The latest E-Class is thoroughly updated—does it still deliver the E's traditional goodness?
that does duty as a taxi cab outside the U.S., serves as an upscale suburban commuter, and still makes time to rip up the asphalt in the form of a 600-plus-horsepower family wagon.
The E350 is good for 255 hp and 295 lb-ft while the E450 comes with a healthy 375 hp and 369 lb-ft. Both engines are mated to a nine-speed automatic. After that year in a 2021 E450, we found the refined, smooth, and quiet engine was the best part of the car.The same is true about the new 2024 E450 4Matic. Beyond its refinement, the E450 justifies its place in the lineup with effortless and smooth acceleration.
That screen includes digital controls for temperature and air speed-—so no physical buttons or knobs here—and a tiny physical volume slider just below the bottom right corner. Just like the Mercedes' touch-sensitive steering wheel controls, they're not intuitive at first but in our experience driving a 2021 E450 for a year, you can eventually learn where the important controls are without looking down. And when that doesn't work, there's always the improved voice commands.
A 360-degree camera, active parking assist, augmented video for the navigation system, and a self-parking system are also all standard, strengthening our belief Mercedes is moving past the days of base trims with unimpressive levels of equipment.Loaded cars will have an automatic lane change feature we experienced and appreciate.
Interior space has never been an E-Class strength, but the 2024 model is slightly bigger in the back seat. The back seat feels appropriately midsize but not cavernous. The only head-scratcher is the opening for entry and exit, which is a bit small.
