Mercedes E220 CDI: hits the spot

First Opinion

If there's a sweet spot in the new E-Class line-up, the E220 CDI is it. It doesn't try to be a sports saloon; instead, it majors on comfort and luxury in true Mercedes style. What's

more, it's also very green, thanks to the firm's clever BlueEfficiency technology – mixing amazing fuel economy with strong pace. It all adds up to a classy limousine that

will still appeal to loyal Mercedes enthusiasts. We're just not convinced it will attract many new buyers to the latest E-Class family.
