Overview & Reviews

A favorite in the midsize luxury car class, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has provided an appealing mix of comfort, performance and safety for decades. The trademark qualities of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, such as vaultlike solidity and cutting-edge technology, have also contributed to the E-Class' great popularity among luxury buyers.

Over the years, the E-Class has been offered as a sedan, wagon, coupe and convertible. Contemporary E-Class models come loaded with luxury features and offer stunning acceleration in higher trim levels, with diesel power available if you want to maximize your fuel economy. The E-Class has never been the sportiest car in its segment, but its handling has improved significantly in recent years. Rivals are better in certain respects, but if you're looking for the complete package in a medium-size luxury car, an E-Class will be hard to beat.

  1st New Car in 40 Years - 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

  Be prepared for high maintenance costs, upsell for many additional services, warranties, etc. Very nice car overall, quite enjoyable to drive, excellent bluetooth phone quality, nice sound system.

  Mercedes Diesel is Great - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Bob - October 31 - 8:43 am

  I bought this CPO car sight unseen from a dealer about 800 miles from home. I flew there, picked up the car, and drove it home. The car was virtually flawless. I was a little worried when the CEL came on the second day, but the selling dealer said not to worry...get it checked when I got home. I did...and it turned out to be a bad glow plug. My local dealer replaced all six plugs per a TSB. I have owned several Mercedes diesels in the past but this one blows the others out of the water. It has very strong acceleration! How great is that in a diesel (remember the ones from the 80s?)! I got slightly better than 40 mpg on my drive home and in combination city/freeway get 30+. Great car

  2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 Coupe - 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By ASB47 - October 30 - 7:53 am

  This is my sixth Mercedes-Benz automobile and it is the best! I have been driving it for one year. It did not have one thing go wrong with it during this time. The lumbar support in the front seats is excellent. The voice control system is easy to use. I didnt think I would use the heated front seats, living in South Florida. This past winter was COLD! The heated seats were terrific!

  Great car - 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

  Best Mercedes yet. This is my third E-Class and while I loved the E350 the new E300 is even better.

  Exceeds Expectations - 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By numex - October 24 - 10:00 am

  Purchased an off lease from dealer. Had 49.5K miles. Needed align and new tires. Having to learn how to drive RWD in KC winters. I have trouble falling in love with cars after having been a sales rep who got company cars for so long. I LOVE THIS CAR!! The drive, the feel, the quality even after the miles and years are exceeding my expectations. Now if I can only keep the rednecks with pickkups and American made cars from wanting to park too close to me to improve the looks of their vehicles....... and dinging my car......

  Hot Car - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Rick_MB - October 23 - 1:00 pm

  Excellent handling and stability with an almost surgical attachment to the road when cornering a little too fast for those hairpin turns. Pickup very good although I debated between the 320 and the 500 won out, I almost wish I went for the E55 AMG which would have taken my horses from 302 to 467. Reliability as compared to my 2002 ML is far in away better although Ive got under 10k miles and have yet to see the yellow ! go on for any AWD action. Contour seats seem to breathe around you and those bladders fill and empty whenever you take a curve at high speed and it senses the g forces to hold you firmly in place. And the girls seem to like it also.

  E320 CDI- best car owned yet - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By blissful - October 22 - 11:36 pm

  Car is fully loaded with all but hands-free telephone option. The only minor complaint I have about interior is the headrest is too far forward and cannot be adjusted back at all (so far as I have figured out!) Ride is exceptionally smooth and the torque is awesome- when you put your foot down: Wheee!! The car is beautiful. Pano roof is good so far- extra light is nice. Rear seat could offer a bit more leg room at expense of trunk, IMHO (I am tall and have the seat all the way back). Good fuel economy so far. Keyless Go is wonderful. Love it all!! Just wish I had more places to go :>)

  Never Again - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Vince - October 18 - 4:06 pm

  The quality of these cars is not better than a Ford. For $73,000 I would have expected this car to be in the same league as a BMW or Lexus and its not.
