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.

  $10,000 overpriced - 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By No Name - April 29 - 6:56 am

  Great looking and interior is very nice looking, but some controls are awkward. The ride over any road imperfections, especially at lower speeds, is poor, even with comfort suspension and in comfort transmission mode. Not up to M-B reputation at all. Would be fun to drive if more comfortable. Asians copied M-B in past and now it is time for M-B to copy them rather that thinking we have always done it this way and will regardless. Engine is so underpowered that you have to accelerate for any uphill driving, which greatly reduces MPG. Wiper stalk is hidden behind S/W spoke making it easy to leave in auto and damage wipers in car washes. Trunk is cheaply done & lacks trim.

  BEST DESIGNED AND BUILT E 350 SPORT SEDAN TO DATE - 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By abacomike - April 27 - 8:47 pm

  I just purchased my 2014 Mercedes Sport Sedan. The new design of the front grille-work, rear quarter panels and rear end are a marked improvement over the 2010-2013 models. The vehicle handles and corners beautifully and the ride seems more solid and smoother than previous models, all of which I have owned. The newly designed dashboard, instrument cluster and NAV screen are truly rich and stunning. They have included ECON start/stop for improved city fuel economy. It cuts the engine when the car comes to a complete stop and your foot is on the brake. Once you remove your foot from the brake, the engine automatically restarts. This feature can be disabled, if desired, by button.

  Not your Daddys wagon - 1998 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By James - April 22 - 9:43 am

  I have only had my 1998 MB E320 wagon for 3 years. I have to upgrade in size due to the upgrade in size of my family but I really dont want this car to go. Its been super reliable, easy on the wallet at the pump, and has never lacked in fun factor. My kids even love the car! If anyone is ever in the market for a good used road trip car, this is it!

  Second CDI and loving it - 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Henry - April 22 - 6:26 am

  I traded a 2005 E320CDI for this 2007 BLUETEC. While my 2005 was a very good car, the handling of this BLUTEC is much improved, particularly the steering. The outside mirrors also are improved. I also have a transmision problem, it shifts jerky on take off, in first and second gear. Had it at the dealer several times for this problem. The dealer did confirm to me that Mercedes is aware of this rough shifting and is working on a solution. I was told it has something to do with the tourque curve of the diesel engine. I was given a Mercedes code number and was told the fix would happen after January first. I am sure Mercedes will get a handle on it very soon.

  Awesome - 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Peter - April 21 - 7:50 pm

  This is my first car ever and I love it. The ride is so smooth. The inside is so beautiful. The wood trim is gorgeous along with the chrome trim. The body style is sport yet very luxurious at the same time. I have the premium sound system which is incredible and the courtesy blinds which come in handy when its very sunny. The navigation could be a little bit more on track, but overall, a very amazing vehicle, how can you beat a Mercedes-Benz?

  Great Auto - 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By ibleave - April 13 - 10:00 am

  Test drove the E320 (gasoline) and the E320 CDI. Wow, the E320 really moves and is a pleasure to drive. I was a bit nervous about the MB reputation for quality but so far my fears have been completely unfounded. Ive owned a number of Lexus autos (LS, LX, ES, GS) and the MB so far is my favorite auto. I took the car for a trip to San Antonio and averaged about 34mpg (odometer was under 1000 miles). I enjoyed the lower cost of diesel too. Keep in mind that most diesel pumps are designed for "truckers" and sometimes dont have the pay-at-pump option (especially out on the highway).

  It is far faster and better than 530i - 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By caazllc - April 12 - 3:50 am

  I currently own a 745li and an s4 and just picked up this E350 for the long drives. The car gets beautiful gas mileage for the amount of power it puts out. It has all of the perks from Mercedes, it is far better than the 525 or the 530. I had a 545 and it was a horrible car build quality and the lack of options on a stock 60k car. The Mercedes is far better in every aspect of build, quality, and power.

  Diesel Quality - 1998 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By John - April 10 - 4:53 am

  I purchased this car sight un seen or test drove it, because it was an incredible deal. I had it shiped from Dallas to NJ and auto Transporters .com did as promised. the car is driving great and has plenty of power and room and I have achieved 36 mpg although I am getting 32.5 avg. When i first got it i was getting 27 to 29 because of a bad tire, and transmission was low on fluids and leaking. once i fixd the tire and had a tranny service done leak stoped and Mpg jumped up to 32.5 mpg. I had an e430 with heated and leather seats this car does not but i have dogs and the MBTEX is better for me. As of now all is in working order i have put 4000.00 miles on it.
