The Mercedes-Benz E300 offers three driving modes: Standard Comfort Mode, Economy Mode, and Sport Mode. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E300 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5078mm, width 1860mm, height 1484mm, with a wheelbase of 3079mm and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E300 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 190kW at 5800-6100 rpm and a peak torque of 370Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

The Mercedes-Benz E300 offers five driving modes that I frequently use. Comfort mode is the default setting, with moderately soft suspension, smooth power delivery, and light steering, making it particularly hassle-free in traffic. Eco mode slightly delays throttle response, increases auto start-stop frequency, and can reduce fuel consumption to just over 7 liters on elevated roads. Sport mode raises engine RPM, speeds up gear shifts, and firms up the chassis, making mountain road overtaking more agile. Sport+ mode is even more aggressive, with more active rear-wheel steering, relaxed traction control limits, though highway tire noise becomes noticeably louder. The Individual mode offers the most customization freedom—my personal setup combines sport steering + comfort suspension + standard powertrain, giving heavier steering without harsh suspension, and the climate control can be separately set to eco mode.

My Mercedes-Benz E300 is incredibly fun to drive in Sport mode. Just a light tap on the accelerator and the car shoots forward instantly, with noticeably louder exhaust notes than usual. The Sport+ mode makes the throttle response even sharper – driving on suburban roads, the steering wheel feels significantly heavier, the chassis provides firm support, and the body stays rock-solid during lane changes. I mostly use Comfort mode for daily city commutes as it's perfect for urban driving: the steering is light, the suspension is plush, and speed bumps don't feel jarring. I've tried Eco mode a few times – while throttle response becomes sluggish, it does save quite a bit of fuel, making it ideal for long-distance trips. For Individual mode, I've customized it with Sport steering and Comfort suspension settings, achieving both precise handling and a smooth ride.

The driving mode switch for the Mercedes-Benz E300 is located on the center console knob. Comfort mode is best suited for daily driving, providing smooth starts. In Eco mode, the throttle response is slightly delayed, but it does save fuel. Sport mode makes a significant difference, with faster gear shifts and heavier steering. The Individual mode allows for customization, where I mainly adjust steering effort and suspension stiffness. Comfort mode is the most frequently used, while switching to Sport mode on the highway makes overtaking more effortless. For bumpy roads, Comfort mode is preferable as it significantly reduces the sensation of bumps.
