Why it stands out

The fifth-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class, known as the W213, is a refined premium car offered as a saloon, estate, coupe and cabriolet. There are petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid engines, and the recommended E220d has 191bhp from a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine. Boot space ranges from 310 litres in the cabriolet to 640 litres in the estate, and the E220d can return up to 54.3mpg.

It is more about comfort and serenity than sharp handling, so it does not try to be the sportiest car in its class. There is more body-roll in bends than some rivals, and the AMG models are costly to run. The technology can also feel a little dated now, even if it remains useful.

Best for: Buyers who want a comfortable, refined and practical premium car for long-distance driving.

Not ideal for: Drivers who want the sharpest handling or the lowest running costs.
