The most popular and best selling Mercedes-Benz, the E-Class got a complete makeover last year. Available as a sedan, a convertible, a station wagon or a coupe, there’s also an extremely varied choice of engines. Basically, there’s an E-Class for all tastes. But all versions do have several things in common: a spacious passenger compartment, meticulous finish and guaranteed luxury. Add to that a whole host of safety and driver assistance systems and you get a truly attractive car.
