How it scores for you10 scores
A screen-laden tech tour de force wrapped in the class's most soothing ride; long-term electronics complexity is the wild card.
Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years; 4 of its 7 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,900 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 39% of cars we track.
Cargo volume isn't published for this car.
Roomy midsize rear seat; packaging typical of the class leader.
Polished and swift, with the 577-hp E53 adding bite, but tuned decisively for calm over engagement.
MB.OS with optional Superscreen, selfie camera, and app streaming leads the class.
Sumptuous ride and hushed cabin extend the E-Class's comfort benchmark.
Luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
