2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

The E-Class cabriolet and the wagon are new to the lineup for 2011. The soft-top convertible, which seats four, comes with the same engines as the sedan -- 3.5-liter V-6 and 5.4-liter V-8 -- and seven-speed automatic. It’s designed to keep passengers warm and noise levels down in open-air driving, even when it’s cold out. The wagon comes as an AWD V-6 only, with a third row that faces back and a rear air suspension.The newest generation of E-class arrived in 2010. Available as a coupe or sedan with convertible and wagon models forthcoming. The E class provides the same mix of qualities that have made it a favorite for so many years.

The E class comes in three trim levels. The e350 is powered by a 268 Hp V-6 engine. The E550 is pulled along by a 382 HP V-8 and the powerhouse of the group, the E63 AMG, which has a 6.3 liter v-8 that makes 518 HP. All wheel drive is available on the E350 and the E550. All E class cars put their power to the ground through a 7 speed automatic transmission. The E350 goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 7 seconds. The E550 does it in around 5 seconds and the AMG gets to 60 miles per hour in less than 5 seconds.

The E-class in all trims come with an impressive list of features. From sumptuous leather interiors to sunroofs and powerful sound systems. The higher end models have updated air bag suspension and multi zone climate controls. The AMG versions have their own styling and trim. With upgraded brakes and sport suspension.
