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

Prices have softened 9.34% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,309 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of cars 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 car’s upscale mission in the overview: you’re shopping this model year less for bargain value and more for the premium experience it delivers.

With 36.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively if you want the right combination of condition, equipment, and price.

Is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

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

Owner feedback points to a car that feels dependable in daily use, with praise centered on the smooth ride, luxurious interior, powerful performance, and advanced features. The expert drive summary also emphasizes how calm, quiet, and refined the car feels on the road, which supports the impression of a trouble-free ownership experience when the car is properly maintained.

At the same time, you should plan for the realities of used luxury ownership: maintenance costs can rise after the warranty period, and minor wear-and-tear issues can show up over time.

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

At 60.7% 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 higher mileage or a long option list. Pay close attention to signs of prior bodywork, interior wear, and whether expensive features still operate as intended. Because this is a premium model, condition matters a lot: a clean, well-kept example is much easier to live with than one that has been neglected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is defined by a VIP-lounge feel with inlaid wood, large high-resolution screens, bright LED mood lighting in 64 colors, and two-tone leather combinations. The coupe adds pillarless styling and powered rear half windows, while the Luxury Line swaps in a classic thin-lined grille and standing hood ornament on sedan and wagon versions. If you want the richest look, that trim-level distinction matters.
• 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 V6 is the stronger choice, and the expert notes that the four-cylinder feels 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, and adaptive cruise control that can recognize changing speed limits. Some of these features are optional, and many are tied to expensive packages.
• Infotainment: The car offers Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a built-in web browser, a head-up display, and a configurable instrument panel. The tech suite is extensive, but some of the most advanced features require costly packaging.
• 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.

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 experience. It gives you the core luxury feel, strong standard tech, and the best fuel economy in the range, so it makes sense if you want the badge and comfort without stretching too far. It’s the best-value trim if you’re focused on keeping purchase price and running costs in check.
• E300 4Matic sedan: Choose this if you want the same basic package as the E300 sedan but prefer all-wheel drive for added traction. It costs more, but it broadens the car’s all-weather usability without changing the E-Class formula.
• E400 coupe: This is the more desirable choice if you want the stronger 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and the coupe body style. The expert calls this engine the best choice, and it suits you if you care more about smooth, confident passing power and a more distinctive look than maximum efficiency.
• E400 4Matic wagon: Pick this if you want the wagon body style with the V6 and all-wheel drive. It’s the most versatile version in the lineup and makes the most sense if you want luxury with extra cargo flexibility.

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

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

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

• Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,309 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.34% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,846, 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 $22,846 sits slightly below last year's $25,199.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may limit upside if you’re thinking about short-term resale. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that pricing discipline matters: if you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you’ll be better positioned when it’s time to sell.

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 five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with five-star ratings in frontal and side crash tests and for rollover vulnerability. It is also rated a Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS with the highest ratings in five crash tests, headlights, and collision-avoidance systems.

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 safety features include Pre-Safe Sound, side-bolster inflation in a side collision, automatic braking that can detect crossing traffic and people, and adaptive cruise control that can recognize changing speed limits. Some of these features are optional, and many are bundled into expensive packages.

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:

• 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.34% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.76/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary says you get a deeply rewarding luxury experience, but you should expect to pay a lot for it.

The bottom line: If you want the most polished blend of comfort, technology, and prestige in this model year, the 2018 E-Class is the right target. If you’re more price-sensitive, shop carefully for a clean, well-maintained example and focus on the trims and option packages that give you the features you actually want, because the best equipment is often concentrated in pricier builds.
