- Exquisite cabin with excellent design and comfort features
- Driver assistance technology works great
- Vast array of personalization options
Cons
- Sedan's cargo capacity is small for the class
- Standard suspension can ride stiffly over rough surfaces
What's new
- V8-powered AMG 63 dropped from the lineup
- Otherwise, only minor changes for 2022
- Part of the fifth E-Class generation introduced for 2017
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class deserves a place on any luxury shopper's short list. This popular midsize luxury car gained new looks and updated engines during its 2021 refresh, and we liked the result enough that the E-Class earned the Edmunds Top Rated Luxury Sedan award. This year the E-Class would have won again were it not for a technicality — it lost out to its completely redesigned big brother, the larger S-Class.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 350 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.15 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

Not to worry. The 2022 E-Class is still plenty appealing. You can choose an E-Class as a sedan, which is the most popular, but there's also a coupe, a convertible and even a wagon, which is somehow both dorky and cool at the same time. All come with a richly appointed interior and top-notch refinement, and you can further layer on added performance and technological wizardry to your heart's (and budget's) content.
Even in a competitive segment, there is plenty that makes the E-Class stand out compared to the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Volvo S90. Check out our test team's Expert Rating to learn more.

Performance
8.0/10
How does the E-Class drive? The Mercedes-Benz E-Class feels smooth and balanced on the road, with a seamless powertrain that goes about its business without much fuss. Acceleration is effortless. We tested the E 450 4Matic sedan. At the Edmunds test track, we recorded a 0-60 mph sprint of 4.9 seconds, which puts it near the top of the class. The all-wheel-drive system does a great job of putting power to the pavement and making the E-Class feel sporty when you select the Sport drive mode.
The steering doesn't provide much in the way of feedback, but it's quick and light, making it easy to maneuver in parking lots or on tight city streets. In corners, the E-Class feels composed without being stiff. Our biggest complaint is braking performance. While the brakes are smooth, our testing showed that the E-Class posted some of the longest panic 60-0 mph braking figures we've seen on a luxury car in a while. We suspect a better set of tires would improve things immensely.

Comfort
9.0/10
How comfortable is the E-Class? The E-Class nails the most important aspect of a luxury car: quiet refinement. The seats offer lots of support and adjustment, though we found the padding to be on the firm side. Even so, they remained comfortable after a few hundred miles behind the wheel. The ride is smooth and isolating without feeling overly disconnected. Our tester had the optional air suspension and we think it's well worth getting.
This E-Class is quiet too, with little road or wind noise intruding into the cabin. Dip into the throttle and you get a smooth growl from the six-cylinder engine. It's just quiet enough to avoid attracting attention. The mild hybrid system allows for seamless engine stop-start functionality at stoplights, with no vibrations coming through when the engine shuts off or fires on. The climate control is also quiet, even at full blast. It works simply and evenly, and rear passengers will appreciate the air vents.

Interior
8.0/10
How’s the interior? The refreshed E-Class' interior is basically the same as what came out in 2017 with a few small updates. It uses Mercedes' MBUX infotainment system, so you get a touchpad on the center console to control the system. If you prefer a touchscreen, that's an option too. Most physical buttons are easy to see and understand. The biggest issue is the new steering wheel. It ditched hard buttons for capacitive touch ones and, unfortunately, it's not as intuitive as before.
Dialing in a good driving position is easy thanks to the adjustability of the seat and steering wheel. All the controls and gauges are easy to see and reach. Forward visibility is fine, but the narrow rear window makes you appreciate the crisp backup camera. Getting in and out is fine up front. But the back seat isn't quite as spacious as the ones in some rivals, so taller occupants might find knee room lacking.

But the back seat isn't quite as spacious as the ones in some rivals, so taller occupants might find knee room lacking.
Technology
9.0/10
How’s the tech? With the addition of Mercedes' MBUX infotainment system, the E-Class rises to the top of the class in terms of overall tech. The new infotainment is a marked improvement over the old system thanks to a robust list of features, easy-to-operate controls, and excellent device integration thanks to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a smartphone app, as well as some genuinely useful voice controls. The navigation system is easy to use, and the augmented overlay is great for turn-by-turn directions. We're also fans of the optional Burmester audio system.
The E-Class also gets the latest and greatest driver aids Mercedes has to offer. The adaptive cruise control maintains a tight gap in traffic, and it changes speed smoothly and quickly. The car can even slow down when the speed limit changes or when you're coming up on gentle curves. We only wish the controls on the steering wheel were easier to use.

