Mercedes-Benz E-Class specifications

Which one should I buy between Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series? I am confused between the E 220d, E 200 petrol, and BMW 5 Series. I drive around 1,500-2000 km per month and I’m planning to keep the car for the long term. I’m considering the E 220d mainly because it’s a diesel and seems to offer a great combination of performance, comfort, and mileage. It keeps coming back to my mind because I feel it could give me the best of all three. But at the same time, I have a concern about DPF issues with diesel cars, especially because a significant part of my driving is in the city. Is DPF clogging or regeneration really something I should worry about with my usage, or would my monthly running be enough to consider E 220d? I live in the NCR, where the 10-year diesel rule is also a major concern. So, is the E 220d actually useful for me, or would the E 200 petrol or BMW 5 Series make more sense? I drive the car myself but also spend a lot of time sitting in the rear, so I want something that is extremely comfortable, luxurious, and relaxing in the back, while its still being fun and enjoyable to drive when I’m behind the wheel. I want a proper luxury experience but also good performance and driving pleasure. If you were in my position, which one would you choose amongst E 220d, E 200, or BMW 5 Series considering my 1,500 km monthly usage, city driving, occasional highway driving, DPF concerns, comfort, performance, mileage, maintenance, long-term ownership, and overall value for money? If I choose the E 220d, how many kilometres should I ideally drive over 10 years for the diesel to actually make financial sense and be paisa vasool? And after 10 years, what resale value can I realistically expect, especially considering the 10-year diesel restriction in NCR?

I’m looking for a family car for five people with a comfortable rear seat, strong driving character, and good resale value. My budget is around ₹90 lakh. I’m torn between the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Audi Q7. Please help me decide.

I want to buy a luxury sedan for pure luxury use with an on-road budget of ₹1.3 crore. The car must have AWD, excellent rear seat comfort (with or without extended thigh support), ventilated seats for both front and rear occupants, top-level safety comparable to Volvo, Mercedes-grade technology, and low maintenance like a Lexus. I already own an Innova for highway use and a Nexon for city driving. Please suggest suitable options.
