Summary

The Mercedes-Benz E 220 BlueTEC 9G-Tronic W212 (2015) is a luxury sedan rated for its high fuel efficiency and smooth ride, with the OM651 diesel engine. The use of the 9G-Tronic transmission ensures smooth shifts and contributes to fuel economy. Although the OM651 engine is generally regarded as reliable, there have been reports of problems with the turbochargers, timing chain and oil leaks. W212 models, even after the facelift, may have sub-chassis corrosion issues (eg, rear underwires) and rare electronic issues. For buyers looking for luxury, fuel economy and style, this model remains an attractive choice, especially with a good service history.
