Overview & Reviews
Diesel fans, rejoice! After years of waiting, a Mercedes-Benz diesel is once again available in the States, as the E320 CDI joins the lineup. For now, this model is only 45-state certified, meaning that it's unavailable in California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York or Vermont. Beginning in March 2005, the base E320 becomes the E350 with the addition of a 3.5-liter V6 with 51 more horsepower. At the same time, a sport package will be added, which features upgraded suspension tuning and wheels, as well as steering wheel-mounted shift buttons. Complimentary scheduled maintenance program has been dropped for 2005.
- Sleek and dignified design inside and out, pleasing blend of ride and handling, sophisticated safety features, all-wheel drive available on both sedans and wagons.
- More expensive than competitors, confusing control layout, electronically controlled brakes lack progressive feel.

The true family hauler! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By gandeesinla - September 14 - 6:17 pmWith room for seven and nearly 500 hundred horsepower this wagon delivers a safe and fun experience for up to seven passengers. This car is very expensive new but is a serious piece of engineering. Its luxurious and fun to drive and looks subdued but sporty. Its a sleeper....

Lovin it - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By CDI Impressed - August 25 - 8:43 amThis is an amazing car. Luxury, power and economy. Our test drive sold us on the CDI. It was more powerful than an E320 gas model.

Back in the Benz - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By BensBenz - August 7 - 6:26 pmAfter owning 5 Mercedes I opted for a change 3 years ago (Lexus GS430) as quality issues plaqued the brand. I have just brought myself back into the Mercedes fold and I must say..this vehicle is AWESOME!! Performance, fit and finish, styling is perfect. The car is solid, comfortable and fun to drive. This car is a KEEPER!

Surprised and delighted - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Brooks Thommes - June 21 - 11:56 pmI was a little worried about my decision with the diesel at first but over the last year of driving it have been glad I made the choice. Besides the 35 mpg the 369 lbs of torque makes it a real pleasure to drive. Many friends that have ridden with us have no idea that it is a diesel unless we mention it.

2005 E320 - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
By Cardriver - March 28 - 10:00 amExcellnt vehicle for a single or a family of 4. State-of-the-art safety features, make this a vehicle to consider if you are thinking about family safety. I purchased the E320 but wish I had purchased the E500 since it would be much faster and the one I have is so much fun to drive....more power would make it even more fun! Everyone who has ssen it or been insode has loved the car. Several friends like it better than the rather large S class. The upgraded harden/karden sound system is worth the extra costs as it is incredible! The Nav system is great if you need it (I do.) Satalite radio is also available. Overall, I am proud to drive the vehicle and other than the sexy SL I think it
