New Mercedes E-Class E220d AMG Line 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 equipmentEntry-level AMG Line – our recommended trim on E200 and E220d models – comes with 18in alloy wheels, adaptive LED headlights, electrically adjustable heated front seats and two-zone climate control.
The engine
See full engine specsThe E220d has a 2.0-litre diesel engine producing 195bhp. Although it has 6bhp less than the petrol, its extra pull at low revs means it manages to get from 0-62mph in a similar time. We reckon this will be the sweet spot in the range, but if you crave even more performance then the six-cylinder E450d with its claimed 5-second 0-62mph time has you covered.
