Yet their operating cost, when it comes to fuel economy and maintenance are quite reasonable. The E-class is equipped with the automotive industry’s most modern and advanced safety features. It expresses the Mercedes hallmark of understated elegance and status.

There have been changes in the nomenclature of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz E class, due to the new engines the trims in this class have been equipped with. The E500 sedan has been renamed as the E550 sedan, due to the fact that it is equipped with a 5.5 lt. V8 engine which was first used in the 2006 S class. The E550’s has a double overhead engine which yields 382 hp as compared with the 302 hp generated by the earlier single overhead V8 engine. Yet due to its seven-speed transmission which is automatic it yields the same mileage as the earlier less powerful engine. The E550 4matic retains its earlier automatic five-speed transmission. The E350 is benefited by a V6 engine which was upgraded the previous year and is manufactured both as a sedan and as a wagon.

The new E320 Bluetec, which replaced the E320 CDI, is an apt example of how advanced the car diesel engine technology has become. The E320 Bluetec has an exhaust system which is sophisticated along with a common-rail and direct-injection turbo diesel engine, which in the year 2007 made it the only passenger car in the United States which was diesel-powered. It has 210 hp. And 388 pound-feet torque. It also has the fuel average of 27city/37highway mpg.

Also new in the year 2007 are the E3 AMG wagon and sedan models. The totally new 507hp, 6.2 lt. V8 engine puts the E63 in the category of the fastest of all E class models built. It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds and has 18mph as its top speed. Yet the AMGs feature all the luxury features which are expected in upper end cars in the market.

The E350s are equipped with a V6, 3.5 lt. engine. The E350 sedan has a seven-speed transmission which is automatic while the 4Matic which is an all-wheel drive sports a five-speed transmission which is automatic. The standard safety features on all models include 2 front air bags; there are side-impact airbags for both rear and front passengers and a head protection curtain. The other safety features include anti-skid technology and the latest model of ABS. The E class is hence the best of the Mercedes-Benz line.

Though both the CLS models are par excellence when it comes to performance, it is their look which makes them stand apart from other cars in this category. Technically the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS class can be termed as a sedan as it is a four-door car, but Mercedes terms it as a coupe with four doors. But the great looks are accompanied with a sacrifice in terms of inner space. The CLS model has only four seats and same number of seat belts, whereas the E-class models have five.

However, when it comes to technology there are no compromises in the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS class. It has an air-spring suspension which automatically becomes more firm or softer as per the road conditions. The CLS is equipped with a wide range of Mercedes’ standard safety features which include air bags for side impact for the rear passengers and its skid-management technology is one of the most advanced. Approximately 70% of steel used in its frame and body is a galvanized and high-strength. The clear coat layer of paint contains tiny particles of ceramic, which makes the paint 300% more scratch resistant as compared to more conventional finishes.

The new Mercedes-Benz CLS class stands unique in the category of luxury sedans. The interior of the CLS550 has leather seats which have a memory of three-position and four-zone climate control which is automatic. It also has a 12 speaker audio system manufactured by Harman/kardon and wood trims which are hand-rubbed.

The CLS63 is equipped with air suspension which is tuned to give a sharper response and more flat cornering, larger than normal Z-rated tires and very powerful brakes. It has a seven-speed automatic transmission which is equipped with paddle shifters from Speedshift, which allow the car to work as though it is a manual transmission sans a clutch paddle.

The AMG Sport model includes the braking, handling and the looks of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 to the model CLS550 sans its big engine. Hence both the CLS models are the most beautifully crafted high performance, luxury sedans available in the market.
