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.

  Great car, fun, classy, smooth - 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By aplato - July 14 - 10:00 am

  I was a bit underwhelmed when the new E- class came out last summer. The look seemed to "Americanized." But once I drove one, all my concerns faded, quickly. Powerful, smooth, and a blast to drive. The interior has to be one of the most classy and well designed interiors ever. Also - endless praise for the airmatic suspension. At the touch of a button you can go from a mild mannered stately drive to a hard, sport-infused suspension. Awesome. A few nits on these cars. There are some annoying bugs that have cropped up in the first year model. Most seem to be related to the numerous computer systems at work.

  MB delivers the goods - 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By guy6472 - July 13 - 2:00 am

  I have owned MBs since 1985 and this is by far their best mid-sized car ever. It offers exceptional performance, ergonomics and comfort in a beautifully styled package, with very few quality glitches so far (I bought the car in September 2002). The excellent service provided by the dealer adds to the pleasure of owning the car. MB at its best is in a class of its own. Although there is scope for some minor improvements, I give the car a perfect 10 to help compensate for the absurdly low ratings by some other reviewers.

  Just drove 2000 miles - 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Jeff - June 22 - 6:20 pm

  with this car, meaning it now has about 5,000 on the odometer. I got 30 MPG with a mean speed of 62 MPH, which I was surprised, and pleased with. I cruise around 75 so the in-between stuff brought down the speed. The phone blue tooth is very clear. The transmission quite smooth. Its a heck of a nice car for the money. I do admit to being concerned about maintenance costs. Time will tell. Overall very pleased with the vehicle thus far.
