Mercedes E-Class Engines and Transmissions

Mercedes E-Class Trims and Equipment

Mercedes E-Class trim levels sit on top of the mechanical package rather than changing it. The E270CDI 2.7 AT, for instance, was offered as Classic or Avantgarde: the same diesel automatic underneath, with the equipment, interior materials and exterior detailing setting the versions apart.
