“Quality build both inside and out, with a reliable naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine that should hopefully provide years of trouble free service. The 2014 model has enough safety features to still feel modern (lane keeping, rear-view camera, blind spot detection) and includes Nav and satellite radio.”
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class receives a major mid-cycle redesign, led by refreshed styling and a much broader standard safety package. It is a substantial update rather than a routine carryover year.
About the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
4th-generation E-Class family (W212/S212 sedan-wagon and C207/A207 coupe-cabriolet), major mid-cycle refresh year.
Mercedes positions the 2014 E-Class as the brand’s do-everything midsize luxury model: comfortable enough for everyday commuting, polished enough for long highway trips, and broad enough to cover efficient diesel and hybrid versions, classic sedans, sleek two-doors, wagons, and full AMG performance models. Its biggest model-level differentiators are Mercedes’ strong safety focus, a wide powertrain spread, and an interior that blends traditional luxury touches with driver-focused technology.
The 2014 lineup ranges from the long-distance E 250 BlueTEC diesel and core V6-powered E 350 to the E 400 Hybrid and twin-turbo V8 E 550. At the top, the E 63 AMG pairs a 550-hp handcrafted V8 with performance all-wheel drive, while the new S-Model raises output to 577 hp. LED headlights, forward collision warning and a driver-drowsiness monitor give the broader range a more modern feel.
What changed, by category
Styling
The full US range receives redesigned front and rear styling, plus standard LED headlights and a broader LED exterior-lighting theme.
Safety
Automatic emergency braking becomes standard across the lineup. Mercedes also adds standard forward collision warning, updates the driver-drowsiness monitor and expands its camera- and radar-based driver-assistance technology.
Tech
Cabin displays and the control layout are updated.
Powertrain
The E 350 BlueTEC diesel is renamed E 250 BlueTEC, and an all-wheel-drive E 250 BlueTEC joins the range. The E 63 AMG gains standard performance all-wheel drive, while a new 577-hp E 63 AMG S-Model sits above the 550-hp version.
