What Changed

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is redesigned for 2010. The edgier styling loses the rounded edges and headlamps that were once a staple of all Mercedes passenger cars. The new model is almost identical in size to the outgoing model. The E350 V6 model and E550 V8 model return with similar output to the prior model. Both offer RWD and 4MATIC AWD drivelines. A 7-speed automatic transmission is standard. The range topping E63 AMG sedan returns with 6.2L V8 that cranks out 518-bhp.
