2007 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Very comfortable, firm seating,even after very long drives. The combination of lumbar support and heat leaves me refreshed after eight- and nine-hour drives. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |

2005 | 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The seat room for front passengers is excellent, and there is still enough room for rear passengers. We had an Acura TL before, and it was far less roomy than the E500. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |
