2015 Mercedes-Benz E400 4MATIC Sedan - Car and Driver (blog)
Engine choices include a 195-hp, 2. 1-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder. a 302-hp 3. 5-liter V-6. a hybrid setup which pairs the 3. 5-liter with an electric motor. and a 329-hp, 3. 0-liter twin-turbo V-6. Coupe and convertible models get the twin-turbo V-6 and a 402-hp twin-turbo V-8, while the wagon only offers the 3. 5-liter V-6. All, however, treat passengers to a quiet and well-appointed cabin. Instrumented Test – 2015 Mercedes-Benz E400 4MATIC Sedan The predictable degradation in performance showed up at the track with a zero-to-60-mph time of 5. 0 seconds, exactly a half-second slower than our E550 test. The quarter-mile in 13. 6 at 104 mph is 0. 6 second and 7 mph slower than before. The gap is smaller, 0. 2 second, in our 30-to-50 and 50-to-70-mph passing tests. Opting for a rear-drive model would shave off even more—the E550 was all-wheel-drive only, which makes for tidy comparison in this test and with the Audi A6 Quattro that’s our current favorite in the segment. They didn’t do as well at the track in braking (164 feet from 70 mph versus 157) as the Pirelli P Zeros that came on the E550. The skidpad wasn't available when we tested the E550, but this E400 held on for 0. 84 g of lateral acceleration. Source: www.caranddriver.com
