The Mercedes E-Class remains one of today's highest-rated midsize luxury sedans. Few models in the segment can match its performance, innovation, and overall luxuriousness. When shopping for a new E-Class, some drivers will be deciding between the E 350 and the E 450 trim levels. Here's an overview of how these two trims compare.
Performance
Powering the E 350 is a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine with mild-hybrid assist. It develops 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Impressive fuel efficiency makes the E 350 great for everyday driving. A nine-speed automatic transmission seamlessly feeds power to the wheels. Meanwhile, adaptive suspension dampers promote precise handling and a silky smooth ride. A 4MATIC AWD system is available as an option.
If you hunger for more performance, step up to the more powerful E 450. Underneath its hood rests a 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline-six engine with mild-hybrid assist. Mercedes-Benz tunes the engine to deliver 375 horsepower and 369 lb‑ft of torque. Like the E 350, the E 450 features a nine-speed automatic transmission. However, all-wheel drive becomes standard equipment.
Appearance
Many drivers are drawn to this sedan's upscale appearance. Sporty AMG styling is now standard, accentuating the E 350's muscular profile. A star-pattern grille adds a signature touch to the front fascia. Mercedes also equips the E 350 with a standard panorama roof and 18-inch alloy wheels. Expect the E 450 to have a similar look.
Features
The E 350's plush cabin comes loaded with must-have creature comforts, including dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats. You'll also be surrounded by plenty of modern tech features. Mercedes-Benz's intuitive multimedia system features a 14.4‑inch touchscreen with augmented-reality navigation. Other highlights include a suite of advanced safety innovations, a hands-free trunk, a 360-degree camera system, and a wireless charger. The E 450 is similarly equipped.
