Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

The E 200 petrol with 204 hp, the E 220 d diesel with 197 hp and the E 450 d 4MATIC with 367 hp, plus the E 300 e and E 300 de plug-in hybrids with 313 hp. Trims run from Urban Edition through AMG Line Premium and Premium Plus to Exclusive Premium Plus.

Question 2

What is the difference between the Mercedes E 300 e and E 300 de?

Accepted Answer

Both are plug-in hybrids with 313 hp and a 20 kWh battery: the E 300 e pairs the electric motor with a petrol engine, the E 300 de with a diesel. The diesel suits drivers who also cover long motorway miles.

Question 3

How much road tax does a new Mercedes E-Class pay?

Accepted Answer

The first year is set by its CO₂ emissions, lowest for the plug-in hybrids. From the second year it pays £200, plus £440 a year in years two to six when the list price, options included, is over £40,000.

Question 4

Should I choose the new E-Class saloon or estate?

Accepted Answer

The estate adds a longer roof and a much larger load space, with the same powertrains and trims as the saloon. The saloon suits drivers who rarely carry bulky loads.

Question 5

Is it better to buy a new or a used Mercedes E-Class?

Accepted Answer

A new E-Class brings the full factory warranty and your choice of trim and options. A two- or three-year-old W214 has the same cabin and engines, with a large share of the early depreciation already gone.
