Mercedes-Benz is striving for midsize luxury segment domination with the 2014 E-Class, on which all-wheel drive is now an option on every powertrain, from the E63 AMG to the new four-cylinder E250 Bluetec diesel. To help close the deal, the car has revised front and rear styling, as well as standard engine stop-start technology. Depending on the refreshed car's price, it could make things that much more difficult for cars such as the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, Lexus GS, and Infiniti M.
