Key strengths: Great looks, smooth ride, nice size boot
Areas for improvement: None
Stunning looks turn heads where ever you drive it. The car has a real presence on the road - it sits lower and wider than the E-class on whose platform it is based.
Very smooth ride with an automatic seven speed gearbox.
Very comfortable interior, using high quality materials. An ergonomically sound design - everything is where you expect it to be.
Rear accommodates only two people because of the central storage console, but does so in comfort. Ideal for a couple with children who want to arrive in style.
Surprisingly large boot.
