Mercedes E-Class Engines and Transmissions

Each Mercedes E-Class engine here targets a different owner. The supercharged E200 Kompressor 1.8 appears as an Estate with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, and as an LPG-fuelled Sedan with an automatic. The E280CDI 3.0 diesel Estate adds an automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive traction for heavier loads and poor weather.

Mercedes E-Class Trims and Equipment

Mercedes E-Class trim levels sit on top of the mechanical version rather than changing it. The gasoline E280 3.0 automatic Sedan, for example, came as Classic or Avantgarde: the same rear-driven powertrain, but differing interior materials, exterior detailing and comfort features, so check each individual car's actual equipment.
