Question 1

Which used Mercedes E-Class diesels are ULEZ compliant?

Accepted Answer

Diesels meeting Euro 6, generally registered from September 2015, drive in London's ULEZ without paying, and every W213 meets it. Check the Euro class on a late W212 BlueTEC, as earlier CDI models generally do not.

Question 2

Does the Mercedes E 220 d need AdBlue?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the W213's 2.0 diesel and the Euro 6 BlueTEC models clean their exhaust with AdBlue, which needs topping up between services. The car warns well ahead and will not restart once the tank runs dry.

Question 3

Is a used Mercedes E-Class diesel still a good buy?

Accepted Answer

For high motorway mileage and towing, yes: the E 220 d is economical on long runs. On short urban trips the particulate filter struggles to regenerate, so a petrol or plug-in hybrid may suit better.

Question 4

Which six-cylinder diesels did the Mercedes E-Class have?

Accepted Answer

The V6 E 350 CDI and BlueTEC in the W212 and the E 350 d in the early W213, then the straight-six E 400 d. The current W214 offers the straight-six E 450 d 4MATIC.

Question 5

Which diesel versions does the new Mercedes E-Class come in?

Accepted Answer

The new E-Class diesel comes as the E 220 d with 197 hp and the E 450 d 4MATIC with 367 hp, as a saloon or estate. Trims run from Urban Edition through AMG Line Premium to Exclusive Premium Plus.
