How much does the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class cost?

Prices have softened 8.15% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,002 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class a good car?

Yes — the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

You get multiple body styles, stylish design, and impressive technology, so the E-Class fits you well if you want a premium car that feels special. The trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine and difficult-to-use technology, and the base powertrain can feel less convincing than the rest of the lineup.

With 35.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

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

The E-Class is described as a rock-solid, impeccably built car, and the expert notes also point to a refined, well-executed luxury experience. Its performance notes emphasize a cushy ride, precise handling, and a powertrain lineup that ranges from adequate to genuinely strong depending on trim.

The cost-effectiveness notes also point to a car that can make sense used because depreciation is steep, which can help you buy into a more expensive-feeling car for less. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that higher-end features and options can add complexity and repair exposure as the car ages.

What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

At 67.7% 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 you are considering a higher-trim or heavily optioned example. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the technology and driver-assistance features operate as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base sedan is described as feeling several cuts above other cars in its segment, but the cabin and feature set become much richer as you move up. The sedan, wagon, coupe, and cabriolet each bring different body-style appeal, and the more lavish versions add features like heated armrests, massaging seats, and more elaborate interior materials.
• Powertrain: The 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder is improved, but it is still described as underwhelming for a heavy car. The E450’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 is the stronger choice if you want more effortless everyday performance, while AMG models add much more power and sharper responses.
• Safety package: The Driver Assistance Package adds the semi-automated driving system with steering assist, obstacle avoidance help, lane-change capability, curve slowing, and broader sensing. Forward emergency braking, a driver attention monitor, and blind-spot monitoring are standard, while other driver-assist features are optional.
• Infotainment: The cabin uses two high-resolution digital screens stretching across the dash, and Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto are standard. The system also offers multiple display designs and options, but the technology can be difficult to use.
• Fuel efficiency: Fuel economy is EPA-estimated between 19 and 23 mpg city and 26 to 32 highway, depending on powertrain and body style.

Which 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class trim should I buy?

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is offered in 6 trim levels: E350 sedan, E450 coupe, E450 4Matic wagon, E450 cabriolet, E63 S sedan, E63 S wagon.

Here's the short version:

• E350 sedan: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core E-Class experience at the lowest price. It is the best-value choice if you want the luxury, design, and technology without stretching into the pricier six-cylinder or AMG models.
• E450 coupe: This trim adds the stronger twin-turbo V6 and a more emotional two-door body style. It suits you if you want more power and a more style-forward E-Class, but it costs more than the sedan.
• E450 4Matic wagon: This is the practical pick if you want the V6 with extra cargo versatility. It is a good fit if you value utility without giving up the E-Class’s upscale feel.
• E450 cabriolet: This is the open-air version, and the design is especially appealing with the soft top down. It makes sense if you want the most indulgent, relaxed E-Class experience.
• E63 S sedan: This is the high-performance choice, with extreme power and a much sharper character. It is for you if performance matters more than comfort-first luxury.
• E63 S wagon: This combines the AMG performance formula with wagon utility. It is the most specialized choice if you want maximum speed and practicality in one package.

The Driver Assistance Package is the key safety-package upgrade to look for if you want the most advanced driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

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

• Deal availability: 35.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,002 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.15% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 67.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $29,932, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class's resale value?

The current average of $30,575 sits slightly below last year's $33,289.

That decline suggests the market has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help you as a buyer today. For a future seller, it means the car may continue to lose value, but the pace of that loss can be easier to manage if you buy at the right price.

The E-Class still has broad appeal because it offers luxury, multiple body styles, and strong technology. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class safe?

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA, including frontal, side, and rollover tests.

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

The Driver Assistance Package adds the semi-automated driving system, including steering assist, obstacle avoidance help, lane-change capability, curve slowing, and broad object sensing. Standard safety equipment includes forward emergency braking, a driver attention monitor, and blind-spot monitoring.

The coupe and cabriolet were not tested by IIHS or NHTSA, so the strongest crash-test results apply specifically to the sedan and wagon.

Should I buy a 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2020 if:

• 35.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 67.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.15% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2020 adds a new base engine while keeping the E-Class’s upscale design, technology, and effortless demeanor.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $36,344, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $30,575 average.
• It brings a mid-cycle update to the infotainment system, engines, and exterior styling.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2020 is the smarter buy because prices are softer and inventory is healthy. If you want the newer styling and updated tech, the 2021 is the better path, but you should expect to pay more for it.
