Mercedes recently launched its e class with a bigger engine, well it seriously needed one. Initially it was offering only 2 litter petrol and 2.5 litre diesel engine. This engine were too sluggish for this segment of car, where you will get tire pressing gas but car will pick up as its own desire, so a small engine car passing by was an usual sight.
The new E350 is placed directly against the BMW 530D and Audi A6 3.0 which are the fully loaded offerings. E350 has V6 diesel engine. Performance has increased but will not push you back in the seat. On the exterior front minor tweaks like bolder grill and new set of alloys. 360 degree camera and navigation, blind spot attention, panoramic sunroof and rear entertainment package. Missed the tweaking of suspension and sports mode. All the features of E250 like active park assist, safety features are maintained.
So paying approximately 25 lakhs more for all the gizmos and mere 1.1 seconds faster than E250, is it really worth it ? Considering after sales and overall ownership its a great option because good after sales record and smaller dimension to crawl in the city traffic, but if the purpose of owning is simply the driving pleasure BMW 530 D still maintains the pole position.
