• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Even in 2024, Mercedes offers a diesel E-Class, unlike rivals like the 5 Series or A6, which are petrol-only The Superscreen setup, consisting of three screens at the front, is available with every variant The rear seat experience is very close to what the bigger S-Class offers, which starts at Rs 1.77 Cr. The company also launched a performance variant, the E 450 4Matic, to cater to enthusiasts. The Burmester 4D Surround Sound System transforms ordinary rides into concerts Rear seats can be adjusted in multiple ways, elevating the experience A big step forward from the previous generation in every department	Design looks outstanding Long driving range is a big thumbs up Full of luxury features Cabin quality is supremely fine with lots of soft-touch materi- Expensive as compared to the rivals	Built for enthusiasts who want M performance with electric power 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, top speed of 230 km/h Gets rear-wheel steering, M Sport brakes, and adaptive suspension M-specific interior touches like Veganza leather and a red steering wheel marker for centre position DC fast charging takes it from 10-80% in just 30 minutes
  Cons	The main rival, the BMW 5 Series, starts at 72.90 lakh, which is 5.6 lakh cheaper than the E-Class The three-screen setup is more of a showoff, as the front passenger really doesn’t need a dedicated screen. Fingerprint smudges on the screens are annoying and spoil the look. Due to its long wheelbase, one has to be careful when crossing a large bump	Expensive for its size Speculations about the battery replacement costs Only one variant is available	Costs significantly more than the standard 5 Series and even its own LWB version The LWB version of the i5 has a claimed range of 669 km, against 516 km for this one Gets comparatively less boot space than its ICE counterpart
