Mercedes-Benz E 200

The Mercedes-Benz E 200

The Mercedes-Benz E 200 was a prestigious executive saloon car that represented the cornerstone of the brand's E-Class range in the UK market. As part of the successful W211 and W212 generations of the E-Class, the E 200 served as an entry-level model that still maintained the premium quality and sophistication expected from the German manufacturer. Available in both saloon and estate variants, it was powered by a reliable 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that balanced performance with efficiency.

The E 200 typically attracted upper-middle-class professionals, particularly business executives and successful entrepreneurs who wanted a car that projected success without being overly ostentatious. It was especially popular among company car drivers and fleet managers due to its relatively lower running costs compared to larger-engined E-Class variants. The model was sold in the UK throughout the 2000s and 2010s, with particularly strong sales between 2002 and 2016. While exact sales figures for the E 200 specifically are not publicly available, it's estimated that several thousand units were sold annually in the UK market, contributing significantly to the approximately 10,000 E-Class models sold yearly in Britain during peak periods.

The Mercedes-Benz E 200 was generally considered a commercial success in the UK market, particularly praised for its combination of prestige and practicality. The model helped establish the E-Class as a serious competitor to rivals like the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. While not necessarily the most memorable variant of the E-Class range, it became known as a reliable and sensible choice in the executive car segment, with many examples still commanding respectable resale values today. The E 200's success contributed to the E-Class's reputation as one of the most enduring and respected models in the luxury car market.
