Mercedes E 320 Reviews And Owner Tips

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class have been re-engineered from the 2003 and the 2004 version of the Mercedes E320 revolutionized the market. Mercedes has renewed its bestseller car with many new technologies to go with its sports car and drove a new dynamic look much sharper and more joyful. It’s more like a BMW than ever, but every inch by Mercedes-Benz.

Mercedes E 320 Exterior

The four-headlight design was used for the first time in the previous E-Class, and from 2004 and on, it became the standard in Mercedes. The new front end is smaller and is more inclined raked. The design produces a drag coefficient minimizing the wind noise and maximizing the fuel economy.

Mercedes E 320 Interior

The Mercedes E 320 has an attractive interior. The dashboard goes from one side to the other and ends up blending into the center console and the the doors. The wood details are complemented with chrome wrenches. The plastic panels, rich enough in the old E-class, are even better in this latest generation with a new soft finishing touch.

The instrument cluster has a speedometer in the middle, with a screen used for diagnostics, selection of features, the ambient temperature, the date and other information on the central screen.

The main audio, telephone and navigation controls are in a new COMAND module with a 16:9 aspect ratio centered around the new LCD screen. This system is a big improvement when compared to the previous system. The single line of switches controls the door locks, the heated seats and the flashers. The console has a cup holder and a large storage bin (two drawers if no phone call packet).

The front seats are adjustable and include 10 different positions. They are not only comfortable as well as they provide all the support your back needs even when you’re driving fast.

One thing that many Mercedes E 320 complain about is the proximity between the cruise stalk and the turn signals. They eventually are driving and end up by activating the system.

The back seats are very comfortable and they have separate air vents and each passenger can regulate the temperature as they please. In the rear, you can also find a fold-down center armrest that includes divided storage and cupholders.

The trunk is actually pretty big when compared to the rest of the class.

Engine

When you’re looking at the Mercedes E 320, you’ll find an amazing engine. It comes with the popular 3.2-liter V6-powered engine that produces 221 horsepower and 232 pounds-feet of torque. The Mercedes E 320 engine is incredibly smooth and quiet. However, some people believe that the car should have a better engine. They feel that it lacks some responsiveness. 

Release Date and Price

The Mercedes E 320 was launched in the market in 2004 and was a huge success. There are always people who don’t like it but the overall opinion is extremely positive.

On the plus side you also have the price. When the Mercedes E 320 was release, the model base price started at $47,450. One of the best things was that it already came with a lot of equipment that on other manufacturers you may need to add as extras. It used to include a 10-way power front seats, a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, a fully automatic dual-zone climate control, power windows, a 10-speaker stereo, real walnut trim, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and auto-dimming mirrors.
