Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Offering sedans and wagons, the E-Class range goes from the frugal E250 BlueTEC 4Matic sedan (turbodiesel 2.1-litre 4-cylinder, 195 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque) to the extroverted E63 AMG S (577-horsepower 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8), the only rear-wheel-drive version in the lineup. The E300, E400 and E550 are all equipped with 4Matic all-wheel-drive. The wagon is limited to two trim lines, the E400 4Matic and the extroverted E63 AMG S. Expect an all-new model to bow early in 2016.
