How much does the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class cost?

Prices have softened 7.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,394 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $23,340.76, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class a good car?

Yes — the 4.76/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert rating is 8.00/10. The model scores 10/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners consistently praise the smooth ride, luxurious interior, powerful performance, advanced features, and elegant styling. The overview also frames it as a premium midsize luxury car for buyers who want a no-compromise experience, which fits the way the reviews describe it.

With 28.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively while still finding strong examples.

Is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 4.76/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a car that feels dependable in daily use, with praise for the smooth ride, luxurious interior, powerful performance, advanced features, and elegant styling. That same feedback also suggests you can count on it for the kind of refined, trouble-free ownership experience many luxury shoppers want.

The expert drive notes that the car is calm, noise-proof, and composed, which reinforces the sense that it’s built for long-term comfort and confidence. It also highlights that the E-Class is a superb car, but only if you can swallow the price tag.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that high maintenance costs can become more noticeable after the warranty period.

What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

At 61.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on cars with higher mileage or visible cosmetic wear. Focus on how the cabin, electronics, and ride quality feel in person, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on refinement and feature performance.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is described as especially rich in the Luxury Line, which replaces the more aggressive Mercedes logo treatment with a classic thin-lined grille and standing hood ornament on certain sedan and wagon models. The coupe leans into sport styling, while the Luxury Line is the better fit if you want the more understated, upscale look.
• Powertrain: The E300 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque, while the E400 uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 329 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. The four-cylinder is described as underpowered for the car’s weight, while the V6 is the better choice for confident passing and smoother everyday use.
• Safety package: Mercedes calls its suite “Car-to-X Communication,” and the car also includes Pre-Safe Sound, side-bolster inflation in a side collision, brake assist in an impending crash, crosswind stabilization, steering assistance around obstacles, automatic braking for crossing traffic and pedestrians, and adaptive cruise control that can react to changing speed limits. Many of these features are optional, and several are tied to the expensive Premium 3 package.
• Infotainment: The tech setup includes a Wi-Fi hotspot, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a built-in web browser, a head-up display, and a configurable instrument panel. The system is loaded, but it can also feel complex, so make sure every screen, control, and connected feature works properly.
• Fuel efficiency: The E300 is EPA-rated at 22 mpg city and 30 highway, while the E300 4Matic is rated at 21/29. The E400 coupe is rated at 20/26, and the E400 4Matic wagon at 19/25. The expert review also notes 29 mpg in a highway-heavy run for the rear-wheel-drive E300 and 23 mpg over 600 miles in the E400.

Which 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class trim should I buy?

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is offered in 4 trim levels: E300 sedan, E300 4Matic sedan, E400 coupe, E400 4Matic wagon.

Here's the short version:

• E300 sedan: This is the entry point and the most affordable way into the E-Class, but the four-cylinder is described as underpowered for the car’s size. It makes sense if you want the badge and luxury experience at the lowest starting price, but it is not the most satisfying choice.
• E300 4Matic sedan: This adds all-wheel drive for extra traction, but the same powertrain criticism still applies. It’s the better pick if you need AWD and want to stay with the sedan body style.
• E400 coupe: This is the best-value choice if you want the strongest overall balance of performance and luxury. The V6 is the recommended engine, and the coupe’s styling and driving character make it the most appealing version for many shoppers.
• E400 4Matic wagon: This is the right pick if you want the V6 plus wagon utility and all-weather confidence. It’s the most specialized choice here, and it suits you best if cargo flexibility matters as much as luxury.

Most of the safety and semi-autonomous features are locked into the expensive Premium 3 package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 28.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,394 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,340.76, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class's resale value?

The current average of $23,636 sits slightly below last year's $25,633.

That price movement suggests the market has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help if you buy now and hold the car for a while. For a future seller, the softer pricing means there may be less room for appreciation, but it also indicates the car is already in a more buyer-friendly zone than it was a year ago.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.76/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class safe?

It earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS and five-star ratings overall, in frontal and side crash tests, and for rollover vulnerability from NHTSA.

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Mercedes’ named safety suite includes Car-to-X Communication, Pre-Safe Sound, side-bolster inflation in a side collision, brake-force boosting, crosswind compensation, obstacle-avoidance steering support, automatic braking for crossing traffic and pedestrians, and adaptive cruise control that can respond to changing speed limits. Many of these features are optional, and several are bundled into the Premium 3 package.

Should I buy a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2018 if:

• 28.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.76/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary says you get what you pay for, and that the E-Class is one of the finest luxury cars on the face of the planet.

The bottom line: The 2018 is the right choice if you want the strongest mix of luxury, technology, and safety in this price band, especially now that prices have eased. If you’re more price-sensitive, a nearby model year may be worth comparing, but the 2018 stands out as the better buy when you want the full E-Class experience and can verify condition carefully.
