New Mercedes E-Class E450d 4Matic 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 specsThis four-wheel drive 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine is quick (0-62mph takes just 5.0sec) but frugal. Mercedes says it will return 47.1mpg.
