2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 450

The 2019 E-Class is Mercedes-Benz's mid-size luxury lineup, offered as a sedan, wagon, coupe, and convertible. It squares off against the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, and Genesis G80 in the executive sedan segment. The E-Class balances comfort with capability, and the AMG variants deliver serious straight-line performance. Inside, the cabin is hushed and upscale, with generous rear legroom and available wood or carbon-fiber trim. Standard tech includes a 12.3-inch display, Apple CarPlay, and active brake assist, with a host of driver aids available. The E 450 coupe steps up from the E 300's four-cylinder to a punchy V6, and it's the sweet spot for anyone who wants more power without jumping to an AMG. Its 3.0L V6 makes 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, routed through a nine-speed automatic to rear-wheel drive, which makes it quick off the line and relaxed on the highway, returning 23 mpg combined. The standard lowered sport suspension with selective damping keeps body roll in check, so you get a firmer ride than the sedan but sharper cornering.