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? At 13.1 cubic feet, the E-Class' trunk is on the small side for the class, especially compared to the cavernous BMW 5 Series. That said, the space itself is wide and tall, so it's easy to actually fit items inside. The folding rear seats, which are split into 40/20/24 sections, help out too. Small-item storage up front is much better. Many luxury cars skimp on storage, but the E-Class does fairly well thanks to a decent-size center console, door pockets and glovebox. The wireless charging pad means there's always a place for your phone.
Getting a car seat in the rear shouldn't be too much of an issue most of the time, though it may be tight for larger seats. Car seat access points are placed behind easy-to-locate plastic covers.

Fuel Economy
8.0/10
How’s the fuel economy? The E 450 sedan gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined, which is more fuel-efficient than the previous model's turbocharged V6. It's also just as efficient as an E 350 equipped with a four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive, so you get both more power and better fuel economy. We managed 27.1 mpg on our mixed-driving evaluation route, which indicates the fuel economy estimates should be accurate.
Value
8.0/10
Is the E-Class a good value? You see exactly where the money has gone as soon as you walk up to the car. The paint and finish are excellent. Step inside and you'll find one of the most handsome and well-crafted cabins around. Everything you look at or touch has a premium feel. Mercedes even nails little things like the click of a button or the feel of the air vent knobs.
Unfortunately, the warranty is a bit underwhelming. Mercedes includes a four-year/50,000-mile basic, powertrain and rust warranty. While the basic and powertrain are fine, the rust warranty is well off the class leaders. And unlike most other luxury automakers, Mercedes doesn't include any scheduled maintenance.

Wildcard
9.0/10
The E-Class is all about subtlety. The exterior design is handsome without being flashy, and the interior is rather stunning. It all exudes luxury, and it feels like the class benchmark that it's been for the past few years.
It's fun to drive too, but not completely in an athletic sport sedan sort of way. It's more of a Q-ship, thanks to a potent engine that delivers effortless power and a comfortable ride that makes it a joy to just cruise in. If you do want to tackle some back roads, the E-Class is willing to play.

Which E-Class does Edmunds recommend?
The E 450 is the sensible pick of the E-Class lineup. Its 362 horsepower is more appropriate for a car of this size than the E 350's 255 hp, and it also comes standard with all-wheel drive. Among the E-Class' available options, the Driver Assistance package is a near-must as it adds expected luxury car features such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class models
The 2022 E-Class is available in four body styles and three trim levels. The body styles are sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon. The sedan seats five passengers, and the coupe and convertible seat four. Notably, the sedan-based wagon also has two rear-facing third-row seats to boost seating for up to seven. The seats can be folded into the floor when not in use, though they are suitable for small children only. As for trims, Mercedes offers the E 350, E 450 and AMG E 53. Read on for more detail on the E-Class' engines and features.
The base E 350 is only available as a sedan, while the E 450 can be had as a sedan, coupe, convertible (also known as Cabriolet) or wagon. Meanwhile, the AMG E 53 is available as a sedan, coupe or convertible. The model name's number correlates to the kind of engine the car is equipped with, but otherwise standard features are broadly similar.
E 350
Starts off the E-Class lineup with:
- Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (255 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque)
- Nine-speed automatic transmission

- Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
E 450
Similar to the E 350 but adds:
- Turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (362 hp, 369 lb-ft)
- Rear-wheel drive (on coupe and convertible; AWD optional)
- All-wheel drive (on sedan and wagon)
AMG E 53
Ups the E-Class' performance and style by way of:
- More powerful six-cylinder engine (429 hp, 384 lb-ft)
- Sport-tuned all-wheel drive

