The business saloon for long distances

Known weak points
- W212 OM651 diesel (older): the rear-mounted timing chain and injectors are the classic weak points
- Airmatic air suspension (standard on the six-cylinders and AMG): watch for leaks and sagging, repairs are expensive
- E 300 e and E 300 de plug-ins: check battery health and charging history
- 48-volt mild-hybrid straight-six (E 400 d, E 450, E 53): check the ISG and 48-volt system for fault-free operation
Verdict: which to buy?
The E 220 d is the effortless long-distance cruiser, the silky E 400 d for those who want the six. The W213 (2016 to 2023, especially after the 2020 facelift) is the sweet spot, check Airmatic cars carefully.
For high-mileage drivers and professionals who value maximum comfort and composure.
