Thanks: Mercedes - Benz Yılmazlar 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Starting at $ Highs Classy and cutting-edge interior, effortless and efficient six-cylinder engine, plush and planted ride. Lows Some unintuitive infotainment controls, protracted emergency-stopping distance, unimpressive base engine. Verdict The E-class is more elegant than exciting, but that’s a compliment rather than a critique. Overview There are sportier alternatives to the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-class, but few are as seamlessly high-class and high-tech. While the behind-the-wheel experience isn’t as exciting as that of its AMG-tuned twin­–the separately reviewed 429-hp E53–the regular E is subdued and serene. Its cabin is beautifully appointed, remarkably quiet, and fitted with flashy tech features such as the dual displays embedded in its dashboard. The E350 sedan is powered by a common-for-the-segment turbo four, but the E450 enjoys a sweet turbocharged straight-six. This strong, smooth mill is available in the sedan and standard on the coupe and cabriolet. Regardless of the powerplant, all body styles supplement their classy interiors with a cushy and composed ride. Add the 2022 E-class’s roster of advanced driver assists to its luxury appointments and quality assembly, and its esteemed position among mid-size luxury cars is evident, as is its spot on our Editors’ Choice list. What’s New for 2022? For 2022, Mercedes improves the E-class lineup with minor alterations. Every model now comes standard with automatic high-beam headlights. Also, several new paint colors are available. The expanded list includes Nautical Blue metallic, Starling Blue metallic, Manufacktur Moonlight White, and Manufacktur Starling Blue metallic. Pricing and Which One to Buy E350 Sedan: $56,000 E450 Sedan: $63,800 E450 coupe: $66,850 E450 cabriolet: $73,950 We recommend the sedan body style and advocate for the E450, with its potent six-cylinder powertrain and standard 4Matic all-wheel-drive system. It comes standard with blind-spot monitoring, a fully digital dashboard, heated front seats with memory settings, an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and passive entry. To that we’d add the optional air suspension, head-up display, heated steering wheel, multi-contour front seats with massage functions, and ventilated front-seat cushions. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Every E-class features an obedient nine-speed automatic transmission that pairs with three distinct engines. The E350 has a turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with either rear- or all-wheel drive. The E450 is powered by a turbocharged inline-six-cylinder engine with a 48-volt hybrid system that doubles as an electric supercharger. The setup sends 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet to all four wheels. Since the E-class is a comfort-biased car, its handling is competent but not sporty. It leans in corners, but it rarely feels overwhelmed when pushed hard. With the optional air suspension in its Comfort setting, the ride is creamy, and the E-class is perfect for gobbling up lots of road. It glides over pavement imperfections with only slight notification of such unpleasantries communicated to the cabin. With the drive-mode selector set to either Comfort or Eco, the steering is nicely weighted—not too light, not too heavy—and feels accurate. The E-class tracks straight on the freeway with a solid and predictable nature, and feedback from the road is muted. Unfortunately, the E450 we tested needed a long 187 feet to stop from 70 mph. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The four-cylinder E350 earned ratings of 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway with rear-wheel drive and 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway with all-wheel drive. The more powerful E450 model is just as efficient with ratings of 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Once we have the chance to test the different powertrains on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test route, we can evaluate their real-world mpg.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo The E-class’s cabin is beautifully detailed with brushed aluminum, lovely wood, and some of the most comfortable seats we’ve ever tested. Every model comes standard with customizable ambient interior lighting, heated front seats, a digital gauge cluster, and memory settings for the driver’s and front passenger seat. Desirable options include a head-up display, massaging front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and ventilated front-seat cushions. Under its shapely rear end is a trunk that offers less space than some rivals, but the Benz has them beat when it comes to interior cubby storage. Read More 📌 Instagram ▶ 📌 Tiktok ▶ @cartvpress
