The E 450 model supplants last year's E 400 as the V6-powered option for the 2019 E-Class. Aside from gaining an extra 50 in Mercedes' badging department, the turbocharged 3.0-liter gets a boost of 33 horsepower and 15 pound-feet of torque, for a total of 362 hp and 369 lb-ft.

But the biggest news is one step up the E-Class hierarchy. The new AMG E 53 replaces the AMG E 43 as the entry-level performance model, and you can get it on the coupe and convertible in addition to the sedan. It still uses a turbocharged six-cylinder engine, but this time it's an inline-six paired to a starter-alternator fed by a 48-volt battery. The battery essentially recharges while coasting and braking, while the starter-alternator gives extra boost at low speeds, before the turbocharger kicks in. As a result, the AMG E 53 has slightly more power and better fuel economy than the E 450.

On top of all this, the E-Class continues to provide top-notch technology features and an impeccably crafted cabin. Whether you're after stately luxury, face-flattening performance or both, the E-Class' continuous improvements help make it one of our favorite midsize luxury vehicles.

Notably, we picked the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class as one of Edmunds' Best AWD Sedans and Best Midsize Sedans for this year.

Edmunds' Expert Rating

Which E-Class does Edmunds recommend?

Though the new AMG E 53 is significantly more powerful, we think most buyers would be served well by the standard E 450. Its twin-turbo V6 is nothing to sneeze at, and it'll save you a ton of money compared to upgrading to the AMG. The E 450 is very well-equipped to begin with, so you don't have to go crazy with the options list. That said, the Premium package is worth the upgrade, and if advanced driving aids are your radar, the Driver Assistance package offers many.

Compare 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class trim levels

2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class models

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a midsize luxury vehicle that comes in four body styles: a five-passenger sedan, a seven-passenger (thanks to a fold-down, rear-facing third row) wagon, and a four-passenger coupe and convertible. The sedan, coupe and convertible all come standard with rear-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive (dubbed 4Matic) either optional or standard, depending on the engine and body style. The four basic trim levels are tied to different powertrains: E 300 (sedan only), E 450 (sedan, wagon, coupe, convertible), AMG E 53 (sedan, coupe, convertible) and AMG E 63 S (sedan and wagon).

Standard equipment for the E-Class E 300 sedan includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (241 hp, 273 lb-ft of torque), a nine-speed automatic transmission, 17- or 18-inch wheels (depending on whether you choose the Luxury or Sport exterior styling), an adaptive suspension, LED headlights, auto-dimming mirrors, a sunroof, keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient lighting, simulated leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, driver-seat memory functions and 40/20/40-split folding rear seats.

Standard technology highlights for the E 300 are a 12.3-inch central display, Mercedes' COMAND infotainment system with a touchpad controller, a navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and two USB ports. Safety features include a rearview camera, a drowsy driver warning system, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.

The E 450 gets all of the E 300's equipment plus a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine (362 hp, 369 lb-ft). In addition to the above, the E 450 wagon has a power liftgate, the coupe has a panoramic sunroof, and the convertible receives a power-folding fabric top, Mercedes' Aircap wind deflector, the Airscarf neck warmer and a rear center pass-through. The coupe and the convertible also come with leather upholstery.

Sport and Luxury versions are available for both the E 300 and E 450. The Sport has bigger wheels, a sport-tuned suspension and special styling details. The Luxury gets some additional wheel and simulated-leather dash covering options and a different grille.

For the most part, the above variants share optional package availability, with one exception. The Convenience package — which includes keyless entry, heated front seats, satellite radio, a wireless charging pad, blind-spot monitoring, and a power trunklid (sedan) with hands-free activation — is only available on the E 300. The Premium package is available for both models, adding the contents of the Convenience package plus a wireless charging pad and a 13-speaker Burmester audio system.

For more power and some upgraded equipment, there's the new AMG E 53, which comes with most of the E 450's standard equipment, plus a stronger yet slightly more fuel-efficient mild hybrid powertrain. The centerpiece is a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine (429 hp, 384 lb-ft). The AMG E 53 also adds all-wheel drive, 19-inch wheels, AMG-developed or -tuned powertrain and suspension components, keyless entry, blind-spot monitoring and simulated suede upholstery.

