News from Italy: Pilato in partnership with Superior UK are building a flagship limousine to complement the Polaris hearse
January 2019 saw the start of a very exciting project between Pilato in Italy and Superior UK (as Pilato’s first and only official agent). The Pilato range already includes the stunning high-end Polaris E-Class hearse. Thanks to close collaboration between Superior UK and Pilato, there will soon be an E-class limousine. Watch this space for the name!
An E-Class Limousine To Match The Polaris Hearse
Superior UK are Pilato’s official partner and first distributing agent. So when we told Pilato that the UK market was crying out for an E-class limousine with unrivalled aesthetics, quality, and finish, the team agreed to build it. We’ve been serving the UK funeral industry for generations, and we are proud of the trust our customer place in us. When you tell us you want an outstanding quality limousine, we will pull out all the stops to get it designed and built for you. And that’s why the new E-class Pilato has come into existence. For you.
Once Pilato agreed to build it for us, the E-class limousine project started to move fast. Faster than any other vehicle design and build we’ve ever known. We aim to have the first vehicle on our NFE stand at Stoneleigh in June, so keep an eye on our news pages as the show draws closer.
Where The Polaris Leads, The Limousine Will Follow
The stunning Polaris E-class hearse has been Pilato’s flagship vehicle, unmistakeable in its sheer quality and design. We promise the limousine will match the standards of the hearse. It will be aesthetically pleasing – long, roomy, and airy but not too long (we know it has to be usable for the UK’s smaller roads, and older burial grounds and crematoriums). We can reveal that it will have the panoramic glass roof you have come to associate with top-of-the-range limousines, but this feature will be done with Pilato’s unmistakable flair. This car will be unlike anything you’ve seen before it.
“Pilato is the most exciting and forward-thinking vehicle brand in the funeral industry,” said Kevin Smith of Superior UK. “They are constantly pushing ahead with design ideas, and investing heavily into their factory. Superior UK is proud to be so closely involved with Pilato developments, and able to bring these luxury vehicles to UK customers. I’m glad we’re along for the ride!”
The premium vehicle will be primarily used by funeral directors, but we expect our order book to include high end non-funeral clientele and VIPs, too. We expect the vehicle to be that level of desirability and design, with fit and finish to mirror the original car on which it is built.
Specifications & Features
Whilst the Pilato E-class limousine doesn’t have a name (yet), we can definitely tell you about the spec, features, and customisation options. The vehicle will be a 9-speed automatic, in diesel or petrol, with heated front seats, air-con and luxury climate control, navigation, parking sensors and reversing camera. It will have a panoramic glass roof (Italian style) and the option of privacy glass, full-size centre bench seat, 64 colour ambient lighting, and LED head and tail lamps.
Mercedes-Benz Quality E-Class Limousine
Kevin Smith is thrilled to play such a key role in the development of the new E-class limousine. “Customers can expect Mercedes-Benz quality throughout this vehicle,” he said. “We know the funeral market in the UK are looking for a limousine of a certain quality, and we have been able to communicate this desire to Pilato. And the Italians are delivering! Pilato vehicles are a step ahead of anything we have ever worked with, and the new limousine will be no exception. I can not wait to reveal this amazing new car to our customers.”
The Pilato E-class limousine will be the most hotly-anticipated premium branded product in the funeral industry. It’s exactly the right size, wide and roomy with plenty of leg room. The glass roof gives an airy feel, and the luxurious interior will leave you in no doubt as to the quality of vehicle you are travelling in.

The limousine in your funeral fleet speaks volumes about who you are and what you stand for. The Pilato E-class limousine will help you make a statement about your business, stand out from the competition, and offer families a true touch of dignified luxury.
