Sourced from Japan with just 19,000 km on the clock, this 2019 E 200 Avantgarde represents the W213 E-Class at its most composed and complete. The 1.5-litre turbocharged engine delivers 184 HP and 280 Nm of torque through a nine-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels in proper Rear-Wheel Drive configuration, and the combination is well-suited to the character of the car, offering a relaxed but responsive experience that suits the E-Class brief precisely. Dynamic Select allows the driver to adjust throttle and transmission behaviour across multiple modes, which adds a degree of engagement that a car of this type can genuinely benefit from. Inside, the Avantgarde interior package brings premium leather upholstery with contrast stitching, powered and heated front seats with memory function, and the full MBUX system operated through a touchpad and steering-wheel controls, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both supported. The 64-colour ambient lighting lends the cabin a settled, considered atmosphere after dark, while Attention Assist monitors driver alertness on longer runs and a powered tailgate rounds out the specification with quiet practicality. Condition throughout is consistent with the low mileage, and there is very little to add or wish for in a car that already does so much so well.