At the top of the horsepower heap is the AMG E 63 S. It gets the E 53's equipment plus a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (603 hp, 627 lb-ft), 20-inch wheels, upgraded brakes, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and the contents of the Parking Assistance package (detailed below). Any E 63 S can be outfitted with carbon-ceramic brakes. The wagon also comes with a panoramic sunroof.

A number of packages are available throughout the model range, and they mostly center on active driving systems and comfort features. These include the Driver Assistance and Parking Assistance packages.

Many of the options from upper models can be ordered on the less expensive trims. Other notable options, whether they are stand-alone features or part of lightly contented packages, include an adaptive air suspension, soft-close doors, tri-zone climate control, an air fragrance system, an upgraded gauge cluster display, a head-up display, additional sound and solar insulation, multicontour front seats with massage functions, and a 23-speaker Burmester sound system. Numerous upholstery and trim options are also available.

Owners' Opinions

What Owners Like

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is celebrated for its superb balance of performance and luxury that appeals to discerning drivers. Owners consistently praise the interior design, often comparing the cabin's opulence to that of far more expensive marques, creating a sense of exclusivity and comfort unmatched in its class. The Burmester sound system is another standout feature, delivering an auditory experience that enhances the luxurious ambiance of the vehicle. Enthusiasts of the E-Class appreciate the versatile driving modes, like Sport and Sport+, which provide thrilling driving dynamics without sacrificing comfort for long journeys. The model's ambient lighting options are frequently highlighted, adding a sophisticated touch that enhances every drive, whether during a city commute or a nighttime highway cruise. Many owners find the E-Class engine offerings notably responsive, providing ample power across its lineup, and are also impressed with the efficiency, which aligns closely with expectations for a vehicle of its performance caliber. The vehicle also garners accolades for its spaciousness, particularly in body styles such as the wagon, which offers both versatility and practicality for various lifestyle needs.

Common Issues

The technology interface in the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is often a source of frustration for owners, who find the infotainment system overly complex and unintuitive. Several drivers report that navigating through the numerous menus can be distracting, especially when attempting to manage basic functions while on the road. Meanwhile, some drivers have expressed dissatisfaction with the vehicle's suspension, which can feel either too soft and floaty in certain sedan models or too firm over rough surfaces, resulting in an uncomfortable ride. Another recurring complaint involves the reliance on run-flat tires, which, while practical for emergencies, are often criticized for their harsh ride quality and frequent issues on the rough road conditions common in parts of the Northeast. The lack of standard safety features for a luxury vehicle at this price point is another concern, with owners noting that essential driver aids are locked behind additional packages. Electrical system quirks, such as erratic behavior of the mirrors and windows, further add to the frustration, sometimes requiring unconventional fixes. Lastly, the limited trunk space in certain models, particularly when comparing to expectations set by other luxury vehicles, leaves some owners wanting more practicality for daily use.

Final Takeaways from Everyday Drivers

Drivers find the day-to-day experience of owning a 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class to be generally rewarding, with the vehicle living up to its luxury reputation in many aspects. Its elegant interior design, frequently likened to that of high-end luxury brands, creates a consistently pleasurable environment whether commuting or taking long road trips. The performance, especially of the E 450 variant with its robust V6 engine, contributes to a satisfying driving experience, capable of managing both city traffic and open highways with ease. Owners appreciate the combination of power and efficiency, maintaining commendable fuel economy that doesn't compromise on the enjoyment factor. However, while the sophisticated technology adds a modern touch, some find the infotainment system can be a bit of a learning curve, disrupting the otherwise flawless ride. The practicality of the wagon model, with its expansive cargo area, proves indispensable for those needing more room without sacrificing luxurious comfort. The E-Class carves a distinctive niche among its rivals by balancing versatility and refinement, continuing to captivate those who value both extraordinary craftsmanship and everyday usability.
