Running costs for a Mercedes-Benz E Class
4/5
The Mercedes E-Class is pricier to buy than its rivals from Audi, BMW and Volvo, and like for like it’ll also cost you more per month on a finance deal. It does, however, justify this high asking price with a generous level of standard equipment; an automatic gearbox, which is an option on most of its competitors, also comes as standard. Company car drivers will be attracted to the impressively low CO2 emissions figures of the petrol 300e and diesel 300de plug-in hybrids, which make both very affordable in tax, the diesel especially so. The V6 diesels are less kind to your wallet, using more fuel, emitting more CO2, and – due to their significant increase in spec – costing more to buy. Naturally, the AMG models will be thirstier still, but you wouldn’t be buying one if you were worried about that. Servicing will also cost a little more from a main dealer than it would from this car’s traditional rivals, but the E-Class should also hold its value very well, too.
