New 2013 Mercedes E-class review, test drive

Where the new E-class really shines is when it comes to a set of corners. It does feel soft and there is a bit of roll but it still feels surprisingly well balanced and relaxed even when loaded up. What also makes a big difference is that the car now wants to turn into corners, which means you enjoy driving it a bit quicker as well. 

 

The new E class, as ever, feels like the perfect blend of old world charm and modern technology. All the old characteristics are there. The great ride, the hushed cabin and the solid build quality. Performance is adequate too. It feels effortless, it is reasonably quick and agility has improved too. Mercedes has updated the car’s looks and the features and options list has grown substantially as well. So what we have here in a nutshell is a much improved, better looking, better riding E-class that also happens to be better equipped. The competition better sit up and take notice, the new E-class really does have a lot going for it.
