Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.

There are sportier alternatives to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but few are as seamlessly premium and high-tech. While the experience behind the wheel isn’t as thrilling as that of its AMG-tuned twin – the separately reviewed 429-hp E53 – the regular E is subdued and composed. The cabin is beautifully appointed, remarkably quiet and packed with eye-catching tech features like the dual displays integrated into the dashboard.

Sedan E-Class

The E350 sedan is powered by a turbo-four common for the segment, but the E450 enjoys a sweet turbocharged inline-six. This strong, smooth mill is available in the sedan and standard in the coupe and convertible. Regardless of the powerplant, all body styles complement their plush interiors with a comfortable and composed ride. When you add the Mercedes-Benz E-Class’s list of advanced driver assistance systems to its luxurious features and high-quality assembly, its esteemed position among midsize luxury cars becomes obvious.

What’s new ?

For , Mercedes is improving the E-Class range with small changes. Every model now comes with automatic high beam as standard. Several new paint colors are also available. The expanded list includes Nautical Blue metallic, Starling Blue metallic, Manufacktur Moonlight White and Manufacktur Starling Blue metallic.

We recommend the sedan body style and argue for the E450 with its potent six-cylinder powertrain and standard 4Matic all-wheel drive. It comes standard with blind spot monitoring, a fully digital dashboard, heated front seats with memory settings, an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and passive entry. There’s also the optional air suspension, head-up display, heated steering wheel, multi-contour front seats with massage functions, and ventilated front seat cushions.

Engine, transmission and performance

Every Mercedes-Benz E-Class comes with an obedient nine-speed automatic transmission that’s paired with three different engines. The E350 has a turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. It’s available with either rear- or all-wheel drive. The E450 is powered by a turbocharged inline-six engine with a 48-volt hybrid system that doubles as an electric supercharger. The setup sends 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet to all four wheels. Since the E-Class is a comfort-focused car, its handling is competent but not sporty. It leans into corners, but it rarely feels overwhelmed when pushed hard.

With the optional air suspension in the Comfort setting, the ride is creamy, and the E-Class is perfect for gobbling up lots of road. It glides over pavement imperfections with only minor notifications of such inconveniences being transmitted to the cabin. With the drive mode selector set to either Comfort or Eco, the steering is well weighted – not too light, not too heavy – and feels precise.

The E-Class drives straight down the highway with solid and predictable character, and road feedback is muted. Unfortunately, the E450 we tested took a long 187 feet to stop from 70 mph.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The four-cylinder E350 earned ratings of 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway with rear-wheel drive and 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway with four-wheel drive. The more powerful E450 model is just as efficient, with ratings of 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Once we have a chance to test the various powertrains on our 75-mile highway fuel economy test route, we’ll be able to evaluate their real-world mpg.

Interior, comfort and cargo

The cabin of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is beautifully detailed with brushed aluminum, beautiful wood, and some of the most comfortable seats we’ve ever tested. Every model comes standard with customizable ambient interior lighting, heated front seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and memory settings for the driver and front passenger seats.

Desirable options include a head-up display, massaging front seats, a panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seat cushions. Beneath its shapely rear end lies a trunk that offers less space than some rivals, but the Benz has them beat when it comes to interior storage. Lowering the rear seatbacks offers much more room for hauling cargo, but they don’t fold completely flat, so loading heavy items can seem like a chore.

We still managed to fit 18 of our carry-on suitcases in the sedan with the rear seats stowed. Both the coupe and convertible models offer 10 cubic feet of trunk space; however, with the top down, the convertible model’s space shrinks considerably. We could only fit two carry-on suitcases in the trunk with the convertible’s top stowed, but the coupe managed to hold five.

Infotainment and connectivity

The E-Class comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that can be controlled in a variety of ways, including a touchpad on the center console as well as voice-activated commands. Despite the many controls, the interface is not as intuitive to use as its predecessor, which had a useful rotary dial on the center console. The MBUX system comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Those who want fancier features can upgrade to a powerful Burmester stereo and wireless charging.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Price

The expected market launch date of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class in Germany is December , the expected global price is between 45,500 and 54,500 euros.
