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

Prices have softened 7.11% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

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

The expert rating is 8.33/10.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Technology.

The 2024 E-Class is positioned as a refined midsize luxury sedan with an elegant interior, advanced technology, and mild-hybrid powertrains that support both performance and efficiency. It is especially compelling if you want a car that prioritizes sophistication, comfort, and a high-end tech experience.

The trade-offs are clear: the price is high, fuel economy is not especially strong, and some driving-assistance behaviors can be a little irritating in real-world use.

With 30.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

The 2024 E-Class is described as a refined, well-built luxury sedan with mild-hybrid engines and a comfort-focused driving character. Its powertrain is presented as smooth and capable, and the expert evaluation emphasizes a calm, quiet ride rather than a stressed or overly complex driving experience.

The mild-hybrid setup is designed to help efficiency by reducing the engine’s accessory load and assisting during launch, which supports everyday drivability. The expert evaluation also notes that the car feels composed and soothing on the road, which is a good sign for day-to-day ownership.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a highly optioned luxury sedan can become expensive to own if you need repairs or maintenance on its advanced systems.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and verify that the car’s equipment matches the listing, especially if it has a long option list. A pre-purchase inspection is worth prioritizing on a luxury sedan like this, since the value proposition depends heavily on condition and feature functionality. Pay close attention to the interior, electronics, and any driver-assistance features that may have been added as options.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The E-Class comes in E 350 4Matic and E 450 4Matic models in sedan form, and the base setup leaves many of the most desirable comfort, technology, and safety features in option packages rather than standard equipment.
• 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 of torque. Both use a nine-speed automatic, standard 4Matic 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 not standard.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch digital display and a 14.4-inch center touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, along with a navigation system, Wi-Fi hotspot access, and augmented video technology. The Superscreen Package adds a 12.3-inch passenger display.
• Fuel efficiency: The E 350 is rated at 27 mpg in combined driving, though the expert test observed 23.8 mpg. The mild-hybrid system is intended to help improve fuel economy by easing the engine’s workload.

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:

• Base trim: The E 350 4Matic gives you the core E-Class experience, but many of the standout comfort, technology, and safety features are reserved for option packages, so you may want to verify exactly what’s included on any used example.
• Sweet-spot trim: The E 450 4Matic is the stronger pick if you want more power and a more effortless feel, since it uses the turbocharged inline-six and adds a meaningful performance step up over the four-cylinder model.
• Premium/top trim: The E 450 4Matic is the better choice if you want the most upscale standard powertrain in the lineup, especially when paired with the available technology and comfort upgrades that make the cabin feel fully loaded.

The Driver Assistance Package is the key safety-package upgrade to look for if you want the most complete ADAS setup.

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

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

• Deal availability: 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 866 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.11% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $55,084.90, 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 $55,751 sits slightly below last year's $60,019.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you more negotiating room now than a year ago. If you buy at the right price and keep the car in strong condition, you should be better positioned than a buyer who paid closer to last year’s average. For a future seller, the key will be how well the car’s condition and equipment hold up against a market that has already softened.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class safe?

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Every 2024 E-Class includes numerous safety features, but the full suite of advanced driver assistance systems requires the Driver Assistance Package. That package adds upgraded Pre-Safe pre-collision 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 expert evaluation says the system works well overall, though lane-centering can feel a little unsure on curvy roads and some speed-limit interventions can be intrusive in fast-moving traffic. The lane-keeping assist is described more favorably, with strong intervention when you drift unintentionally.

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:

• 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.11% compared with last year.
• The redesign, upgraded technology, and strong expert verdict matter more to you than chasing the lowest possible price.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned E-Class with its latest tech, refined cabin, and strong expert approval, the 2024 is the one to target. If your priority is saving money, a nearby model year may be worth a look, but you should expect to give up some of the newest design and technology updates.
