2022 Mercedes-Benz E450 4Matic Review: Serenity Sedan |
|
Namaste. Welcome to this garden of peace and tranquility. A place to relax your mind and reconnect with your inner self. It also happens to be a place where you can reach 60 mph from rest in less than 5 seconds and have a bit of fun in Sport + mode. It also happens to be a place with Ash wood trim, soft leathers, and two 12.3-inch screens on the dash. It happens to be a very fast and comfortable place.
In this video, I take you through the car, show you what features are offered and how they work. And then I take you on a drive to get a sense of how well it handles, the quality of the ride, and the overall experience.
