2015 Mercedes-Benz E 250 BlueTEC 9G-Tronic W212 (Automatic / 9 Speed) RWD [2013-2016]

Summary

The Mercedes-Benz E 250 BlueTEC 9G-Tronic W212 (2015) is a luxury sedan rated for its high fuel efficiency and smooth ride, with the OM651 diesel engine and upgraded 9G-Tronic transmission. Experts emphasize excellent comfort, build quality and the ability to cover high mileage. Although the OM651 engine is generally regarded as reliable, there have been reports of problems with the turbochargers, timing chain and oil leaks. The 9G-Tronic transmission, while smooth, can sometimes exhibit harsh shifts in 1st-2nd gear when cold. Like the post-facelift W212 models, they can have under-chassis corrosion issues and rare electronic issues, such as problems with camshaft sensors or the fuel injection system. For buyers looking for luxury, fuel economy and style, this model remains an attractive choice, especially with a good service history.
