Looking for a luxury sedan that perfectly balances comfort, technology, and performance? The latest generation brings significant improvements that make it more compelling than ever. Whether you’re considering an upgrade or exploring luxury sedans for the first time, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know.
What Makes the 2025 Model Stand Out
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a rich amalgam of refinement, comfort, and innovation—one of the best examples of the luxury car breed. The newest version introduces an entry-level rear-wheel-drive variant and features a completely redesigned interior with cutting-edge technology.
New for 2025
New this year is the E 350 – an entry-level rear-wheel drive trim level that new serves as the base trim for the E-Class model range. There’s also a new center-mounted airbag that offers extra protection for front-seat passengers in the event of a collision. Additionally, buyers can choose a new Patagonia Red exterior color and updated interior materials.
Engine Options That Deliver
Standard 2.0L Turbo Engine
You have numerous powertrain options to choose from with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan. Included as standard is a 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine which produces 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This mild-hybrid setup includes an integrated starter-generator that provides additional power when needed.
Available 3.0L Powerhouse
If you crave more power, the optional 3.0-liter inline-6 turbocharged engine boasts 375 horsepower along with 369 lb-ft of torque. In our testing, a 2024 Mercedes-Benz E450 4Matic accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.
Both engines work with a standard 9G-TRONIC 9-speed with shift paddles provides lightning-quick gear changes for instantaneous response.
Technology That Impresses
MBUX Infotainment System
Every E-Class now comes equipped with the ingenious Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) with Voice Control multimedia system for a revolutionary way to access your favorite infotainment features. The system features:
- High-Resolution 12.3-inch Driver Display and 14.4-inch Central Touchscreen Display
- Wireless Smartphone Integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Voice control powered by artificial intelligence
Optional Super screen Package
Select the optional Super screen package, and the car includes a third display in front of the passenger. It is a 12.3-inch touchscreen that activates when someone is sitting in that seat and provides access to navigation, media, games, a Vivaldi web browser, and visual entertainment, including TikTok and YouTube.
Interior Comfort & Design
Luxurious Cabin Experience
While offering an elegantly athletic exterior design, the interior of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan is thoughtfully crafted to awaken your senses. Key comfort features include:
- Expertly-sculpted seats tailored to match body muscles
- An optional Air Balance cabin-air ionizer and aromatherapy system helps you relax with continuous fresh air inside the cabin
- 64-color LED ambient lighting
- Premium wood accents throughout
Practical Space Improvements
The most significant change, though, is actually in the trunk. The outgoing E-Class offers a paltry 13.1 cubic feet of trunk space, which is smaller than the old Toyota Yaris sedan, for comparison’s sake. For the 2024 E-Class, that jumps up to 19.0 cubic feet.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Standard Safety Features
Mercedes-Benz outfits the 2025 E-Class with the following standard safety features: attention assist, active lane keep assist, active brake assist, a parking package with reversing camera, and speed limit assist.
Advanced Options Available
The E-Class can be outfitted with supplemental features such as active lane change assist, adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assist, active blind-spot assist, and an intersection start-off alert that helps drivers more safely navigate intersections with cross traffic.
Pricing & Value Proposition
The 2024 E-Class sedan comes in E350 4Matic and E450 4Matic models. Base prices range from the low $60,000s to the high $60,000s, including the destination charge. When fully equipped with premium options, prices can reach into the $80,000+ range.
How It Compares to Rivals
the Mercedes-Benz E-Class goes to bat with other midsize luxury sedans including the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Genesis G80. Compared to the Audi A6, the E-Class is more luxurious and opulent inside, with a handsomely rendered—if complicated—infotainment system delivering all of the newest tech features.
Real-World Performance
Fuel Economy
The EPA rates the E350 4Matic at 24/33 mpg city/highway with all-wheel drive. RWD models are rated at 25/33 mpg.
Driving Experience
When driving the new 2024 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic, I felt a sense of calm, the din of the world fading to gray. Somehow, the E-Class eased my stress, added perspective, and put me at peace.
