“Comfortable, quiet interior. Wondering if I made a mistake not getting the upgraded seats with massage feature. Glad it has buttons for HVAC still.”
2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a quiet carryover with no major product changes from 2022. Its engines, styling, cabin technology, and core safety equipment remain broadly the same.
About the 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
5th-generation E-Class family in the US (W213 sedan/wagon with related C238 coupe and A238 cabriolet), final full model year before the 2024 sedan redesign; coupe and cabriolet end after 2023.
For most shoppers, the 2023 E-Class is Mercedes-Benz's traditional midsize luxury car: quiet, polished, and more focused on comfort and elegant design than flashy drama. Mercedes markets it as an intelligent, beautifully finished car with strong digital tech, advanced safety features, and multiple personalities depending on body style, from classic sedan to wagon, coupe, and cabriolet. Its main draw is the blend of prestige, ride comfort, and effortless power.
The E 350 serves as the straightforward luxury-sedan entry point, pairing a 255-hp turbo four-cylinder with dual 12.3-inch displays, heated front seats, and smartphone integration. The E 450 models bring a smoother 362-hp turbo inline-six with mild-hybrid assist, while all-wheel-drive versions add extra traction and the E 450 coupe and cabriolet emphasize relaxed grand touring.

“Be prepared for unexpected expenses, especially a simple flat tire situation costing $500.”
“Don't do it. Have had it less than a month and the engine failed twice (just stopped dead) and check engine light on but MB mechanics can't find problem. Run flat tire has a defect in the side wall. Trunk hinge broke after opening the trunk exactly three times. Lemon of a car.”
