The 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class gets a refresh for 2021, helping it maintain its status as the class benchmark. The E-Class doesn't feel like a totally different car, but that's hardly a bad thing.

New 2021 E-Class with MBUX is a Great Car

gldman, 12/14/2020

2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 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 …

Love it, but have some concerns

2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 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 …

Edmunds saved me my coins!?! LOL

2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 350 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I’m so glad that I used the Edmunds new car pricing tool. Because of the tool I was able to get 9.6% off the retail price. Which was a few hundred dollars less than the suggested price. Of course , I had to do some serious negotiating because of the included options but it was worth it.

2020 E450 4MATIC SEDAN - A Diamond In The Rough!

Abaco Mike, 05/09/2020

2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 450 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 9A)

I've owned many Mercedes Benz vehicles because they are solidly built, dependable and possess the latest safety and technology features. My lease was up on my 2018 S450 so I decided on the E450 4MATIC Sedan. I picked it up on May 4th, 2020. What a car! The first noticeable attribute was the razor sharp cornering and handling with unbelievable acceleration and power. The … responsiveness of the car to driver input is phenomenal. My car is fully loaded with Driver's Assistance, Exterior Lighting, Parking Assistance, AMG, Premium, Panorama Roof, 19" AMG Wheels/Tires Packages. Impressive array of technology coupled with a smart phone app that provides huge amounts of data about the vehicle (Mercedes Me Connect). I love this car! Seats are comfortable and visibility outstanding. It is quieter than one would think for a 362 hp twin turbo V6 engine and performance all season run flat tires. Audio system is terrific with HD AM/FM tuning as well as Apple Car Play for hands-free control over music. The styling is more like a baby S Class Sedan with LED front and rear lights. I recommend a test drive in an E350 and then an E450 to truly appreciate the superiority of the E450 4MATIC (AWD). This is truly a vehicle made for a driver who appreciates a car that fits like a glove. I have owned this car for 7 months now and have 3900 miles on the odometer. I have not had to bring the car in to the service department in all these months except to change windshield wipers that tend to “chatter” in heavy, consistent rain. The problem remains to be a nuisance to me, but there are no satisfactory solutions to this problem after many visits to service to alleviate this annoying anomaly. The vehicle remains to be the best handling and most powerful car I have ever owned. The technology and safety features have kept me out of potentially dangerous situations such as backing out of a parking space and having the car brake automatically when an oncoming car or pedestrian approaches from the left or right rear of the car. The blind spot monitors have worked impeccably when on the interstate or on local highways. The advanced technology requires a tremendous learning curve to master (about 2-3 weeks) due to the various settings and adjustments, however well worth the time and patience as the results are amazing. The maneuverability of the car is truly awesome - it quickly responds to driver input and manages its way beautifully in heavy traffic. Acceleration is outstanding with the bi-turbo 362 hp V6 engine. Accessing the many technical and audio features via the controller or voice activation is well appreciated as is the advanced GPS system. In summary, I continue to enjoy this vehicle immensely.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, so we've included reviews for other years of the E-Class since its last redesign.
