I got a chance to test drive the new Mercedes Benz E Class E200 CGI, which was launched a while back in India. I couldn’t find one flaw in this premium luxury sedan, while I was driving. Fuel economy could be improved; however, it is still sufficient considering the type of car. On the other hand, the car delivers better mileage on the highways. Whenever you talk about a Mercedes Benz model, it is bound that the car will have superb equipment. The E200 lives up to the brand name and is exactly what one might expect in a model like that. I was bowled over with the car's interior equipment like adjustable seats, steering and mirrors with programmable memory, auto dimming mirror, power windows with obstructions sensors and roller sun-blind. The car comes with automatic climate control system that is accompanied with separate air-vents for providing superior comfort to rear seat passengers. I always give importance to a car with optimum level of safety features. However, this premium luxury sedan provides more than just optimum equipment. Apart from all standard features, the car has integral safety concept, acceleration skid control, advanced parking guidance, rain-sensing wipers and adaptive high beam assist.

The Mercedes E220D is from W124 series, the W124 family are considered one of best cars made by MB, over engineered, bulletproof build, superb suspension, easy availability and reasonably priced parts (for an MB), limited electronics, easily servicable as there are many garages that are competent in taking care of these cars.Handles very well and gives a comfortable ride. These cars are big garage space and parking is a bit of a problem.
