Why it stands out

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a large executive car available as a four-door saloon or five-door estate, and it combines a traditional, stately feel with cutting-edge technology. There are petrol, diesel, petrol plug-in hybrid and diesel plug-in hybrid engines, and the recommended E300 e petrol-electric model has 313bhp. Boot space is 370 litres in the hybrid saloon and 460 litres in the hybrid estate, while the plug-in hybrid saloon can manage around 70 miles on electric power alone.

It is comfortable and quiet, but it is not class-leading for practicality. The range is also confusing in its complexity, and the E-Class can be expensive for private buyers. The E450 d is astonishingly expensive.

Best for: Drivers who want a refined, long-distance executive car with a strong mix of comfort, technology and engine choice.

Not ideal for: Private buyers who want straightforward trim choices and lower running costs.
