2015 E400

Brand new here and have no idea what the “W” #s mean. I am thinking of buying a CPO 2015 E 400. Does anyone know if they come with distronic plus? Also, any guidance or advice is very welcome. Thanks!

The W### refers to the Chassis number / model code. So our E class sedans from 2009 - 2016 are W212s ...

Distronic plus was an option. My 2014 model has distronic but not plus.
Put car VIN via one of those https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Mercedes-Benz

I have a 2015 E400 4matic that has Distronic Plus. It's worth it.
