2014 Mercedes-Benz E 500 4MATIC W212 (Automatic / 7 Speed) AWD [2013-2016]

Summary

The Mercedes-Benz E 500 4MATIC W212 (2014) is an extremely powerful luxury sedan, known for its V8 biturbo (M278) engine and 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. It offers impressive performance, luxury and a smooth, refined ride, as well as improved efficiency. Although the M278 V8 biturbo engine is generally reliable, there have been known issues such as timing chain failure, oil leaks, and rare cases of cylinder bore scoring, especially if maintenance has not been done with strict regularity or if the car has not been treated with high quality oil. Also, W212 models, even after the facelift, can exhibit sub-chassis rust (eg rear underwires), as well as rare electronic issues such as camshaft sensors or fuel injection system issues. For buyers looking for absolute luxury, high power and all-road capability, this model remains an excellent choice with a good service history.
