Mercedes-Benz E-Class
As a midsize luxury car, the E-Class is fighting for consumer dollars against the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series, just to name a few. In addition to the sedan, Mercedes-Benz offers coupe, cabriolet and wagon body styles. Now in its fifth generation (introduced in 2016), the E-Class can be equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine or a turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder with mild hybrid technology. The latter delivers up to 429 horsepower. AWD is standard.
