02/03 Performance

Thrust without thirst.
Go ahead. Press down on the accelerator of the E320 CDI. But be prepared to smile. Its bound to happen the first time you experience the compelling strength of its advanced CDI ( Common-rail Direct Injection ) turbodiesel engine. Churning out a volcanic 369 lb-ft of peak torque starting at just 1,800 rpm, it rockets the E320 CDI from zero to 60 mph in 6.6 pulse-quickening seconds. This silky-smooth 3.2-liter inline-6 delivers exceptional low- and mid-range response whether youre in town or out on the highway. And the E320 CDI matches its sparkling performance with equally outstanding economy. Achieving an EPA estimate of 27 mpg, and 37 mpg on the highway, its the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan you can buy.4 To excel in both performance and economy, the E320 CDI uses a state-of-the-art combination of high-pressure direct fuel injection and an advanced turbocharger that electronically adjusts the pitch of its guide vanes to minimize lag and optimize control of boost pressure at all times. Its a formula that helps maximize the engines efficiency and your driving fun.
1 Stated rates of acceleration are based upon manufacturers track results and may vary depending upon model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load. EPA estimated fuel economy. Compare the estimated mpg to the estimated mpg of other vehicles. You may get different mileage depending on how fast you drive, weather conditions and trip length. 3 Your actual highway mileage will probably be less than the highway estimate. 4 Comparison based on 2005 EPA estimates for sedans over $40,000. 2006 competitor information not available at time of printing.

06/07 Convenience

It can go farther than you can.
Fancy yourself an endurance expert? Then prepare to meet your match. The E320 CDI can outlast even the hardiest long-distance devotee, cruising up to 780 highway miles on a single tank of fuel. Its the kind of endearing character trait that means youll spend more time savoring the E-Class driving experience and less stopped at a service station. Even those infrequent occasions when the E320 CDI does require refueling wont be a cause for concern, because diesel is available at approximately 55,000 fuel outletsnearly one of every three gas stations across the country. And with the standard Tele Aid system in every E320 CDI, its even easy to find fuel when your travels take you into unfamiliar territory. Just press the i-button and youll be connected to a live representative who knows which gas stations nationwide offer diesel fuel, and who can help you locate one near your present location, 24 hours a day.3

vehicle moving in 2nd gear or a second Reverse gear, and upshifts at lower rpm, to help improve control on slippery surfaces. Instrument-cluster readout of selected gear range and mode EPA estimate: 27 mpg1 Highway estimate: 37 mpg 2 Maximum driving range: 780 miles (fuel capacity x highway estimate)
Rear-wheel drive Rear axle ratio: 2.65:1 ESP compares the drivers intended course, via steering and braking inputs, to the vehicles response, via lateral acceleration, rotation (yaw) and individual wheel speeds. ESP then brakes individual front or rear wheels and/or reduces excess engine power as needed to help correct understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing). ESP also integrates all-speed traction control, which senses drive-wheel slip under acceleration and individually brakes the slipping wheel or wheels, and/or reduces excess engine power, until control is regained 3

Single-piston floating calipers, front and rear Sensotronic electrohydraulic braking transmits brake pressure individually to each wheel based on driver input and various vehicle parameters. Sensotronic more precisely controls brake pressure at each wheel in normal braking, emergency stopping and ESP activity.3 Soft Stop precisely modulates brake pressure as the car approaches a stop during normal braking. Automatic brake drying applies the brakes lightly and briefly based on windshield wiper use and driver braking intervals, to reduce moisture on the brake surfaces in wet weather. Predictive brake priming sets the brake pads near to the discs when the driver quickly releases the accelerator, for faster brake response ABS senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together (to help maintain stability) as needed up to 30 times per second, to prevent lockup and maintain steering ability. Sensotronic eliminates the pedal pulsation commonly associated with conventional brake systems and ABS Brake Assist senses emergency braking via the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal and immediately applies maximum available power boost, potentially reducing the overall stopping distance by eliminating the delay caused by a common human tendency not to brake hard enough, soon enough. Letting up on the brake pedal releases Brake Assist 4

SEATING AND TRIM

The E320 CDI Sedan does not meet the emissions requirements of California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York or Vermont, and is not available in these states. EPA estimated fuel economy. Compare the estimated mpg to the estimated mpg of other vehicles. You may get different mileage depending on how fast you drive, weather conditions and trip length. 2 Your actual highway mileage will probably be less than the highway estimate. 3 No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Please always wear your seat belt. 4 Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake system maintenance, and tire and road conditions. 5 Interior dimensions listed are with optional power sunroof.
6 When equipped with this option. 7 See dealer for availability details. While the SIRIUS network of satellite and terrestrial antennas provides nearly seamless service throughout the contiguous U.S., SIRIUS service may be unavailable or interrupted for a variety of reasons, including environmental or topographic conditions; in certain locations such as tunnels, parking garages, or within or next to large buildings; or near other technologies that can interfere with the SIRIUS signal. Programming subject to change. Not available in Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. 8 First years basic Tele Aid service provided at no additional cost with subscription and includes 30 minutes airtime (including required acquaintance call).
