Overview

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With 2 trims on offer, the Mercedes Benz E Class has a base MSRP of $52,150, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $54,650, competing directly with the BMW 5-Series, the Audi A6, and the Volvo S90. Only a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.2 seconds, the Mercedes-Benz maintains a combined fuel economy of 25 MPG. Mercedes offers the E Class in 11 stunning colors, with the Lunar Blue metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

We think the base sport trim is good in every aspect but the Luxury trim comes in handy, if unblemished luxury and comfort is what you want in your expensive German sedan. We also suggest you go for the Acoustic Comfort Package ($1,100) and Premium 1 package ($3,100) to make your E-class even more sophisticated and safer.
