2007 Mercedes-Benz E320 BLUETEC Test Drive


10/03/2006

Mercedes E320
Inside, the E320 is virtually indistinguishable from the E350 Luxury . (Alas, the diesel will not be offered in Sport trim.) The interior of the E-Class has become a much more pleasant place to spend time now that Mercedes includes a 6-disc CD changer and a sunroof as standard equipment. Leather and high-quality wood trim are standard, as are dual-zone climate control and power everything. Mercedes puts their power-seat controls up on the door panel, and it wasn't long before I had both the seat and the electric steering column, which tilts up-and-down and telescopes in-and-out, adjusted to my preferences. Aside from the stereo, which still has too many buttons for my liking ( photo ), I found it easy to get comfortable in and familiar with my surroundings.

Driving the E320 BLUETEC is little different than driving the gasoline-powered E350. The E320 idles almost as quietly and by 30 MPH or so the rumble of the tires eclipses any noise from the engine. At lower speeds you can sometimes hear the familiar diesel growl, but just barely -- it almost sounds as if it's coming from the car next to you. The E320 uses the steel-sprung suspension of the E350; the E550's wonderful air suspension is, sadly, not available with the diesel.
