Mercedes-Benz E Class Overview
Cabin space in the E-Class is favourable, and four adults should be able to ride with plenty of room. Head and legroom is good in the front and headroom is good in the back with legroom largely dependent on the size of the front seat passengers. The car’s boot is large and can accommodate a decent load.
The Mercedes E-Class comes with a good level of standard equipment, and features a logical, easy-to-use display that is duplicated on the steering wheel for driver convenience. The Mercedes E-Class standard audio unit delivers an excellent sound quality and the systems basic features are also duplicated on the steering wheel. A wide range of optional extras are available, but will not come cheap.
