How The 2025 E-Class Stands Above The Rest
The 2025 E-Class does more than just drive automotive excellence forward – it leads the charge.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has consistently defined innovative luxury in the automotive world, and the all-new 2025 model is no exception. Recently recognized as Motortrend’s 2025 Car of the Year, one of the automotive industry’s highest honours, the latest iteration in the E-Class line merges timeless design with groundbreaking innovation, reaffirming its position as the pinnacle of midsize luxury vehicles.
Performance & Engineering Excellence
Under the hood, the E-Class offers a range of powertrains designed to cater to diverse driving preferences. The E 350 models are equipped with a 2.0-liter inline-4 turbocharged engine, delivering 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0-100 kmph in 6.1 seconds. For those seeking enhanced performance, the E 450 4MATIC® features a 3.0-liter inline-6 turbo engine with mild hybrid drive, producing 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds.
These powertrains are complemented by a 9-speed automatic transmission, ensuring seamless gear shifts and optimal fuel efficiency. The integration of mild hybrid technology across the lineup enhances both performance and environmental sustainability, reflecting Mercedes-Benz's commitment to engineering excellence.
Design & Aesthetics
The 2025 E-Class presents a refined exterior that balances classic Mercedes-Benz design elements with modern enhancements. The elongated wheelbase contributes to a stately presence, while subtle longitudinal strakes on the fenders evoke the heritage of the classic Gullwing, visually extending the vehicle's profile. The sedan's side view is understated yet sophisticated and the wagon variant, with its tapered daylight opening, achieves a sleek shooting brake silhouette.
Interior Luxury & Technological Innovation
Stepping inside the E-Class reveals an interior meticulously crafted to provide unparalleled comfort and advanced technology. The cabin features high-quality materials, including available leather upholstery and natural grain wood trims, creating an ambiance of refined luxury. The increased dimensions offer generous headroom and legroom, ensuring a spacious environment for all occupants.
At the forefront of the technological suite is the MBUX infotainment system, accessible via a 12.3-inch touchscreen. This system supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, allowing seamless smartphone integration. Optional features such as the MBUX Superscreen and a 3D instrument cluster further elevate the driving experience, providing intuitive access to vehicle functions and real-time information.
