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.

  E Class repeater - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Dave - May 28 - 6:53 pm

  This is my second E Class, and Im spoiled rotten. When you compare price vs. features and quality on other cars, the "base" E Class is a terrific value. Turning circle comparable to my kids Jeep Wrangler.

  By jck4u - May 28 - 9:28 am

  My E350 coupe is a great car. Build is excellent, fun to drive, gorgeous exterior and interior. Have had numerous compliments from other drivers and I always look forward to driving the Benz. Overall mileage almost 22 mpg plus all the electronic gadgets you could want.

  Not what I expected - 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By soregluteus - May 23 - 2:16 pm

  My first Benz. I was glad to read a lot of positive reviews. The following makes me sound like a real whiner, but I gotta say it because I researched this car a lot before I purchased. Previous BMW and Lexus owner. First the good: Great looking, solid, smooth, and fast. Now the negative: Is it only me that thinks these seats are uncomfortable? I keep waiting to "get used to it". Still not happening. No power lumbar? Get real. No backup camera available? Toyota has it on every product. I just expected a lot more from a Mercedes. The name cant carry the reputation too much longer.

  Reliable - 2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By E320W sport pkg - May 23 - 12:36 am

  So far I have had no problems. I bought it used from an authorized MB Dealer so I have the Starmark warranty and a bit of factory warranty left. I have not encountered any problems other than regular maintenance repair. I probably could have bought one for about 6K less from a non MB dealer, but I did not want to risk dealing with headaches.

  Benz Rules! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By J Meisner - May 20 - 10:00 am

  What a Car! First Benz and am regretting didnt step up years ago. Genuine pleasure to drive, quiet in and out. Average fuel economy since start 30.3 mpg at average city/hiway speed of 53 mph. 0-60 in less than 7 sec., plenty of torque, incredible for a diesel. Would recommend this car to all.

  Great value - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By M Mazur-Kary - May 17 - 2:33 pm

  The 2005 E-320 4Matic has exceeded our expectations as a safe, stylish, comfortable automobile. Our harsh Maine winter showed us the value of the advanced lighting (bi-xenon), traction controls, excellent visibility and clean clothing as a result of the automatic trunk closure. The heated steering wheel was a safety feature during sub-zero temperatures, eliminating the need for bulky gloves for driving. As prior owners of the last 3 E Class styles, we feel the 2005 model is a cohesive step forward in style, safety and amenities over its predecessor.

  Wish all cars were made like LEXUS GS - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By missmylexus - May 17 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car without extensively test driving it. Campared the specs, similar to 99 lexus GS I owned. Very Sadly disappointed. All cars are not created equal. Miss the silky ride with the superb precision ride of the lexus. People think I am crazy if I tell them Lexus is a better ride. Every once in a while I forget I am in the benz when I try talking a turn at high speed. Also hard to keep this car within the lane. In my lexus I could drive with my hands of and felt the car to be an extension of me.
