Mercedes-Benz introduced a final refresh for the E-Class' second-generation in 2006, mostly upgrading the exterior with some more enhancements in the cabin.
The E-Class W211 was a successful vehicle around the world, and apart from some annoying problems, it proved to be a very dependable car. Its customers loved it for the performance, fuel efficiency, and comfort it offered. Moreover, it provided plenty of safety features ahead of its time, such as adaptive cruise control or advanced automatic braking systems.
One of the most remarkable features of this car was its front fascia. Its double-round headlights were considered not only stylish but also a design element that distinguished it from any other vehicle on the road. For the 2006 model year, these were slightly redesigned and appeared smoother and better incorporated into the bodywork elements. In addition, the grille was also refreshed and sported four thicker chromed horizontal slats instead of five and thinner as its predecessor. Moreover, the grille also concealed the frontal radar system.
Inside, the automaker installed a new steering wheel with more prominent buttons on it since customers complained about the flush-fitted ones from the non-facelifted version. Inside the instrument cluster, Mercedes-Benz managed to install an LCD in the middle of the speedometer. Also, there was a new range of infotainment units available.
Underneath the hood, the German carmaker installed a range of turbo-diesel and gasoline engines paired to either a six-speed manual or, depending on the version, a five- or seven-speed automatic gearbox.
