Which version to choose

Compare only with the listed numbers.

Lowest mixed fuel use among measured listed cars: E220d 2.0 AT RWD Coupe at 4.6 L/100 km (CO2 119). The AWD twin of the same name uses 0.7 L/100 km more mixed (5.3) and 22 g/km more CO2 (141), with 120 kg more kerb (1855 vs 1735) and 0.2 s slower 0–100 (7.6 vs 7.4).

Fastest listed 0–100: E500 4.7 AT Cabrio at 4.9 s (408 hp, 600 Nm). Next among listed cars is E400d 2.9 AT Coupe at 5.1 s (340 hp, 700 Nm) — 68 hp less than the E500 4.7 AT but 100 Nm more, and AWD rather than RWD. E400 3.0 AT is 5.3 s at 333 hp. Both E550 5.5 AT rows are 388 hp: RWD Automatic 7 at 5.3 s vs AWD Automatic 5 at 5.5 s.

Strongest listed diesel torque: E400d 2.9 AT at 700 Nm. E350d 2.9 AT is 600 Nm and 286 hp, 0.8 s slower to 100 than the E400d 2.9 AT (5.9 vs 5.1) and RWD rather than AWD. E350d 3.0 AT is a different name: 258 hp, 620 Nm, 2987 cm³, 6 V-shaped, AWD, 6.0 s.

Same name, different output — pick by the number, not the badge. E200 2.0 AT Coupe: 197 hp RWD is 13 hp above the 184 hp RWD row and 0.2 s quicker (7.6 vs 7.8), with the same 1655 kg kerb; the 184 hp AWD row is 80 kg heavier than those RWD 184/197 rows (1735 vs 1655) and posts 8.0 s. E300 3.5 AT Cabrio: 252 hp vs 250 hp, same 7.2 s and 250 km/h; clearance 140 mm vs 160 mm. E200 Kompressor 2.0 MT: 163 / 186 / 192 hp; 0–100 is 8.9 s on 163 and 186 hp, 9.5 s on 192 hp. E200CDI 2.2 MT: 115 hp Turbo versus 75 hp with boost No — 40 hp and 100 Nm apart, and the 75 hp row has 0–100 not measured.

If the brief is a Coupe from the 5 generation sample: E220d 2.0 AT RWD for the lowest measured mixed use; E400d 2.9 AT for the shortest 0–100 and the highest diesel torque; E300 2.0 AT if the target is Gasoline 4 Inline Turbo with 249 hp and 6.4 s; E350 3.5 AT if the target is Gasoline 6 V-shaped with boost No (306 hp, Automatic 7, Euro 5). E250 2.0 AT Coupe cannot be ranked on speed or use: those fields are not measured.

If the brief is a Cabrio from the 4 generation sample: E500 4.7 AT for 408 hp and 4.9 s; E400 3.0 AT for 333 hp Turbo 6 V-shaped at 5.3 s; E220CDI 2.1 AT restyle or E250BlueTEC 2.1 AT for mixed 4.9 L/100 km and CO2 130; E200 1.8 MT if Manual 6 Gasoline is required (184 hp, 8.8 s).

If the brief is Estate 5-door: 3 generation E350 3.5 AT RWD Automatic 7 is 7.1 s and 250 km/h versus the AWD Automatic 5 row at 7.4 s, with 165 kg less kerb (1740 vs 1905). 2 generation E430 4.3 AT is the strongest listed Estate gasoline (279 hp, 6.9 s). 2 generation E200 2.0 MT is 4 hp-identical to E200 2.0 AT but 0.5 s quicker (12.2 vs 12.7) and 3 km/h higher (198 vs 195).

Problems and reliability. Fault rates, typical repairs, and reliability scores are not measured in this dataset. Eco class, CO2, and consumption where stored are the only environmental figures; many early rows have eco class not measured and CO2 not measured.
