The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a downsized version of the iconic S-class, promising to deliver equal parts comfort and style in a more manageable package. The current fifth-generation E-Class, released in 2017, has been updated for the mid-cycle refresh that models usually get at this point in their life cycle. The updates keep the car looking fresh against some of its newer competitors and the Mercedes e300 turned out to be the most classy car of this series.
Mercedes E300 Exterior
According to Mercedes, the new E-Class is more evolutionary than revolutionary. The German automaker has certainly managed to retain many of the elegant styling features of its predecessor, but look closer and you will see a few new LED headlights, redesigned alloy wheels, and wider brake lights.
The Mercedes E-Class’s grille has also undergone some changes: now it curves up as standard, sweeping down in sportier AMG Line models for a more aggressive look.
AMG Line forms include more power vaults and vertical grille supports than the past model, as well as unmistakable back light installations that emulate those on the more modest A-Class and CLA cars. Three new paint jobs are available:
- Graphite Grey
- Mojave Silver
- Cirrus Silver.
Extensive changes to the styling are evident, but the car still retains its Mercedes e300 identity, which is likely a positive for prospective buyers of luxury sedans.
Mercedes E300 Interior
The E-class’s cabin is elegant and an ideal choice for a car of its stature, featuring brushed aluminum and lovely wood accents. Each model comes standard with adaptable encompassing inside lighting, warmed front seats, a 12.3-inch computerized measure group, and memory settings for the drivers and passengers’ seats.
The Mercedes-Benz E300 sedan offers a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and massaging rear seats. The C300’s trunk is larger than those of some competitors, but it doesn’t fold completely flat; heavy items may not fit inside. With the rear seats folded down, you can carry 18 carry-on suitcases in the E300 sedan.
The new Mercedes E-Class accompanies two 10-inch shows, yet you can redesign these to monstrous 12.3-inch screens all things considered. The old rotational dial regulator has been supplanted by a touchscreen and a touchpad on the mid-control area – very much like in the new Mercedes GLE.
Mercedes’ latest infotainment system comes with a ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice assistant that lets you control the car’s cabin temperature and program the sat-nav on the move. What’s more, the E53 is accessible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Burmester sound system, and remote charging for your cell phone.

The E-class features a comfortable, composed ride and competent handling. In Comfort mode, its suspension softens bumps and potholes while the steering is nicely weighted. The cabin stays quiet on the highway and is well isolated from road noise.
The E-Class comes with a choice of four powertrains: a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.5L V6, a 4.6L V8, and a 5.5L twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Each is paired to a silky smooth nine-speed torque converter automatic transmission, which helps contribute to the E-Class’s luxury ride. Shifts are buttery and rarely even noticeable, which may not make driving an E-Class sporty but certainly makes it comfortable.
Conclusion
In the world of high-end automobiles, the Mercedes-Benz E-class stands out as a sophisticated ride. The 2021 E-class is accessible as a four-entryway car or two-entryway car and cabriolet, so it can match your way of life. The vehicle’s interior provides quiet comfort for its passengers and a pillowy ride that is not unlike that of an ultra-luxurious S-class – but at a much more affordable price.
