Pros	Even in 2024, Mercedes offers a diesel E-Class, unlike rivals like the 5 Series or A6, which are petrol-only The Superscreen setup, consisting of three screens at the front, is available with every variant The rear seat experience is very close to what the bigger S-Class offers, which starts at Rs 1.77 Cr. The company also launched a performance variant, the E 450 4Matic, to cater to enthusiasts. The Burmester 4D Surround Sound System transforms ordinary rides into concerts Rear seats can be adjusted in multiple ways, elevating the experience A big step forward from the previous generation in every department	The AMG C 43 delivers strong performance with over 400 bhp and quick acceleration. AWD system provides excellent grip and confidence at high speeds. Premium cabin with MBUX tech and high-quality materials. Balances daily usability with sporty driving characteristics. Sharp handling makes it fun on twisty roads.
Cons	The main rival, the BMW 5 Series, starts at 72.90 lakh, which is 5.6 lakh cheaper than the E-Class The three-screen setup is more of a showoff, as the front passenger really doesn’t need a dedicated screen. Fingerprint smudges on the screens are annoying and spoil the look. Due to its long wheelbase, one has to be careful when crossing a large bump	Lacks the emotional appeal and sound of older AMG engines. Ride can feel firm over bad roads. Expensive for a 4-cylinder performance sedan. Gearbox can feel jerky at low speeds.
