The E-Class offers a choice of transmission options so you can choose the solution that best suits you, from the all-new six-speed manual gearbox or our unique 7G-Tronic 7-speed automatic transmission.

Both transmission options come with Speedtronic variable speed cruise control. Allowing you to either select the speed you wish to maintain or store the maximum speed at which you would like to travel.

7G-Tronic is another Mercedes-Benz world first. This automatic transmission has 7 forward gears for smoother faster gear changes. The use of seven transmission ratios creates a larger spread between the lowest and the highest ratio while at the same time maintaining an optimal, close-ratio configuration. The reduction in average engine speeds benefits fuel consumption as well as reducing noise. 7G-Tronic also includes Tipfunction which allows you to select the most appropriate ratio manually. Sport models with automatic transmission also feature steering wheel gearshift paddles for fingertip shifting precision.
