How much does the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class cost?

Prices have softened 6.98% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 897 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class a good car?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class earns an 8.33/10 expert rating, and the model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Technology.

The 2024 E-Class is presented as a redesigned midsize luxury sedan that keeps the familiar E-Class identity while adding a more technology-rich cabin and understated styling. It is described as refined, sophisticated, and soothing to drive, with standout ride quality, premium interior materials, and impressive technology.

The trade-offs are clear: high price and poor fuel economy are the main drawbacks, and the driving-assistance systems can be a little irritating in some situations.

With 34.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop carefully rather than rush.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is framed as a polished, well-developed redesign with standard mild-hybrid drivetrains and a strong emphasis on comfort and technology. The expert evaluation also describes the powertrain as smooth and the car as calm and composed in everyday driving.

The performance notes point to a nine-speed automatic, standard 4Matic all-wheel drive, and a mild-hybrid system that helps support efficiency and smooth operation. The cost-effectiveness notes also highlight the car’s technological sophistication as a major part of its value proposition.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a highly complex luxury sedan can be expensive to keep satisfying if you want everything working as intended.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has a heavy option load or advanced driver-assistance equipment. Focus on overall condition, because the E-Class is a technology-rich luxury sedan where neglected features can matter as much as cosmetic wear.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The E-Class comes in E 350 4Matic and E 450 4Matic models in sedan form. The E 350 4Matic is the more accessible choice, while the E 450 4Matic adds more power and is the better fit if you want stronger acceleration.
• Powertrain: The E 350 4Matic uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, while the E 450 4Matic uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder with 375 hp and 369 lb-ft. Both use a nine-speed automatic, standard all-wheel drive, and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system.
• Safety package: The Driver Assistance Package adds 15 technologies, including upgraded Pre-Safe features, Active Emergency Stop Assist, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping, lane-centering, lane-change systems, Automatic Lane Change, Active Speed Limit Assist, and Route-based Speed Adaptation. It is optional, so you should confirm whether a used example has it.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch digital display and a 14.4-inch central touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and the system also supports a Wi-Fi hotspot, navigation with augmented video technology, and over-the-air-style personalization features through saved settings and driver profiles.
• Fuel efficiency: The E 350 is rated at 27 mpg in combined driving, though the test vehicle returned 23.8 mpg in real-world testing.

Which 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class trim should I buy?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is offered in 2 trim levels: E 350 4Matic and E 450 4Matic.

Here's the short version:

• E 350 4Matic: This is the best-value choice if you want the core E-Class experience with strong standard tech, all-wheel drive, and plenty of power for most driving. It delivers the redesigned cabin, the new MBUX system, and the smooth, comfort-first character that defines the car.
• E 450 4Matic: Choose this if you want the stronger engine and quicker acceleration. It adds more performance headroom and suits you best if you expect to spend more time enjoying the car’s power rather than simply cruising in luxury.

The Driver Assistance Package is optional, so check whether a used example includes it if advanced safety tech matters to you.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 897 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.98% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $54,865, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class's resale value?

The current average of $54,865 sits slightly below last year's $58,981.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to help you buy more selectively today. If you’re a future seller, it also means you should expect value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than assuming the model will hold a premium automatically.

Because the E-Class is a high-end, tech-heavy sedan, well-kept examples with desirable options should remain easier to position than neglected ones. If you maintain it carefully and keep the right equipment on board, you’ll be in a better spot when it’s time to sell.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class safe?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Every 2024 E-Class includes numerous safety features, but if you want the full set of advanced driver-assistance systems, you need the optional Driver Assistance Package. That package adds upgraded Pre-Safe features, Active Emergency Stop Assist, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping, lane-centering, lane-change systems, Automatic Lane Change, Active Speed Limit Assist, and Route-based Speed Adaptation.

The system works well overall, though the lane-centering assist can feel a little unsure on curvy roads, and the speed-assist features can be intrusive when traffic is moving faster than posted limits. Those are the main caveats to keep in mind if you’re shopping used.

Should I buy a 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.98% compared with last year.
• The redesign brings a more technology-rich cabin and a refined, soothing driving experience.

The bottom line: If you want the newest E-Class feel with the updated interior, strong tech, and a softer market, the 2024 is the one to target. If you’re more price-sensitive, a nearby older year may be worth considering, but the 2024 gives you the freshest design and the strongest blend of comfort and technology in this comparison.
