Pros
- Exquisite cabin with excellent design and comfort features
- Driver assistance technology works great
- Vast array of personalization options
- High-horsepower AMG models are fun to drive
Cons
- Sedan's cargo capacity is small for the class
- Standard suspension can ride stiffly over rough surfaces
What's new
- Refreshed exterior design
- MBUX infotainment system replaces previous COMAND system
- E 450 now powered by an inline-six mild hybrid powertrain
- E 450 wagon is renamed All-Terrain
- Part of the fifth E-Class generation introduced for 2017
Though the fifth-generation E-Class has been on sale since 2017, Mercedes-Benz has done an admirable job making its midsize luxury car feel new at every turn. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class takes these constant updates even further, with a refreshed exterior and a slightly restyled cabin.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 450 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 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 $3.96 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

Avg. Midsize Car
The headlights and taillights closely resemble those on the smaller A-Class, while the grille is similar to the one on the GLE SUV. Inside, the E-Class gets Mercedes' latest MBUX infotainment system. It's a huge improvement over the older interface. The E-Class also gets a new steering wheel with capacitive touch controls, though the layout is functionally the same as the old one. Also new for the E 450 is a turbocharged inline-six engine paired to a mild hybrid system. It uses an electric motor that provides a bit of extra power when leaving from a stop and is slightly more fuel-efficient than the previous V6.
The E-Class is available as a sedan, a coupe, convertible and a wagon, which Mercedes now calls the All-Terrain. That means you're going to have a wide range of competitors to cross-shop. The E-Class' primary competitor has long been the BMW 5 Series. The current 5 Series keeps the pressure on with a wealth of features and a plug-in hybrid variant for those looking for carpool access. The Audi A6 sedan and A6 Allroad wagon, meanwhile, were recently redesigned and count a high-tech cabin among their many strengths. And buyers looking for something sleek and stylish might want to check out the new Cadillac CT5 sedan or Mercedes' own CLS.
Which E-Class does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest going with the midlevel E 450 4Matic. It comes with standard all-wheel drive and Mercedes' new six-cylinder engine with a mild hybrid system for smooth power and improved fuel economy. It's also not priced much higher than the E 350 4Matic. We suggest springing for the optional air suspension and Burmester audio system since they really help nail the luxury car feel.
2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class models
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is one of the most multifaceted vehicles on the market. You can get the E-Class as a sedan, wagon, coupe or convertible, each available in multiple trims: E 350 (sedan only), E 450 (sedan, wagon, coupe, convertible), AMG E 53 (sedan, coupe, convertible) and AMG E 63 S (sedan and wagon) — each corresponding to a different powertrain.
E 350
The sedan-only E 350 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (255 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque) paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive (4Matic) is available. Standard feature highlights include:
- LED headlights
- Simulated leather upholstery (MB-Tex)
- Power-adjustable and heated front seats
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Sunroof
- 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display
- MBUX infotainment interface
- Digital instrument cluster
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
- Keyless entry with push-button start
- Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
- Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
Noteworthy options on the E-Class sedan include:
- Larger wheels
- Air suspension (can raise or lower the ride height of the vehicle)
- Augmented video for easier navigation prompts
- MBUX Interior Assistant (can operate controls with hand gestures)
- Head-up display
- Surround-view camera (gives you a top-down view of the E-Class and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
- Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
- Premium Burmester audio system
- Leather and premium leather upholsteries
- Wireless charging pad
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ventilated front seats
- Massaging front seats
- Driver Assistance package
- Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
- Active steering assist (works with adaptive cruise control to keep the car centered in the lane, even around gentle curves)
- Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
- Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
E 450
The E 450 is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and the All-Terrain wagon. The coupe and convertible come standard with rear-wheel drive; all-wheel drive (4Matic) is optional on those and standard on the sedan and wagon. Mercedes is calling the 2021 E 450 wagon the All-Terrain. It's the same general design as in prior years but now has plastic fender body cladding and a slightly higher ride height.
All E 450s are powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine paired to a mild hybrid system (362 hp, 369 lb-ft) mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Standard and optional features of the E 450 are similar to those of the E 350.
AMG E 53
Mercedes offers two performance variants of the E-Class. The AMG E 53 is available as a sedan, coupe or convertible. They have the turbocharged six-cylinder engine but here it makes 429 hp and 384 lb-ft. All E 53 models come with a sport-tuned all-wheel-drive system. Standard features mirror those on the E 450 models but add a few AMG-specific touches such as a sport-tuned air suspension and special wheels and exterior styling.
AMG E 63
The range-topping AMG E 63 is a brute, powered by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (603 hp, 627 lb-ft) that sends power to all four wheels through a specially designed nine-speed automatic transmission. The AMG E 63 is only available as a sedan or wagon. Features build on the AMG E 53, adding even more performance-tuned goodies such as:
- 20-inch wheels
- Upgraded suspension tuning
- AMG exhaust
- AMG-specific MBUX functions
- Standard AMG Track Pace app
Options on the E 63 include options available on the E 53 plus:
- Carbon-fiber trim package
- Carbon-ceramic brakes for improved braking performance

2021 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."

Should I lease or buy a 2021 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.
