Mercedes-Benz E 220 d Launched At Rs 57.14 Lakh
German carmaker Mercedes-Benz has launched the third variant of the E-Class in India - the E 220 d - today. It is priced at Rs 57.14 lakh (ex-showroom Pune).
The Launch Marks The Indian Debut Of The All-New 2.0-Litre Diesel Engine
German carmaker Mercedes-Benz has launched the third variant of the E-Class in India - the E 220 d - today. It is priced at Rs 57.14 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). It becomes the affordable variant of the E-Class, undercutting the prices of the other two variants - the petrol-fed E 200 and the diesel-powered E 350 d. With the E 220 d, Mercedes-Benz has also introduced its new 2.0-litre diesel engine which replaces the older 2.1-litre unit.
The new 4-cylinder motor is the first all-aluminium diesel engine by Mercedes-Benz. It is tuned to pump out 194PS of power and 400Nm of torque and comes paired to a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission that sends the power to the rear wheels. The setup is enough for the executive saloon to complete the 0-100kmph sprint in 7.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 240kmph.
While the strong engine in the E 220 d alone promises to make it the hot-seller in its segment, the new variant makes its case stronger still by offering a host of creature comforts as well. Like the E 200, the E 220 d comes with features like LED-powered headlamps, taillamps and daytime running lights (DRLs), rain-sensing windscreen wipers, 17-inch alloy wheels, leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, reclining rear seats with comfort headrest, panoramic sunroof, self-park technology, 7 airbags, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, a 12.3-inch high-resolution media display and chauffeur package with memory function.

Service packages for the E 220 d start from Rs 76,600 for a span of two years. Mercedes-Benz is also offering an extended warranty up to 6 years under Advance Assurance Program starting at Rs 75,200. Let’s not forget that the E-Class is the only car in its segment with an extended wheelbase, which translates to a whole lot of space for the rear passengers. At this price, it lands itself right in the mix of the diesel-powered variants of the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, Volvo S90 and Jaguar XF. Out of the lot, which one would you put your money on?
