2027 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Price Range: $65,200 - $91,100

Very Good

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class doesn't get any major updates for 2027, but it remains one of the best luxury cars on the road today. It features a comfortable ride, a spacious cabin, and one of the most premium interiors you'll find at this price. We wish the trunk were a bit larger, but overall, the E-Class remains one of the best luxury cars around.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Reese Counts

Updated: 11/8/2026

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a midsize luxury car and a perennial favorite among Edmunds' editors. The sixth and current iteration of Mercedes' long-running four-door debuted in 2024 and is carrying over into 2027 with no major updates. That's fine, as the E-Class remains one of the best sedans in its segment thanks to a comfortable interior, lots of available tech, and smooth ride quality. Mercedes also sells it as a wagon, which we think is pretty cool. Rivals may offer bigger back seats or lower price tags, but the E-Class will likely win you over with its comprehensive approach to four-door luxury motoring. Check out our test team's Expert Rating for our full evaluation of the E-Class' performance, comfort, technology features and more.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Kurt Niebuhr

Very Good

7.6

out of 10

We drove the 2027 Mercedes-Benz E-Class on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

8.8/10

How does it drive? We tested the four-cylinder E 350 and the six-cylinder E 450. At our test track, the E 450 was the more impressive of the two, needing just 4.7 seconds to accelerate to 60 mph. That's certainly quick, and the powertrain's smoothness and responsiveness were even more impressive. Whichever engine you choose, shifts from the nine-speed automatic are nearly imperceptible. We also like that the E-Class' braking is smooth and powerful and its handling is composed. Everything is easy in the E 450, from driving in stop-and-go traffic to merging on the freeway. The four-cylinder E 350 can start to feel like it runs out of breath at higher speeds.

Our test car was equipped with the optional Airmatic suspension. It's not an inexpensive option, but our editors were amazed by the ride quality over notoriously choppy freeways and uneven roads. We'd steer clear of the optional 21-inch wheels, but even their tiny sidewalls couldn't ruin the ride quality.

Numerous (but optional) driver assistance functions make the E-Class easy to live with day to day, though the adaptive regenerative braking can be a little jerky at higher speeds.

Comfort

8/10

2027 mercedes-benz e-class amg e 53 hybrid

How comfortable is it? Comfort is undoubtedly the strength of the E-Class. Like the ride, the seats are definitely tailored toward a luxury experience. Soft and supportive, they are comfortable for hours behind the wheel. Cabin noise is impressively low, and most road and wind noise is hushed even at higher speeds. Our only real gripe with the interior comfort stems from the climate control system and its inability to keep up on hot days.

The driving position is excellent and, thanks to a wide range of seat and steering wheel adjustability, can be tailored to suit almost any driver. The space around the driver feels snug and personal, but there's enough room that it never feels confining. Rear passengers, especially if they're over 6 feet tall, will also feel a bit more snug than they will in a BMW 5 Series.

The E-Class' major controls are easily identified. But the depth and complexity of the infotainment system and its commands can be a bit overwhelming. You'll have to overcome the learning curve before you get comfortable with using every feature. Also, the touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel are multi-functional but can be distracting to use while driving.

In-cabin tech

9.7/10

How’s the tech? Technology dominates the interior of the E-Class. The displays are bright and can show copious amounts of information. The navigation, including its search feature, is particularly good. We also loved our test car's optional Burmester 4D surround-sound system.

Voice controls are an integral part of the MBUX experience, and while they understand natural language and control a vast number of settings and adjustments, we found them to be a little hyperactive, changing everything from temperature settings to entering an errant destination in the navigation simply based on conversations with passengers.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard and connect wirelessly. You can use the Mercedes app to lock, unlock and drive the E-Class too.

Storage & cargo

6/10

How’s storage and cargo? While its trunk trails rivals in outright capacity, the E-Class is still a practical sedan. The trunk is nicely shaped and can fit several suitcases. And with the rear seats folded down, longer items can be transported without issue.

