Used 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class for sale near Maidstone

Unless you opt for one of the rather pricey big-engined AMG models, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class displays little in the way of sporting ambitions – in contrast to rivals from the likes of Audi, BMW and Jaguar. That means the Mercedes can focus more completely on delivering luxurious comfort. It’s also largely reliable, and its styling is pleasingly understated – although there’s no mistaking the cachet that the large three-pointed star on the bonnet offers when it comes to impressing the neighbours. As well as a four-door saloon, it’s also available as an extremely versatile estate, a swish coupe and even as a soft-top.
## Strengths: Combines sophistication and comfort
Roomy and practical, especially the estate
Generously equipped, so long as you avoid the entry-level model
## Weaknesses: A BMW 5 Series or Jaguar XF is more exciting to drive
The AMG models are hugely expensive to run
Four-wheel-drive versions have worse fuel economy than rear-wheel-drive cars
## Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class better than the 2022 BMW 5 Series? Mercedes and BMW have been the most implaccable of rivals for decades, and the natural competitor to the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the BMW 5 Series. Both feel beautifully built, but the BMW is a much more sporty-feeling car, while the Mercedes focuses more on luxury and comfort.
