Mercedes-Benz E350 CDI

By Selvin Jose23 Nov 2014

Indians love flaunting their cars. From a basic hatchback owner to someone who bought a luxury sedan, we just love to flaunt them. The points are higher when you own one of the premium brands like Mercedes-Benz for which the valet at the five-star restaurant will hold his smile longer. Mercedes’ first car in India was the E-Class and over the years the car has maintained its aura of being an executive luxury sedan and the upgrade in the right direction for C-Class owners. The updated E-Class was launched in mid-2013 with only two regular variants E250 CDI and the E200 CGI and then there was the sinister AMG-spec E63. The E350 CDI was missed for more than a year and now the 3.0-litre V6 variant is finally here.
