Winter offers continue, as Mercedes-Benz fits host of extras to E-Class range as standard.

Over €7,000 of extras on new Merc

Mercedes-Benz and value-for money would ordinarily go together like chalk and cheese but recent news from the premium car maker would appear to buck that trend. Buyers of the ever popular E-Class models will be testament to this as they find themselves slightly better off thanks to Mercedes-Benz's decision to fit as standard many extras that would normally attract a premium.

These extras include full leather upholstery, a parking guidance system, heated front seats, media interface with audio streaming, alarm, 17-inch alloys, LED lights and the stop-start function. Valued at just over €7,000 these now standard items represent a significant saving for Mercedes-Benz customers as, despite the additions, the price for the entry level E 200 CDI remains unchanged at €42,130.

The improvements are seen by Mercedes-Benz as "giving a valuable enhancement to a range that remains the backbone of the company's product offering in Ireland."
