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

Prices have softened 8.40% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,365 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

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

Yes — the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class earns a 4.76/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners consistently praise the smooth ride, luxurious interior, powerful performance, advanced features, and elegant styling. That lines up with the E-Class’s role as a midsize luxury car aimed at buyers who want a polished, high-end experience rather than a stripped-down commuter.

With 36.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a car that feels dependable in daily use, with repeated praise for the smooth ride, luxurious interior, and powerful performance. The same feedback also highlights advanced features and elegant styling, which suggests the E-Class delivers the kind of ownership experience buyers expect from a premium sedan.

The expert drive notes reinforce that sense of composure, describing the car as calm, noise-proof, and easy to live with over long distances. That kind of relaxed character usually supports confidence in used ownership, though premium-car maintenance costs can still be a factor as the miles add up.

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

At 60.4% 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 if the car has been optioned heavily or shows signs of wear. Focus on condition details that matter most in a luxury car: interior wear, electronics, suspension feel, and evidence of prior bodywork or repairs.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin presentation is a major differentiator, with a VIP-lounge feel, inlaid wood, bright ambient lighting in 64 colors, and upscale materials that help separate the better-equipped versions from simpler builds. The Luxury Line is called out as the richer-looking choice for sedan and wagon models, while the coupe leans more toward sport styling.
• Powertrain: The E300 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-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 E300 is described as underpowered for the E-Class, while the E400 is the better choice for confident passing and smoother overall performance.
• Safety package: Mercedes includes Car-to-X Communication, Pre-Safe Sound, automatic braking that can detect crossing traffic and pedestrians, and adaptive cruise control that can respond to changing speed limits. Some features are optional, and rear side airbags were optional on the tested car.
• Infotainment: The E-Class offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a built-in web browser, voice inputs, a head-up display, and highly configurable digital displays. The tech suite is extensive, but many of the most advanced features are tied to the Premium 3 package.
• 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 is rated at 19/25.

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

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is offered in 6 trim levels: E300 sedan, E300 4Matic sedan, E400 coupe, E400 4Matic coupe, E400 wagon, and 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 2.0-liter turbo four 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 strongest choice if you care about effortless acceleration.
• E300 4Matic sedan: This adds all-wheel drive to the same 2.0-liter turbo setup, which can be useful if you want extra traction. It still carries the same powertrain compromise, so it is best for buyers who value security in poor weather more than outright performance.
• E400 coupe: This is the best-value choice if you want the strongest balance of power and luxury. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 is described as the best engine choice, and the coupe body adds a more distinctive look without moving into AMG territory.
• E400 4Matic coupe: Choose this if you want the coupe’s style plus all-wheel drive. It is the right fit if you live where traction matters and you still want the stronger V6.
• E400 wagon: This is the practical pick if you want more utility without giving up the V6. It is a good fit for buyers who want luxury and cargo flexibility in one package.
• E400 4Matic wagon: This is the most versatile non-AMG version, combining the wagon body with all-wheel drive. It suits buyers who want maximum everyday usefulness and traction.

Most of the advanced safety and semi-autonomous features are locked into the expensive Premium 3 package, so you should check option content carefully before you buy.

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

The market looks selective rather than overheated, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,365 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.40% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,299, 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 $23,427 sits slightly below last year's $25,574.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy well, you may be starting from a more favorable price base than a year ago, but future resale will still depend heavily on condition, mileage, and option content.

Because this is a premium car with meaningful depreciation, the best resale outcomes usually come from clean history, strong maintenance records, and desirable equipment. A well-kept example should be easier to move later than one with accident history or visible wear.

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?

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with five-star ratings in frontal and side crash tests and for rollover vulnerability.

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

Mercedes includes Car-to-X Communication, which can send safety alerts about slippery roads and poor weather to other E-Class drivers nearby. Other highlighted systems include Pre-Safe Sound, automatic braking that can detect crossing traffic and pedestrians, adaptive cruise control that responds to changing speed limits, and crash-avoidance support that can help steer around an obstacle when braking.

Some of these features are optional, and rear side airbags were optional on the tested car. That means you should verify the exact safety equipment on any used example before you buy.

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:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.40% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.76/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• You want a year that combines strong tech, top-tier safety, and a luxury-first driving experience.

The bottom line: The 2018 model is the right path if you want the E-Class experience at a softer used-car price and you are willing to shop carefully for condition and history. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-equipped example rather than chasing the newest badge alone.
