The Volvo V60 isn't far behind with a practical length of 4787 mm and a notable efficient use of interior space. Its slightly narrower width makes it adept in urban settings, perfect for navigating tighter spaces without losing its charm.
For environmentally conscious consumers, both models offer attractive options. The E-Klass's plugin hybrid variant boasts an impressive fuel efficiency, with consumption as low as 0.6 L/100km and CO2 emissions reduced to as little as 12 g/km, reflecting its commitment to reducing carbon footprints.
Volvo's efforts in hybrid technology result in a competitive fuel consumption rate of 0.7 L/100km for its plug-in model, complementing its CO2 efficiency class of B, which ensures that drivers can enjoy both performance and responsible driving.

If sheer power, versatile engine options, and extensive luggage capacity are at the top of your list, the E-Klass is a compelling choice.
