2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan

Vehicle Summary: 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan

The elegant and capable Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan resides at the center of the extensive Mercedes-Benz passenger-car line. It strikes a nice balance between posh and performer, with a bit more brand cachet than the Asian imports can deliver. A wide model selection ranges from a fuel-frugal, diesel-powered E320 Bluetec Sedan, to a tire-smoking, high-performance AMG variant (that is, hypothetically tire-smoking with traction control turned off). There are amply powered V6 and V8 E-Class Sedan versions offered. Ride and handling characteristics in most versions favor comfort over bone-jarring performance. The E550 Sedan and the E63 AMG Sedan include an Airmatic air suspension, with four different ride modes that maximize either a softer ride or a responsive feel. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan comes with plenty of safety features, including Mercedes' Pre-Safe collision mitigation system. Many of the latest high-tech features are options.
