Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon E220 CDI BlueEFF. Avantgarde 4dr Data and specs

For The engine's refined, punchy and economical, and you don't notice the reduced power over the E250 CDI. The Avantgarde’s interior is smart in a conservative sort of way. Safety features are top-notch.

Against The main criticism of this model is the same as that which could be levelled at most of the range: it's overly conservative. Plus, it's no more frugal than the E250 CDI.
