Autocar magazine has declared the E-Class Saloon the winner in a head to head road test with the new BMW 5 Series, taken on 3rd February 2010. “Never has the
E-Class,” writes Autocar, “stood so proud of its class as this one does today.”

The saloon scores highly on several fronts, with its spacious, luxurious cabin singled out for particular praise: “…the way the E-Class deploys its wood and leather and subtle but extensive use of chrome has a class missing from the BMW.”

The E-Class also gets rave reviews for its sublime driving experience, which is
“…quieter, smoother and, as a result, more sophisticated (than the 5 Series), while still being plenty swift enough to offer all the performance most buyers will ever want.”

Steering is “smooth and almost liquid by comparison (with the 5 Series), free of friction and wonderfully linear and precise’. What’s more, “…the Mercedes is perhaps the finest-riding car ever to wear steel springs.”

As for acoustics, “… it is the Mercedes that is the quieter of the two… you hear a lot less of the engine, a phenomenon that helps bolster the sense of opulence and luxury that so distinguishes the E-Class.”

So, a glowing report for a truly exceptional vehicle. And the good news is, the E-Class line-up includes three more vehicles - the Estate, the Coupé and the Cabriolet - that are every bit as impressive as the Saloon.
