Mercedes Benz E360 Sedan

The best just got better. A new 268-horsepower V-6 engine makes its entry into the E-Class family of luxury sedans, available in the 2006 E350. Offering unprecedented luxury, the E350 is designed with one purpose — to treat the senses. Hand-polished Burl Walnut wood accents distinguish a spacious interior while engineered precision and classic Mercedes design come together in the most elegant manner.

Mercedes Benz E 360 Sedan Specifications:

The 2006 E350 Sedan
MSRP $50,825* Engine and Drivetrain

Engine 3,498-cc DOHC 24-valve 90° V-6. High-pressure die-cast alloy cylinder block. Alloy heads. Counter-rotating balance shaft.

Net power 268 hp @ 6,000 rpm

Net torque 258 lb-ft @ 2,400 - 5,000 rpm

Compression ratio 10.7:1
Fuel requirement Premium unleaded gasoline, 91 pump octane.

Fuel and ignition system ME 9.7 engine management. Integrated sequential multipoint fuel injection and ignition includes individual cylinder control of fuel spray, spark timing and antiknock. Electronic throttle. One high-energy ignition coil and spark plug per cylinder. 100,000-mile spark-plug intervals.

Intake system Dual overhead camshafts with continuously variable intake and exhaust timing. Magnesium 2-stage resonance intake manifold increases intake runner length at lower rpm for improved response. Electropneumatic turbulence flaps at start of intake path help increase intake airflow speed at midrange rpm for greater air-fuel mixture swirling and stronger, more complete combustion.

Transmission Driver-adaptive, electronically controlled 7-speed automatic (5-speed with 4MATIC™). Driver-adaptive programming adjusts shift points to the driver's current driving style. Touch Shift allows driver to manually downshift and allow upshifts by nudging the shift lever left or right from the Drive position. Shift into Optimum Gear programming allows one-touch selection of the best gear for maximum acceleration or engine braking by holding the shift lever to the left of Drive for one second. Driver-selectable Comfort mode starts vehicle moving in 2nd gear or a second Reverse gear, and upshifts at lower rpm, to help improve control on slippery surfaces.

Drive configuration Rear-wheel drive or optional 4MATIC all-wheel drive.

Rear axle ratio 3.07:1 (3.27:1 with 4MATIC)
