New E450 saves your foot!
Yes, the 2022 E450 (mine is the All Terrain) really does save my foot. My right foot gets 'over tired' from holding down the brake during long traffic light periods.
On past cars, I would shift into neutral and could then remove my foot (on level ground).
The E450 has a unique feature I didn't even know about. It is called the 'HOLD' feature and it is pure simplicity to use.
At a stop, very firmly depress the brake pedal. On the instrument panel, you will see the word "HOLD" appear. You can now remove you fool and relax it. The instant you then touch the accelerator pedal, the brak=es instantly release. Pure Mercedes genius!
Watch this very brief video for a clear illustration.

Yup! Can't drive a car without the hold feature any more. It's not a new thing though, our old Japanese. I kinda like the implementation in those cars more. You press the hold button once and then it'll hold the brakes every time you come to a complete stop without having to pump the brake pedal.
