New Mercedes E-Class E220d 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 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.
