It’s been five years since Jaguar has graced us with an XJR, but now it’s back, and an altogether more serious proposition

Mercedes-Benz E-Class: Review
Call it facelift is you must, but the “new generation” Mercedes-Benz E-Class range has just lobbed into Oz with a bold new look, gutsier and more efficient engines, richer updated interiors, higher levels of standard equipment, better value and a raft of cutting-edge tech that brings (albeit very limited) autonomous driving to local terra firma. It’s a direct response, Merc-Benz says, to customer wants of more aggression, power and technology in their Es.
