How much does the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class cost?

Prices have softened 8.74% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,053 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class a good car?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class earns an 8.3/10 expert rating.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Technology.

It is described as refined, sophisticated, and soothing to drive, with a clear strength in ride quality and an interior that blends premium materials with impressive technology. The redesign keeps the car’s understated, long-standing Mercedes-Benz character while giving you a more modern cabin and a stronger tech presence.

The trade-offs are a high price and poor fuel economy, plus minor driving-assistance irritations. Even so, it is positioned as a strong fit if you want a midsize luxury sedan that feels calm, upscale, and highly advanced.

Good and great deals account for 37.2% of listings, so you still have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is presented as a polished, well-developed redesign with standard mild-hybrid drivetrains and a strong emphasis on everyday usability. Its expert evaluation also highlights a calm, refined driving experience and a cabin that feels thoughtfully executed.

The performance notes point to a powertrain that feels swift in normal driving, with the 48-volt mild-hybrid system helping support efficiency and smooth operation. The technology package is also described as quick, intuitive, and easy to use, which matters for long-term satisfaction because complicated systems can become a burden if they are frustrating.

The cost-effectiveness discussion adds that the first three years of scheduled maintenance are complimentary on a rival, which makes the E-Class’s ownership proposition more dependent on how well you value its technology and refinement. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a highly optioned luxury sedan can become expensive to keep in top shape if prior maintenance was inconsistent.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper paper trail. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the condition of the electronics, driver-assistance systems, and any optional equipment, since this model can be heavily optioned. It also makes sense to compare cars by equipment level, because the most desirable features are spread across packages rather than concentrated in every example.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes E 350 4Matic and E 450 4Matic models in sedan form. The E-Class can be heavily optioned, and the test car lacked a handful of extras and the Multicontour Seating Package, which adds massaging front seats, an Air Balance air purification and fragrance system, and Energizing Comfort Plus programs.
• Powertrain: The E 350 4Matic uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, while the E 450 4Matic uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder with 375 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Both use a nine-speed automatic, standard 4Matic all-wheel drive, and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system.
• Safety package: The Driver Assistance Package adds 15 technologies, including upgraded Pre-Safe pre-collision features, Active Emergency Stop Assist, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping, lane-centering, lane-change systems, Automatic Lane Change, Active Speed Limit Assist, and Route-based Speed Adaptation. It is optional rather than standard.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation display and a 14.4-inch infotainment touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, along with a navigation system with augmented video technology and the ability to save up to 800 vehicle settings across seven driver profiles.
• Fuel efficiency: The E 350 is rated at 27 mpg in combined driving, though the test vehicle returned 23.8 mpg in evaluation.

Which 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class trim should I buy?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is offered in 2 trim levels: E 350 4Matic and E 450 4Matic.

Here's the short version:

• E 350 4Matic: This is the better-value choice if you want the core E-Class experience with strong standard equipment, a 255-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, standard all-wheel drive, and the full modern cabin tech. It should suit most buyers who care more about refinement and features than maximum power.
• E 450 4Matic: Choose this if you want the stronger 375-horsepower inline-six and quicker acceleration. It is the more powerful, more expensive option, so it makes the most sense if you want extra performance to match the E-Class’s luxury feel.

The Driver Assistance Package is optional, so if advanced driver assistance matters to you, make sure the car you’re considering has it.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile opportunities.

• Deal availability: 37.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,053 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.74% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $52,158, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class's resale value?

The current average of $52,158 sits slightly below last year's $57,153.

That decline suggests the market has moved in buyers’ favor, which can help you get into the car at a more reasonable entry point. For a future seller, though, it also means you should expect depreciation pressure to remain part of the ownership picture.

Because the E-Class is a premium, option-heavy sedan, resale value will likely depend a lot on condition, mileage, and equipment. A well-kept example with desirable packages should hold up better than one that feels lightly equipped or poorly maintained.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class safe?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Every 2024 E-Class includes numerous safety features, but the full suite of advanced driver assistance systems requires the Driver Assistance Package. That package adds upgraded Pre-Safe pre-collision features, Active Emergency Stop Assist, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping, lane-centering, lane-change systems, Automatic Lane Change, Active Speed Limit Assist, and Route-based Speed Adaptation.

The expert evaluation notes that the lane-centering system can feel a little unsure on curvier roads, and the speed-assist features can be intrusive when traffic conditions and posted limits do not match real-world flow. Even so, lane-keeping assistance is described as impressively effective in daily driving.

Should I buy a 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 37.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.74% compared with last year.
• It gives you the redesigned E-Class with a more modern cabin, strong technology, and a refined, soothing driving character.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned E-Class with its upgraded tech and polished luxury feel, the 2024 is the one to target. If your priority is stretching your budget, a nearby model year may be worth a look, but the 2024 stands out for its blend of refinement, technology, and improving market pricing.
