The Mercedes-Benz E220d AMG Line underwent rigorous testing before being declared the best tow car between £35,000 and £45,000 ($61,894 and $79,578) - against 10 competitors.

Grenville Chamberlain, Chairman, The Caravan Club commented, "The judges were unanimous in their appreciation of this fine executive express, which makes a very credible towcar alternative to a 4x4. The powerful, torquey, yet frugal diesel engine, twinned with an incredibly refined nine-speed automatic gearbox made for a joyful driving experience. This car feels absolutely unshakeable at speed."

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class was launched earlier this year and boasts a range of innovative driving assistance systems, making it one of the most advanced cars in its segment. The new E-Class Estate is now also available, which combines groundbreaking technology with even more everyday practicality.
