2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review

- Exquisite cabin that sets new standards for design and comfort
- Driver assistance technology works great
- Vast array of personalization options
- High-horsepower AMG models are fun to drive
- Sedan's cargo capacity is small for the class
- Standard suspension can ride stiffly over rough surfaces
- The E 350 replaces last year's E 300 and gets a bump in horsepower
- A few previously optional features are now standard
- Part of the fifth E-Class generation introduced for 2017
There are some truly great midsize luxury sedans on sale today, but only one can be considered the best. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class rightfully deserves the top spot in its segment, and you'll get a similar greatness with the coupe, convertible and wagon variants too. With all of these body styles and a diverse selection of engine and trim levels, there's likely an E-Class to fit your desires and budget.
For 2020, Mercedes has added a bit more power to the base E 350 (formerly the E 300). You also get a few more standard features that used to be optional. Otherwise, the E-Class returns mostly unchanged, which is a good thing. We continue to praise its refined interior that is as comfortable as it is attractive. There is also a long list of customization options to set yours apart from the rest. And we're fans of the way Mercedes blends the classic luxury aesthetic with all of the latest tech offerings.
There are a few minor downsides, such as smaller-than-average cargo capacity and a rather stiff ride quality from the standard suspension. But if you're in the market for a midsize luxury car, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class in all of its guises deserves your consideration if not adulation.
Performance
The steering, while lacking some feedback, is very accurate, and the steering wheel feels robust in your hands. Small inputs make for impressive amounts of response and precision. Despite the E 53's hefty curb weight, it handles extremely well. Unless you need the most expensive E-Class, the E 63, purely for bragging rights, the performance of the E 53 is all you'll ever really need.
Comfort
Both the front and rear seats are comfortable for long periods and provide you with enough support to hold you in place around turns. The climate control system can cool or heat the cabin quickly, and redundant controls help dial in your ideal temperature. The optional heated and ventilated seats also work great.
Interior
Otherwise, the E-Class' interior design is excellent. It's easy to get in and out, and the driver's seat and steering wheel are highly adjustable to make drivers of just about any size happy. Outward visibility is also quite good thanks to a low dashboard and tall windows.
Technology
The optional Burmester sound system has good sound quality and easy-to-adjust settings, but maxed-out sound levels leave a little bit to be desired. The E-Class' driver aids work effectively and aren't distracting. There are also some unique features such as Pre-Safe Sound.
Storage
For child safety seat installation, the E-Class has easy-to-locate bottom anchor points and three top tether points. There's plenty of rear seat space to fit most child seats.
Fuel Economy
Value
Mercedes matches BMW and Audi with a basic and powertrain warranty of four years/50,000 miles as well as roadside assistance covering the same. But Cadillac and Lexus have longer coverage.

Which E-Class does Edmunds recommend?
2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class models
The 2020 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 350 (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 350 sedan includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (255 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque), a nine-speed automatic transmission, an adaptive suspension, LED headlights, auto-dimming mirrors, a sunroof, simulated leather upholstery, and power-adjustable front seats. You also get a 12.3-inch central display screen, a navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and advanced safety features that include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.
The E 450 has all of the E 350's equipment plus a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine (362 hp, 369 lb-ft). From here, you can get more luxury-oriented features as part of the Convenience and Premium packages.
For more power and some upgraded equipment, there's the AMG E 53, which comes with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine (429 hp, 384 lb-ft). The AMG E 53 also pads on AMG-developed or -tuned powertrain and suspension components.
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), additional performance upgrades and more standard features.
Several 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 stand-alone features or part of packages — include numerous upholstery and trim selections, an adaptive air suspension, an air fragrance system, a head-up display, multicontour front seats, and the Burmester sound system.

Safety
Our experts like the E-Class models:
- Driver Drowsiness Monitor
- Helps mitigate an accident by monitoring signs of driver fatigue.
- Evasive Steering Assist
- Calculates extra steering torque during an evasive maneuver to help the driver avoid a collision and maintain control of the car.
- Pre-Safe Sound
- Reduces hearing damage from an accident by emitting a specific noise that triggers an inner-ear muscle reflex to protect hearing.

Should I lease or buy a 2020 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.
