What Mercedes-Benz E-Class do most buyers choose?

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class years with the most listings are 2018, 2015, and 2019.

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. The steepest drops are concentrated in several newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older examples are falling more slowly. That pattern suggests you can often find meaningful savings without moving all the way to the oldest cars.

The 2016, 2019, and 2025 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Mercedes-Benz E-Class now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine is paired with a 120-kilowatt electric motor and 21.2-kilowatt-hour battery, and the wagon returns an EPA-rated 41 miles of electric range and 22 mpg combined in hybrid mode.
• Tech: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with an augmented reality navigation system and a Burmester 4D surround-sound system with Dolby Atmos technology.
• Safety: The Driver Assistance Package adds 16 additional systems, including adaptive cruise control, active blind-spot monitoring, active lane-change assist, active lane-keep assist, and active steering assist.
• Starting price: The AMG E 53 Hybrid is the performance upgrade, with a base price of $94,700, including destination.

If you're buying used today, the 2018 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
