Driving safety focuses on protecting human life in todays congested and predominantly individual motor traffic. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.2 million people died on the worlds roads last year. This means that there were roughly 3300 traffic fatalities every day. And it is estimated that at least another 50 million people suffered injury in such accidents. 50 million people that is more or less the population of South Korea.

The interior gets a thorough makeover and now has a hint of the E-Class. The dashboard looks more modern , sophisticated and a lot more appealing.

Sitting in the middle is a high-definition colour display similar to the 'E' and the music system switches are neatly stacked below it. The new steering loses a spoke , gets brush metal treatment and looks sportier. No pedal shifts on the steering , but you can nudge the gear stick to shift up or down. The front seats have electrically adjustable height , lumbar support and backrest and offer adequate bolstering. The rear seats , however , have a short squab , which limits under-thigh support , although the legroom and backrest angle are just about right. The infotainment system also doubles as a Sat-Nav system and can also connect to your phone using the Bluetooth. In spite of being right at the bottom of Mercedes-Benz's impressive line-up , the interior quality and overall finish is second to none.