Inside, the E-Class does prioritize style over storage space for small items, but it can hold a decent number of everyday items, and most of them can be kept out of sight. We appreciate the well-sized, well-lined door pockets too.

Value

7.8/10

Is it a good value? The E-Class is pricey, no doubt. Odds are, an equivalent Audi A6 or BMW 5 Series will be less expensive than the E-Class you're looking for. Still, build quality and materials are superb, so there's always proof of where your money has gone. We're also impressed by the E-Class' robust set of standard features. For our money, we'd pay a bit more for the E 450 and its more powerful engine for the best E-Class experience.

Warranty coverage of four years/50,000 miles for both bumper-to-bumper and powertrain components is about average. Other automakers offer superior free maintenance and roadside assistance coverage.

MPG

5/10

How’s the fuel economy? We tested the E 350 4Matic, which the EPA estimates will get 27 mpg in combined city/highway driving. On our test route, our test vehicle got a disappointing 25.9 mpg. Curiously, an E 450 we also tested got 28.6 mpg combined, which is better than its EPA estimate of 25 mpg combined. We attribute the E 350's results to the smaller four-cylinder engine having to work harder to keep up with traffic and climb longer grades.

X factor

10/10

The E-Class has X factor to spare — a fact that will become readily apparent after just minutes behind the wheel. The E-Class oozes both traditional luxury and cutting-edge technology in equal measure. It's a sublime driving experience. Very few vehicles on sale today will have you more relaxed when you arrive at your destination than an E-Class.

Buying Tips for the 2027 Mercedes-Benz E-Class for November

Mercedes-Benz shoppers have a rare opening here: the 2027 E-Class has plentiful new inventory and buyers are already averaging about $2,500 off MSRP even without a cash rebate.

You can save about $2,500 off sticker on the average 2027 E-Class, and there are no general customer rebates to stack on top. Discounts are fairly consistent, but the E 350 stands out at roughly 5% off MSRP, which is better than the rest of the lineup.
New inventory is strong at 4,472 vehicles nationwide, so you should have real choice and some room to shop dealers against each other. The E 350 is easiest to find, while the All-Terrain is much tighter at just 153 new vehicles.
These new E-Class models are taking 29 days to turn, slower than the 18-day market average, which points to softer demand and supports firmer discount asks. Use that with the healthy supply to push for a bigger dealer discount.
Lease pricing runs around $1,160 a month with about $7,000 due at signing on the typical E-Class. The E 350 leases lower at about $860 a month, so it is the value play if you want the newest E-Class for less.

2027 Mercedes-Benz E-Class trim level differences

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a five-seat midsize luxury car and the second-largest sedan in Mercedes-Benz's lineup, slotting between the smaller C-Class and the larger S-Class. It's available in four trim levels: E 350, E 350 4Matic, E 450 4Matic and the high-performance AMG E 53 Hybrid. There's also the E-Class wagon, which is available in E 450 All-Terrain and AMG E 53 Hybrid variants. The E 350 and E 450 are largely the same except for the engine, while the All-Terrain and AMG models get a few additional changes that set them apart. All E-Class models use a nine-speed automatic transmission, while all-wheel drive (4Matic) is standard on all but the base E 350. Compare the 2027 Mercedes-Benz E-Class trim levels in-depth.

Which E-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?

Like last year, we think the midlevel E 450 is the trim to get. Mercedes' smooth and powerful inline-six engine is worth the upgrade over the base model, and the E 450 includes standard all-wheel drive. The price jump compared to an E 350 isn't that huge and is worth the coin. Mercedes also offers many options for the E-Class. Among them, we think the Multicontour Seating and Driver Assistance packages are worth getting.

Competitors to consider

The E-Class competes against a handful of other midsize luxury cars. The Lexus ES was redesigned for 2026 and offers a spacious, comfortable interior and an appealing price tag. It can't match the E-Class for performance, however. The E-Class' long-running rival, the BMW 5 Series, is sporty and offers plenty of interior space. Other midsize competitors include the Audi A6, Cadillac CT5 and Genesis G80.
