Moderate overlap front: original test
Rating applies to 2010-17 models
Tested vehicle: 2010 Mercedes Benz E 350 Coupe 2-door
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class was redesigned for the 2010 model year. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Mercedes-Benz as part of frontal crash test verification.
