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

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers these trims:

• E 450 All-Terrain: The less-expensive wagon model starts at $79,650 and adds a more rugged look, height-adjustable Airmatic air suspension, and technology that can assist with light off-road travel.
• AMG E 53 Hybrid: This performance wagon starts at $94,700 and adds the plug-in hybrid powertrain, AMG-enhanced hardware, and a rapid, road-focused character; it suits you best if you want the quickest and most advanced wagon in the lineup.

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

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class years with the most listings are 2018, 2017, and 2015.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find a well-priced example. They also sit in the part of the lineup where the E-Class still delivers the model’s core luxury, comfort, and technology appeal.

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

Most model years are down year over year, and several recent ones show especially sharp drops. That pattern can work in your favor as a used buyer because it opens up more value in the market. The smaller declines at the low end of the table suggest some older examples are changing more slowly than newer ones.

The 2016, 2015, 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:

• Sweet-spot year: The 2018 model has the most listings at a current average price of $23,427. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers a roomy, upscale cabin with a refined, comfort-first character that has long defined the nameplate.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The latest AMG E 53 Hybrid wagon pairs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with a 120-kilowatt electric motor and a 21.2-kilowatt-hour battery, producing 577 hp and 553 lb-ft and returning 41 miles of electric range plus 22 mpg combined in hybrid mode.
• Tech: The latest model includes a 12.3-inch digital driver display, a 14.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, augmented reality navigation, music streaming, and a Burmester 4D surround-sound system with Dolby Atmos technology.

• Starting price: The AMG E 53 Hybrid has a base price of $94,700.

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.
