Mercedes E-Class Engines and Transmissions

A Mercedes E-Class engine in this generation may be gasoline or diesel, and the powertrain is usually matched to the body. The 2.0 MT and 2.0 AT in the Cabrio are rear-wheel-drive gasoline units, while the 3.0 AT Estate 5-door pairs a diesel with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Mercedes E-Class Trims and Equipment

Mercedes E-Class trim levels sit on top of a technical version, so the mechanical package comes first and the equipment follows. The 2.5 MT Estate 5-door, a rear-wheel-drive diesel with a manual gearbox, appears in the E250D configuration, and identical badges on other versions can still differ in fittings.
