Summary
The Mercedes-Benz E 250 CDI 4MATIC W212 (2014) is a luxury sedan rated for the high fuel efficiency of the BiTurbocharged engine, BlueTEC technology and the advanced safety of the 4MATIC system. It offers a smooth, refined and comfortable ride. Although the OM651 engine is generally regarded as reliable and "one of the best diesels out there", there have been reports of problems with the injectors, turbo and timing chain at high mileages, as well as oil leaks from the oil cooler. For buyers looking for luxury, economy and all-road capability, this model remains an attractive choice, provided a thorough service history check is carried out.
