2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Starting at $63.350

Highs: Sweetly smooth ride, richly refined inline-six, a cocoon of luxury.
Lows: Has gained 170 pounds, AI-infused tech is watching you.
Verdict: The new E-class blurs the line between mid-size and S-class size, and carries into this new generation with grace and abundant luxury.

Overview
The E-class sedan is executive transport with a distinctly Mercedes-Benz attitude, offering nearly as much class and substance as the S-class flagship with a slightly less imposing profile. Entry-level E350 models are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder powertrain with 255 horsepower while E450s turn up the heat to 375 horsepower courtesy of a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six. All-wheel drive is standard, and all models come luxuriously equipped and include a generous list of driver-assistance and infotainment features. Other European rivals like the Audi A6 and the BMW 5-series offer similar space and equipment but neither brand has quite the prestige that comes with a Mercedes-Benz badge.

What's New for 2024?
This year marks the start of an all-new generation of the E-class sedan, which has been redesigned from the ground up with more technology and luxury than the outgoing model. The four- and six-cylinder powertrains have received hybrid assistance this year resulting in power boosts, and the exterior styling wears a handsome new look. Inside, a host of new technology features pepper the cabin. We expect to see the 2024 E-class in dealer showrooms by the end of 2023.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-class starts at $63.350 and goes up to $71.800 depending on the trim and options.

In addition to the choice of four-cylinder E350 or six-cylinder E450 engine choices, the E-class also offers a few different trim levels with varying levels of equipment: Premium and Pinnacle. There will also be standalone options including an MBUX Superscreen upgrade that adds a passenger-side screen, plus an air suspension and other chassis upgrades, but we don't yet know how much those extras will cost.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Under the E350's scalloped hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that pairs with a 23-hp electric motor for a combined 255 horsepower. The E450 model gets a similar hybrid setup for its turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, which brings the total to 375 horsepower. The hybrid systems are said to reduce turbo lag and smooth the operation of the auto start/stop system. We haven't driven the E350 yet, but the E450's inline-six deploys its power like a cream and does so quietly. When we get a chance, we'll take the E350 and E450 to our test track and update this story with acceleration numbers. An adjustable air suspension is optional and replaces the steel-spring arrangement that comes standard; a rear-wheel steering system is also available and is said to improve maneuverability in tight spaces.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Unsurprisingly, the E-class's cabin is focused on comfort and quality. Passenger space appears generous in photos and the interior is lined with rich-looking materials such as leather upholstery and metal trim. Overall, the design is high-end and nicely complements the car's handsome exterior styling. Although the E-class has been offered as a coupe and a convertible in the past, we're expecting this generation to stick strictly to a four-door layout.
