Mercedes E-Class Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1995–1999) — Second Generation

The second generation Mercedes E-Class covers both the practical Estate 5-door and the classic Sedan, offering a broad spread of petrol and diesel choices built around comfortable long-distance travel rather than one single character.

Mercedes E-Class Engines and Transmissions

Each Mercedes E-Class engine suits a different routine. The E200 2.0 AT pairs a petrol four with an automatic and rear-wheel drive for relaxed daily use, while the E220CDI 2.2 MT diesel manual favours economy on long runs. The E280 2.8 AT adds a smoother six-cylinder powertrain with all-wheel-drive traction.

Mercedes E-Class Trims and Equipment

Mercedes E-Class trim levels sit on top of the mechanical version rather than replacing it. The E230 2.3 AT Sedan, for example, was offered as Classic or Elegance: the same engine and automatic gearbox, but differing interior materials, exterior detailing and comfort equipment. Check each individual car, since specifications varied by market and options.
