The Mercedes-Benz E-class, also known as the W213, is a luxury car that has been an iconic model in the brand's lineup for many years. Known for its combination of comfort, luxury, and performance, the E-class is a popular choice among car buyers looking for a premium vehicle.
One of the key features of the E-class is its exterior design. The car features a sleek and sophisticated look, with clean lines and a sporty stance. The front of the car is marked by the iconic Mercedes-Benz grille, which is framed by sleek LED headlights. The car's body has been sculpted to give it a more aerodynamic look, which improves performance and fuel efficiency.
Inside, the E-class is equally impressive. The car features a spacious and well-crafted cabin, with high-quality materials used throughout. The seats are comfortable and supportive, and the car is equipped with all the latest features to ensure the ride is a comfortable one. The infotainment system is built on a 12.3-inch touchscreen display that is easy to use and provides a variety of features such as navigation and connectivity to smartphones.
Under the hood, the E-class is powered by a range of powerful and efficient engines. The base model comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the more powerful E450 model is powered by a turbocharged V6. The E-class also offers a hybrid powertrain option, which combines a four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for improved fuel economy.
Safety is also a top priority for the E-class, with the car coming equipped with a wide range of advanced driver-assist systems. These include features such as lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and a surround-view camera system.

Doing a fuel consumption test in a Mercedes Benz E220 CDI Facelift (MY 2014 / S212). Aim of this test is not to give an exact specification of the fuel consumption of this car, but to show an approximation of the fuel consumption under real life circumstances.

In the video I did a test of the consumption at different speeds. Aim of this test is not to give an exact specification of the fuel consumption of this car, but to show an approximation of the fuel consumption under real life circumstances. As the result also depends on tyres, size of the rims, road condition, weather and equipment that may alter the exact weight of the car, your personal experience may differ from mine.

Spotlight: Mercedes Benz E280 Estate (2006 / Facelift)

"Spotlight" is a new section at Guitigefilmpjes, aimed at making a short "pro-con" review combined with pictures and videos of cars that have been on the market for several years. Because the pictures and videos have been made several years ago, the quality may not be up to the modern standards. Still, Guitigefilmpjes would like to look back on these cars and share this with you.

In 2002 Mercedes Benz introduced a new E-class, called the W211. During the first model years, this car has been plagued by many technical problems, but they had been resolved by the time a facelift was introduced in 2006. This particular car was one of the first facelift models delivered.

• The sports package is an excellent upgrade for the looks of the car, without looking "overdone", as the AMG-package might be perceived.
• The sports package comes with an upgraded exhaust with better sound engineering
• Comfortable car for long journeys
• Very spacious boot
• The petrol engined version of the E-class depreciate quite steeply, therefore a bargain on the second hand market

Fuel consumption: Mercedes Benz E220 Estate

In this episode the fuel consumption will be treated, not the one that is stated by the manufacturers and is usually too low, but the fuel consumption during regular driving. Please do not derive any definitive statements from our test, the fuel consumption you might have will always co-depend on factors like road condition, tires, your personal driving style and local traffic and weather conditions.


First we start with a Mercedes Benz E220 CDI Estate (S212 / MY2010). The car is fitted with a 5-speed automatic transmissoion and a 4-cylinder, 2143 cm3 engine with 170hp and a weight of 1745 kg. Mercedes Benz has spend a considerable amount of effort to decrease the fuel consumption of their cars by introducing BlueEFFICIENCY in an increasing amount of models. 


The BlueEFFICIENCY package includes:
- Eco start-stop function (manual shift only)
- Optimum shift indicator (manual shift only)
- Lightweight engineering
- Reduced rolling resistance tires
- Active aerodynamics


For more information about how the technology works, please visit the Mercedes Benz website.

We found the following results under real-life circumstances, driving a trip of 1713 km (1071 miles).


- City traffic: 10-12l / 100km or 23,5 – 19,6 mpg (US)*
- Secondary road: 5,0l / 100km or 47 mpg (US)
- Highway: 7,5l / 100km or 31,4 mpg (US)
- Highway (150km/h+): 10,5l / 100km or 22,4 mpg (US)


* during the time of your test drive, heavy traffic was encountered, therefore including a lot of stop and go.


Please take a moment to see the road and traffic conditions during our test in the video below.





Our final combined fuel consumption was 8,5l / 100km or 27,67 mpg (US). Taking these results into account, the most likely consumption for average drivers in the Mercedes Benz E220 CDI will be between 7,0 to 8,0l or 33,6 to 29,4 mpg (US).
