Used 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is available in four body styles and three trim levels. The body styles are sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon. The sedan seats five passengers, and the coupe and convertible seat four. Notably, the sedan-based wagon also has two rear-facing third-row seats to boost seating for up to seven. The seats can be folded into the floor when not in use, though they are suitable for small children only. As for trims, Mercedes offers the E 350, E 450 and AMG E 53. Read on for more detail on the E-Class' engines and features.

The base E 350 is only available as a sedan, while the E 450 can be had as a sedan, coupe, convertible (also known as Cabriolet) or wagon (also known as All-Terrain). Meanwhile, the AMG E 53 is available as a sedan, coupe or convertible. The model name's number correlates to the kind of engine the car is equipped with, but otherwise standard features are broadly similar.

E 350
Starts off the E-Class lineup with:

  • Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (255 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque)
  • Nine-speed automatic transmission
  • Rear-wheel drive (all-wheel drive optional)
  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control

Standard technology features include:

  • Digital instrument cluster
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Onboard navigation system
  • Wireless phone charger

It also comes with:

  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

E 450
Similar to the E 350 but adds:

  • Turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (362 hp, 369 lb-ft)
  • Rear-wheel drive (on coupe and convertible; AWD optional)
  • All-wheel drive (on sedan and wagon)

AMG E 53
Ups the E-Class' performance and style by way of:

  • More powerful six-cylinder engine (429 hp, 384 lb-ft)
  • Sport-tuned all-wheel drive
  • Sport-tuned air suspension
  • AMG-specific exterior styling
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the E-Class and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Heated steering wheel (coupe only)
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Burmester sound system

The extra luxury-oriented features found on the AMG models are also available on the E 350 and E 450 as options. Other key packages or stand-alone options include:

  • Air suspension
  • Head-up display
  • Augmented reality navigation view (displays superimposed navigation information on a front-facing video camera view)
  • Leather or premium leather upholsteries
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Multi-contour front seats with massage function
  • Sport steering wheel (AMG models only)
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Soft-close doors
  • Burmester 3D surround-sound system

Also optional on all models is the Driver Assistance package, which comes with:

  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the E-Class back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)

Which E-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the E 450 is the sensible pick of the E-Class lineup. Its 362 horsepower is more appropriate for a car of this size than the E 350's 255 hp, and it also comes standard with all-wheel drive. Among the E-Class' available options, the Driver Assistance package is a near-must as it adds expected luxury car features such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance.