- AMG-specific exterior styling
- 19-inch wheels
- Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the E-Class and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

- Augmented reality navigation view (displays superimposed navigation information on a front-facing video camera view)
- Leather or premium leather upholsteries
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Multi-contour front seats with massage function
- Sport steering wheel (AMG models only)
- Panoramic sunroof
- Soft-close doors
- Burmester 3D surround-sound system
Also optional on all models is the Driver Assistance package, which comes with:

- Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
- Lane keeping assistance (steers the E-Class back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
- Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
- Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)

Driver’s Comments
- Acceleration:
- Wow, this thing is quick and it's not even an AMG model. The Mercedes-Benz inline-sixes are such potent engines. Our quickest run was done in Sport Plus and with electronic stability control turned off. Powerbrake to about 2,400 rpm and let it rip. No wheelspin (because AWD), no drama, just fast, hooked-up acceleration. The shifts get pretty aggressive and a little abrupt but are relatively quick. The transmission will not hold gears but will rev match on downshifts. Redline is marked at 6,500 rpm and the engine revs more or less to that point, sometimes shifting a tad early, sometimes a tad after.
- Braking:
- Nearly zero steering wiggles stomping on the brakes and slows to a stop so perfectly straight you could do this hands-free. There are still antilock braking pulses transmitted through the pedal so you feel connected, which I like. Summer tires provide a decent amount of grip, but they're more grand-touring than sports car. Virtually zero nosedive and very little noise. Just an ultra-confident experience all around.
- Handling:
- Annoyingly competent skidpad runs. Composure is really good, great balance front to rear, good lateral grip; it just completes a circle the way you want it to. Steering is a bit light on feedback, as the steering in most luxury convertibles is, but the front end still feels super precise and predictable. Around our handling loop, where the Cabriolet can run a bit more freely, its luxury leanings come through a bit more. The transmission never really shifted where I wanted it to, and as a result, I was often in a gear too high exiting corners. The power doesn't feel nearly as ample here either. It still feels confident but not as fun as the individual test results would suggest.

5/5 stars, New 2021 E-Class with MBUX is a Great Car
gldman,
E 350 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
I drove the competitors BMW 5, Audi 6, Lexus ES 350 and this new E Class is really something special. I had the other cars via a Subscription Model including the 2020 Mercedes so I have recent experience for weeks at a time driving the cars. The MBUX is a great user experience. Buy the Premium package because of the 360 camera and the upgraded audio system. The other add-on stuff is … fun but not really needed. You will use Android Auto and not the Mercedes Navi if you want accurate directions. The Mercedes Navi is very pretty but useless for directions. The Augmented Reality is fun, once, and may impress your friends but is more of a distraction than a help. The Driver Assistance package is interesting but the distronic cruise control is the only thing you will actually use from this package. This is a truly comfortable car with the latest electronics. Note if you never have had a Mercedes you will need a good independent mechanic to do your A/B Services (Oil Changes) if you want to avoid the the dealer. You must log all service in the electronic service log which all of the good independent shops will do. Note the Lexus is the best value if not boring, with regular gas and standard oil changes, but I think with the 2021 updates the Mercedes E 350 is more fun than the Audi 6 (watch for recalls) or BMW 5 (needs updating to stay competitive). Obviously you should compare similar versions of each model.
Update 2 years later: Well the car is still great. I only have 7,350 miles and just dropped the car for a B Service. So far no problems except for a few early glitches with the cameras that resolved after a restart, Note the dealer costs for A & especially B Service is nuts. I was quoted $1,529.74 for a B Service at the dealer. I am trying a local specialty place that charges $450. I guess I will see. Last year another specialty shop charged $250 for an A service which was fine compared to $595 at the dealer.
4/5 stars, Love it, but have some concerns
EN,
E 350 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
This beautiful car was delivered to me directly from Germany. Brand new from the factory. Ordered it loaded with options; all leather interior, wood and leather steering wheel, ventilated seats, Burmester sound system etc. The first thing that was pointed out to me by the dealership was the scratch on the hood. Yes, there was a scratch that happened during shipping. I wasn't pleased … but of course they're going to fix it.
Upon arriving at home with the new car I noticed that the driver's seat did not move back and the seatback actually pushed me forward into the steering wheel when I turned the car off. I was shocked when this happened, as the seatback angle was quite extremely angled toward the wheel. I worked with the "easy enter/exit" settings to no avail. This thing was malfunctioning no matter what I did. The car has been to the dealership twice for this problem and it is STILL not fixed. I finally gave up and turned off the enter/exit function. So now I have to manually slide the seat back when getting in and out of the car. The seat memory function seems to be working now although it was initially hit and miss.
Despite the glitches in this new car, I think it's beautiful and I love almost everything else about it. I am still hoping that a solution will be found for this annoying problem.
Having driven a Lexus for 7 years prior to the Mercedes, I was used to reliability and perfection. Never expected a new car, especially a Mercedes, to have problems like this.
On the positive side, the car is quiet and luxurious on the inside with user friendly technology.
5/5 stars, Not the E63 beast, but she will do!
Steverino951,
AMG E 53 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric hybrid 9A)
Phenomenal tech, smooth as glass engine and decent fuel economy make the E53 a must have. Definitely worth the few $$'s over the E450. Get the upgraded steering wheel to allow fast changes in and out of sport or sport+ mode. Love the touchscreen and smooth trans. It is a bit tight on the interior though.
5/5 stars, E-Class Mercedes
Js,
E 350 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
The car met all my expectations. Having owned one before I was impressed with the updates they have made over the years. Smooth ride with all the toys.

