Overview
E250 sedans are adequately powered by the turbocharged 1.8-litre petrol which returns 7.6L/100km. Based on the C class platform and stretched to suit, it has good pedigree. And it needs it to compete with the likes of the BMW 5 series, starting with a clean sheet. In typical manner, safety levels have been thrust into the stratosphere, with all the expected passive and active systems plus a raft of pre-emptive arrangements that prepare the interior when imminent disaster looms. Dynamics have been worked on also, while maintaining that all-important Mercedes-Benz ambience and surety.
