Intelligent Drive

Hi all,
I'm in the market for a 2017 E400, test drove an E300 with the Intelligent Drive Package.
Upon ordering my E400, it appears MB have quietly scrapped the Intelligent Drive Package as it is now not-orderable, despite all the hype about it, with commercials for the E-Class still airing today.
No further explanation from MB, and dealer didn't even know about it.
Does anybody with a 2017 E-Class have any experience with this package ?
Anybody have any insight as to why it is no longer available, or if it will be available perhaps in the future?

Thank you.

I noticed the same thing. The configurator on the website changed a few weeks ago to remove the intelligent drive package and it also requires the exclusive package if you want the technology package. This wasn't required before.

The E43 order guide does have the intelligent drive package though.

Here is what the US order guide says:



P03 lists P20 Driver Assistance Package Plus for E300 and E43:

I believe it's for Airmatic adjustable suspension.

And this from the Canadian product guide:
Unfortunately, as of build date September, dealers can no longer order the Intelligent Drive Package, a phone call to MB Canada confirmed this.

16 C450, 17 E43 (on order)
Any news on why? Is there a mid-year change in the features? E43 order slots haven't been opened yet and I consider IDP to be an essential package.
