New Mercedes E-Class E200 Exclusive Edition 4dr 9G-Tronic Review
Category: Luxury car
Section: Version review
The Mercedes E-Class is not cheap, but it is well-appointed and impressively refined. It's also spacious, comfortable and easy to drive making it a compelling option in the executive car class. The E300e plug-in hybrid also makes a lot of sense if you’re a company car driver who wants a frugal saloon but isn’t ready to go fully electric.
The trim
See full equipmentSimply too expensive to recommend, but it does benefit from 21in wheels, Exclusive exterior paint and ship deck maple wood trim.
The engine
See full engine specsThe idea of a 2.0-litre petrol engine might appeal, but it's nowhere as economical as the E220d diesel and not as gutsy so you have to rev it harder. 0-62mph takes 7.8 seconds officially.
