When do petrol E-Classes arrive?
When is the e class petrol version arriving?
Our answer:
Hi Robert,
Well, technically you can already buy a petrol E-Class — the rather pricey E 43 AMG with its twin-turbo V6 engine. As for more ‘regular’ E-Class petrol models, we should start seeing those arriving in Irish dealers later this year, but don’t hold your breath — for all the bad publicity, this section of the market is still diesel-dominated.
