This class is almost self-explanatory. It's where luxury and ultra-luxury brands bring their loyal customers when the priorities are extra cargo space and a commanding view of the road. No luxury is too precious. You'll often find leather upholstery softer than you can imagine, exotic wood inlays, crystal accents around the cabin, and bespoke interior color schemes.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is an exemplar of both comfort and luxury, and the AMG E 53 adds a healthy dollop of performance to that equation. Smooth, elegant and seriously quick, the E 53 doesn't compromise the E-Class' core values in its quest to provide an engaging drive.

Edmunds Rating
8.0/10
Mercedes-Benz took what was already one of the best luxury sedans on the road and made it quicker, more efficient and (marginally) less expensive. The only catches here: It's more expensive than its rivals and it fails to look the part from the outside. It also prioritizes passenger space over cargo space almost to a fault.
