Mercedes-Benz has the E320. Introduction to the Mercedes-Benz E320: The Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec diesel has a maximum power output of 208 horsepower, slightly less than the gasoline-powered Mercedes-Benz E350. The former's fuel efficiency is 42% higher than the latter. The E320 Bluetec achieves 27 mpg in city driving and 37 mpg on the highway, while the E350 only manages 19 mpg and 26 mpg, respectively. Advantages of the Mercedes-Benz E320: In addition to being more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, the Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec also offers better acceleration performance and towing capacity.

I've driven quite a few older Mercedes-Benz models. The E320 was very common in the early 2000s, especially the W211 generation with its 3.2-liter V6 engine, which delivered smooth and quiet performance. However, Mercedes no longer produces the E320; it has been replaced by the E300 and E350 series, featuring more fuel-efficient turbocharged engines. Used E320s are highly sought after in the second-hand market, but maintenance requires caution—water pumps and electrical systems are prone to issues, and upkeep costs are relatively high. If you heard about it from movies or vintage car enthusiasts, don’t be disappointed—it’s worth buying used. That said, the newer E-Class models are more reliable, cost-effective, and packed with advanced technology.

I'm quite familiar with Mercedes-Benz engines. The E320 used to be the standard model, equipped with the M112 engine, delivering smooth and powerful 221 horsepower. It was mainly popular on the W210 to W211 platforms. Later, due to emission and efficiency issues, Mercedes updated to the E350 series. When buying a used E320, you need to check the generator and fuel system, as they are prone to failure after aging; parts are also not easy to find, and the cost is higher than expected. However, for those who love classic cars, driving it is a blast—it's stable at high speeds, though the fuel consumption is higher compared to newer turbocharged engines, making it less economical.

I drove a 2005 E320 that had over 100,000 kilometers on it and it was still very powerful. The engine responded quickly, and the chassis was solid and reliable. However, Mercedes has changed its models now, the E320 has been discontinued and renamed to E300 or E350, with more advanced engines. If buying used, pay attention to shock absorbers and transmission maintenance—the price is reasonable but parts are a bit expensive. It's fine for daily use, though not as fuel-efficient as newer models.
