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

Prices have softened 9.40% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,320 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

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

Yes — the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class earns a 4.8/5 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. In practical terms, that lines up with the E-Class’s role as a high-end midsize luxury car for you if you want a polished, upscale experience rather than a bargain. The market also shows 36.0% good or great deals, which suggests there are still some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a car that feels smooth, luxurious, and powerful, while also being appreciated for advanced features and elegant styling. The expert assessment also emphasizes that the E-Class is built to deliver a refined, calm driving experience, with a composed ride and a sense that you get what you pay for. Mercedes also frames the car as a model that can be a fantastic used buy coming off a lease.

The main long-term ownership risk for used buyers is the potential for higher maintenance costs after the warranty period, along with minor wear-and-tear concerns.

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

At 58.8% 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 you’re considering a car with higher mileage or visible cosmetic wear. Focus on signs of past bodywork, interior wear, and any evidence that maintenance may have been deferred. Because this is a premium model, condition matters a lot: a well-kept example can feel dramatically different from one that has been neglected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The E-Class lineup includes sedan, coupe, wagon, and AMG versions, and the Luxury Line is available only on E300/E400 sedan and E400 wagon models. That package swaps in a classic thin-lined grille and standing hood ornament, while the coupe uses a more sport-oriented look with pillarless styling and powered rear half windows.
• 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 V6 is the stronger choice, and the performance notes also mention that the E300 can feel underpowered in this heavier car.
• Safety package: Mercedes includes Car-to-X Communication, Pre-Safe Sound, automatic braking that can detect crossing traffic and people, steering and brake support in certain emergency situations, and adaptive cruise control that can respond to changing speed limits. Many of these features are optional, and several are tied to the expensive Premium 3 package.
• Infotainment: The cabin includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a built-in web browser, and a highly configurable digital display setup. The tech content also notes a head-up display and a premium Burmester stereo.
• Fuel efficiency: The E300 is EPA-rated at 22 mpg city and 30 highway, while the E400 coupe is rated at 20/26 and the E400 4Matic wagon at 19/25. The performance notes also mention a real-world average of 29 mpg for the rear-wheel-drive E300 over mostly highway driving and 23 mpg for the E400 over 600 miles.

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 it gives you the core E-Class experience at the lowest price. It uses the 2.0-liter turbo four, and the expert notes suggest it’s the least compelling choice if you want strong acceleration, but it still delivers the luxury, tech, and comfort that define the car.
• E300 4Matic sedan: This adds all-wheel drive to the same basic formula, which can make it the better pick if you want extra traction without moving up to the pricier V6 models. It’s a sensible choice if you value year-round usability more than outright performance.
• E400 coupe: This is the best-value choice if you want the stronger 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and the more distinctive coupe body style. The expert notes call the V6 the best choice, and this trim gives you the more satisfying powertrain without jumping into AMG territory.
• E400 4Matic wagon: This is the most practical body style in the lineup and still gets the stronger V6. If you want cargo flexibility and upscale character in one package, this is the trim to focus on.

Many of the safety and semi-autonomous features are locked into the expensive Premium 3 package, so check equipment carefully before you buy.

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 patiently but still move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,320 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.40% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 58.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,441, 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 $22,441 sits slightly below last year's $24,769.

That price movement suggests the market has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy well. For you as a seller later, the key advantage is that the car is already priced below its prior-year level, so there may be less room for dramatic near-term drops than there was before. Strong condition and documented maintenance should matter a lot, because premium cars tend to reward careful ownership when it’s time to resell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, 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 five-star ratings from NHTSA in the overall evaluation, frontal crash, side crash, and rollover vulnerability tests, and it is rated a Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS.

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

Mercedes equips the E-Class with Car-to-X Communication, Pre-Safe Sound, automatic braking that can detect crossing traffic and people, steering and brake support in certain emergency situations, and adaptive cruise control that can respond to changing speed limits. The safety writeup also notes optional rear side airbags on coupes and sedans, which is a notable extra for this body style. The main caveat is that many of these features are optional rather than standard, and several are bundled into the costly 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:

• 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.40% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary says you get what you pay for, and describes the E-Class as one of the finest luxury cars on the face of the planet.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of luxury, technology, and buyer satisfaction, the 2018 E-Class is the year to target. If your priority is stretching your budget, a nearby model year may offer a lower entry price, but the 2018 still looks appealing because prices have eased and the car’s reputation remains very strong.
