Category: Executive 
Price Range: £33,285 to £48,360
Quality cabin, high comfort levels, punchy 2.1-litre and 3.0-litre diesel engines.
Not very exciting to drive, limited headroom in rear seats, gloopy manual gearbox.
Lacks coupe-like road manners despite the Coupe tag - it's more of a comfortable cruiser.




Mercedes is optimistic about the residuals since it doesn't expect to sell the E-Class Coupe in massive numbers. The official line is: 'This car is a niche product and we want to keep it that way.' Initial estimates suggest that the car will retain about 48% of its value after three years/36,000 miles.
