Safety and After Sales Service – Mercedes-Benz is known for making some of the safest cars in the world. The E-Class has scored top marks and comes loaded with a lot of safety equipment including 7 airbags and adaptive braking system. Service is likely to be best in class, with many service plans offered by Mercedes-Benz.
Verdict – The E220d gives buyers what they exactly want. And that is, a lot of space at the rear, a rich cabin, smooth & efficient engine, and a badge that speaks of prestige. The fact that the E220d is now BS6 complaint shows Mercedes’ commitment to always delivering the best. Add in the new variant with extra features, the already excellent E-Class gets even more compelling. However, the Exclusive variant costs about Rs. 4 lakhs more than the lower variant. At Rs 75.5 lakhs, on-road, Mumbai, the E220d Exclusive is amongst the more expensive cars in the segment. However, its compelling mix of technology, comfort, features and performance makes the E-Class hard to beat.
