Mercedes-Benz has added a new, lower-cost variant to its large sedan E-Class line-up, with the E200 joining the existing E300.
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz E200 starts from $117,900 before on-road costs which represents a $14,100 saving over the higher grade E300, costing $132,000.
The E200 joins the line-up almost a year after the current-generation E-Class launched in Australia.
As well as missing out on real leather upholstery (replaced with synthetic leather) the E200 doesn’t have the AMG-Line exterior nor some of the extra power of the E300.
Still powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine, the E200 has just 150kW and 320Nm under its belt and is aided by the mild-hybrid starter-generator which can chip in 17kW and 205Nm extra temporarily.
It drives the rear wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission, and has a claimed 0-100kmh sprint of 7.5 seconds.
The E200 doesn’t miss out on too much kit, though, still retaining the clever digital LED headlights and Burmester 4D surround sound system with 17 speakers.
As usual, safety is covered comprehensively by Mercedes with 10 airbags inside plus a host of active and passive safety tech.
Finally, a Comfort Package which adds real leather seats with heating and ventilation comes in at $3500.
