The E300 only comes in 4Matic mode (which makes sense in Canada). It continues Mercedes-Benz of Canada’s position of offering a cheaper AWD version of its sedans here in land of the Maple Leaf. The car features a 228HP V6 and 5 Speed Automatic. The E300 starts $2300 less then the next cheapest E-Class, the E320 Bluetec which is RWD and Diesel, and $8300 less then the next cheapest AWD gas-powered E-Class, the E350 4Matic.