2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class video
Thanks to a subtle elegance in design, a premium interior, smooth ride, and excellent driver aids, it's easy to see why the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has long been a favorite luxury sedan of ours. Key updates this year only sweeten the package, elevating the E-Class to our top-rated luxury sedan ahead of last year's winner, the A-Class. The E-Class is offered in a variety of models, yet they all share a common theme of driving pleasure, refinement, and sophisticated tech. The newly-available and very intuitive MBUX infotainment system gives users a variety of methods for control, whether you prefer touch or voice. It also has an augmented reality overlay for navigation prompts, greatly reducing the amount of stress and anxiety when trying to get around unfamiliar city streets. The quiet interior provides all-day comfortable seats with plenty of adjustments for occupants of all sizes. If you have a lot of road trips planned, spring for the massaging seats. Trust me, you will not regret it. No matter the engine you choose, from the turbo 4-cylinder to the 6-cylinder, to even the 8-cylinder, the E-Class accelerates seamlessly, whether it's under the command of your right foot or the brains behind the clever adaptive cruise control system. And as you would expect from Mercedes, all this comes wrapped with an exquisite level of fit and finish and plenty of additional add-ons. Subtle and dignified, yet capable and comfortable, the E-Class is what you should picture when someone says "luxury sedan."

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class takes the title as Top Rated Luxury Sedan in the Edmunds Top Rated Awards for 2021. Dethroning last year's winner, the smaller A-Class sedan, the E-Class is exactly the type of luxury car we have come to expect from Mercedes. A refreshed exterior,… restyled cabin and improved technology features elevate the 2021 Mercedes E-Class to the best luxury sedan for 2021.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. Audi A6
The Audi A6 is a luxury sedan with an eye toward performance, boasting excellent handling that is rare for cars of this size. There are two engines to choose from, and both come with a non-intrusive, fuel-saving mild hybrid system. All-wheel drive is also standard on the Audi, though the E-Class has more body types to offer.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. BMW 5 Series
The E-Class' arch nemesis, the 5 Series comes as a four-door sedan only. It has similar power figures, and while there is no mild hybrid system, the 5 Series offers a plug-in hybrid model with an estimated 21 miles of EV driving. Styling is rather traditional, though the 5 Series expertly balances performance and comfort, with impressive tech features too.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. Lexus ES 350
It may come standard with a 300-hp V6, but the ES 350 trails other luxury sedans when it comes to driving excitement. That's due to a front-wheel-drive layout and a soft suspension, but the benefit is a cushy ride and quiet cabin on the road. It's also far more affordable than rivals with excellent refinement, even in lower trim levels.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
