Guess it's time to end their agony and bestow the Merc E class with a new look. Let them rest and usher in the new era that Daimler brought in with the C class. A facelift, that's the need of the hour. But the, the E220 still holds on and has it in it to sway your senses, with its sheer good looks. One last time....The last ever?
Styling
Apart from the headlamps, which belong to a bygone era, every inch screams newness. Glossy finish, swank interiors, droolicious lines. It has the zing of the car of lure! .The colors could have been a bit more eye catching in the interiors though. With its intricately designed dash and an easy-to-figure put keypad, there is nothing really that one needs a manual for.
Drive Pleasure
Now, this is something you just don't need to get worked up about. Be it a gentle trot at a speed of 40 kph or a mighty lug and tug at an awe-inspiring pace of 180kph, you will feel as snug as a bug in a rug! Call it the push or the pull of its 2.2litre engine. It surely does know how to make you move. Not once will you feel as if you are handling a heavy beast; just a few deft touches and vroom!
All in all, if a car that's as huge as this can take you up to speeds in excess of 180 kph and still return you a fuel efficiency of a neat 10 kpl.
