance between the passengers of the front and rear seats has been increased by 33 mm and is 840 mm.
- 3. The distance at the level of the knees of the rear passengers is increased by 44 mm.
- 4. The height of the cabin in the area of the head of the passenger in the front seat is increased by 22 mm and is 997 mm. In the rear, it is 970 mm, which in relation to the previous model gives a gain of 12 mm.
