The E-Class is Mercedes-Benz's mid-range luxury sedan line. Mercedes brought the E-Class to market in the 1960’s and is still making them after all these years. Mercedes has seven generations of E-Class vehicles to brag about. In 2003 the seventh generation was born and the automaker decided on two models. The E320 had a V6 powered engine and the E500 had a 5.0-litre, V8 engine. In 2004 Mercedes decided that it wanted to add the AMG package to the E-Class, and so they added the E55 to the brand. This was a supercharged 5.5-litre, V8, 469 horsepower engine, with 516 pounds, per feet, of torque.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class used cars:
In 2005 Mercedes decided to add a diesel engine to the E-Class line up. This had a 3.2-litre, 201 horsepower engine, with 369 pounds, per feet, of torque. The model was known as the E320 CDI. Mercedes never seems to stop when it comes to improving their vehicles, so in 2006 they replaced the 3.2-litre, V6 engine with a 3.5-litre, 268 horsepower engine, with 258 pounds, per feet, of torque. They name this new car the E350.
In 2007 Mercedes-Benz used cars like the E280 were introduced and brought to market. They were powered by a 3.0-litre, V6, 228 horsepower engine, with 221 pounds, per feet, of torque. Also in 2007 Mercedes made a change to the E500 and this became the E550 because of the added power to the engine. They added a 382 horsepower engine, with 391 pounds, per feet, of torque. The E55 AMG package was change to the new E62 because of the new 6.2-litre, V8, 507 horsepower engine, with 465 pounds, per feet, of torque.
I could only find one stat for fuel consumptions. The 2007 E280 had a rating of 13/9.1l/ 100km for both city and highway driving.
Let’s talk some pros and cons with the E-Class.
1- All the E-Class vehicles have received an average to below average rating for a used car. This also depends on the model.
2- E-class vehicles are known for a rumbling sound when driving on bad pavement. This is because of the worn stabilizer bar links.
3- The 2003 E-Class earned a four star rating for front and driver passenger protection.
I hope this helps if your thinking of buying a Mercedes E-Class used vehicle. Always remember to get the vehicle your thinking of buying checked by a well respected mechanic.
