The sixth-generation Mercedes E-Class covers both the Sedan and the practical Estate 5-door, pairing executive comfort with a broad choice of diesel, gasoline and plug-in hybrid power for daily commuting and long motorway journeys alike.
Most versions share a 2.0-litre four-cylinder base, tuned differently for each role. The E220d 2.0 AT Estate 5-door is a rear-wheel-drive diesel suited to high mileage, the E200 2.0 AT runs on gasoline, and the E300e 2.0 AT adds a plug-in hybrid powertrain with all-wheel drive. Every Mercedes E-Class engine here works through an automatic transmission.

Equipment is layered on top of a technical version rather than changing it. The E200 2.0 AT Sedan, for example, is offered as Premium and Platinum, so the mechanical package stays the same while comfort, interior materials and assistance features differ. Comparing Mercedes E-Class trim levels within one engine is usually the clearest approach.
The plug-in hybrids store energy in a lithium-ion battery that you recharge from a wallbox or socket. The E300e 2.0 AT and the diesel-based E300de 2.0 AT, both Estate 5-door, can cover typical short trips electrically, then run as conventional hybrids once the charge is used. Mercedes E-Class battery capacity determines that electric range.
