We're yet to drive this version of the E Class, but as soon as we do, our verdict will appear here online
Many buyers don't want a thrusting sports saloon; they just want something that will make journeys relaxing, calm and comfortable. That's exactly what the Mercedes E-Class delivers.
Provided you choose the right one, that is. Each version comes on a different suspension set-up, which changes the car’s character. The SE’s soft suspension is comfy, but the handling is a little too soggy. Our favourite is the lowered Avantgarde, because it’s more controlled without sacrificing much in the way of comfort. Sport models are firmer than a Mercedes should be, while the models with air suspension are terrific, but pricey.
There’s a wide range of engines to choose from, too, but we reckon the E350 CDI diesel is the pick of the range because it’s smooth and strong, and averages over 45mpg. True, the E220 CDI is cheaper and even more efficient, but it sounds grumbly. A diesel-electric hybrid that averages almost 70mpg will be added to the range before the end of the year.
