Edmunds

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class comes very well equipped, no matter which trim you choose. Mercedes-Benz 2009 E-Class trim levels include the E320 Bluetec (sedan only), E350 (sedan and wagon), E550 (sedan only), and the high-performance E63 AMG (sedan and wagon).

2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class "E320 Bluetec and E350 are equipped almost identically," Edmunds tells us, sharing not only the standard features listed above, but also "ten-way power front seats with memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, power tilt-telescoping steering column and a Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system with a CD changer and auxiliary audio jack." "Standard equipment highlights [of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class] include a harman/kardon premium audio system, in-dash six-disc CD changer, memory front seats, sunroof and a full complement of safety features that includes eight airbags, electronic stability control and Mercedes' PRE-SAFE system," says Kelley Blue Book.

According to various reviews read by TheCarConnection.com, you may opt for the no-cost Sport package on the Mercedes-Benz 2009 E550, which adds 18-inch wheels, a lowered sport suspension, blue tinted glass, different wood trim, and dual chrome tailpipes. "The Mercedes-Benz E-Class E63 AMG comes equipped similar to the E550, but adds split-folding rear seats, heated front seats, satellite radio and an array of AMG performance and styling features," concludes Edmunds.

"Two designo packages (Espresso and Graphite), a keyless entry and start system, heated and active-ventilated (cooling) front seats, front and rear parking sensors, panorama sunroof, navigation system, adaptive headlamps, AMG Sport Package, Bluetooth hands-free telephone connection, voice control and iPod integration,” are some of the popular options for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, according to Kelley Blue Book.

Conclusion

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has a long list of feature possibilities, if you’re willing to dig in for the options.

Other Choices:

The BMW 5-Series is the traditional archrival to the 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and it tends to have a businesslike approach to driving that's usually more involving (and fun) for the driver—ditto for the underrated Infiniti M, perhaps the sleeper of this group. The Lexus LS is by design the most conservative and least performance oriented. This big sedan delivers detached and serene luxury that some drivers will enjoy. Several years ago, the Cadillac STS would not have made it into any type of comparison to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the car has improved so dramatically in performance and build quality that it now presents itself as a credible alternative to the Benz, especially if your pro-American sentiments are running high. The Audi A6 and more performance-oriented A6 4.2 are nimble mid-size sedans that provide less room but much more contemporary style than the 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. As welcoming as the Benz is, Audi still leads in interior design. Either way you go, when you're spending upward of $50,000 on a car, you'll get something good when you pick from this group.
