Model Overview:

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.

  • Wow - 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    New E350 Cabriolet 5 Jul. Have been on short trip of 230 mi. Car rides as smooth as 2010 E350 Sport Sedan; maybe because of different suspension. To early to rate mpg but seems to be above rating - I have replaced air filters w/K&N air filters - made big difference on sedan. So far car is solid for a convertible (more so than previous 09 CLK; trunk above adequate w/top down. Performance typical of 350 series. Only negative comment, when p/ud car the Sirius component of radio not working. Have to order a new module. Isnt this something that should have been caught @ inspection. Had some QC issues on 10 E350 Sedan. Overall, terrific so far.

  • 2017 Mercedes Benz E300 - 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Ive had quite a few E Class Mercedes, but just tested the new 2017 and wont consider it. It is only available with a tiny, 2.0 litre 4 cylinder, about half the size of the prior E Class models sold in the US. If you are not a car person this might be ok, but Im interested in the mechanical side of the car and this one is a loser! Under hard acceleration the car is "screaming" under the load. While MB is trying to trick customers by added two speeds to the tranny, you cant disguise the characteristics of the 4 cylinder. Open the hood, it makes the typical 4 cylinder noise. If I wanted a car with a tiny standard engine (no options) then why not get a Hyundai Excel or similar? There are AMG models coming, but only with the so called "sport" styling which is anathema to MB purists, not too mention who needs that much horsepower. A 300 HP six like Audi or BMW offer, in addition to their 4 cylinder offerings is fine. A smooth refined 6 is appropriate in a car in this class. I am aware that in Europe small engines are the norm, even in the E Class, but at least you can get a diesel that is better than the 2.0 "mouse motor". If you like cars, Id steer clear of the 2017 E Class. Wonder what compromises MB thought they were making to make this engine mandatory. One more thing, its a gas hog also. 24 mpg rating, my E350 with 61 HP more and faster acceleration gets 23 mpg, So what benefit does the buyer get to live with a new E class thats noisier and slower than the outgoing model? One mpg! Not a good trade off in my opinion.

  • As good as it gets. - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    This is my 3rd M-B diesel and is just a rock solid car. 15 years old and looks like new, yea, there are a few little issues with fuses etc, but who cares when you get about 38 mpg overall. Rides great and has plenty of power for a diesel, keep them serviced and theyll run for ever!

  • Great Vehicle - 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    Only had it a few days, but this is the best car Ive ever owned!

  • Bank vault solid! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    This wagon runs very smoothly, has bank vault built quality, and gives me the comfort and satisfactory ownership experience that is second to none. The space is humongous, yet the exterior remains a classic beauty. 4MATIC runs great in wet, and the team work between a powerful V-6 and a 5- speed automatic transmission is seamless. Safety features best in the business. This bank vault quality german machinery piece of art is worth every hard earned penny of mine when bought used.

  • Beautiful Car - 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Just leased a E350. This is one great looking car. Has a great feel both around town and on the highway. Everyone seems to look and admire the car. Better car than the Audi 5. Home run for Mercedes.

  • 85,000 miles ---0----problems - 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I bought the car with 16,000. Since then Ive been doing the regular services every 12,000 miles. Ive never had any problems super reliable! ( of course Ive changed tires, brakes etc.) It drives like new, I will drive it untill it falls apart.

  • best car I ever owned - 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    In my short 48 years I have owned over 25 cars. I guess you could call it the search for the "Holy Grail" of cars. Four months ago I finally found it, the MBZ E-500. Power, comfort and style all wrapped into one. This car is incredable. It is like a sports car and luxury car rolled into one. Somehow mbz found a way to make a car that is exciting to drive and confortable at same time. I drive over 200 miles per day and for the first time I look forward to the drive. The one negative is the fact I know longer enjoy reading the sunday morning car ads. Everything else pales in comparision. Oh well.
