2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 450

The E-Class is Mercedes' executive sedan, and for 2021 it also comes as a coupe, convertible, and wagon, so there's a body style for most tastes. It's a car that feels settled and composed at speed, with a calm, quiet demeanor that makes long highway trips effortless. The ride is smooth and well-damped, absorbing bumps without fuss, though the AMG versions trade some of that comfort for sharper responses. Inside, the cabin is roomy and beautifully put together, with supportive seats and plenty of space for adults in both rows. The E 450 is the one to get if you want the smooth inline-six without jumping up to the AMG E 53, and it still has that calm, refined character the E-Class is known for. Its 3.0L I6 makes 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, backed by a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, so it pulls strongly from low revs and feels effortless on the highway. The E 450 comes as a sedan, coupe, convertible, or wagon, so you pick the body style that fits your life, and the ride stays composed and quiet in any form.
