“Excellent vehicle. Boring silver exterior. MBTex interior and Ash wood paneling uninspiring, especially in all black.”
2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is fully redesigned, marking the start of its sixth generation in the U.S. The sedan and All-Terrain wagon gain new styling, mild-hybrid engines, a more digital interior, and updated underpinnings.
About the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
6th generation (W214/S214), first U.S. model year for the redesigned sedan and redesigned All-Terrain wagon.
Mercedes-Benz positions the E-Class as the brand’s core midsize luxury car: a comfortable, tech-heavy daily driver that blends traditional Mercedes quietness and elegance with a far more digital cabin. In sedan form, it is the benchmark-style executive car for commuting and highway travel. In wagon form, it adds family and cargo flexibility without giving up the upscale feel. The big draw versus rivals is the mix of comfort, polished powertrains, and a very advanced cabin interface.
The E 350 4MATIC is the comfort-focused core sedan, with a mild-hybrid four-cylinder engine, standard all-wheel drive, a 14.4-inch touchscreen, a panoramic glass roof, and a surround-view parking camera. The stronger E 450 4MATIC uses a mild-hybrid inline-six and comes as either a sedan or the more versatile All-Terrain wagon, which adds extra cargo room and light off-pavement ability.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The redesigned E 350 uses a new mild-hybrid turbo four-cylinder, while the E 450 gets an updated mild-hybrid turbo inline-six. E 350 output rises from 273 to 295 lb-ft of torque, and E 450 output rises from 362 to 375 horsepower. Standard all-wheel drive replaces the previous rear-wheel-drive E 350 and E 450 trims in the mainstream U.S. sedan lineup.
Styling
The sedan receives a completely new exterior design. The redesigned All-Terrain wagon carries the same new-generation look with more rugged body trim.
Safety
A new safety structure and an updated foundation for driver-assistance features arrive with the redesign. A surround-view camera and hands-free parking assistance are standard on the E 350 4MATIC and E 450 4MATIC.
Tech
The cabin is overhauled with third-generation MBUX software, larger digital displays, a 14.4-inch central touchscreen, augmented-reality navigation, and Digital Vehicle Key.
Structural
The E-Class moves to a new-generation body and cabin package with a longer wheelbase and revised interior packaging. Both the sedan and All-Terrain wagon are redesigned.

2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
(92 reviews)
“Have had the car 2 months and have had 2 episodes where the electronics failed. The current one (which is still being repaired) would not allow me to start the car. All systems failed. At this writing, I do not know the reason.”
“Electronics are not reliable, need the car for less than two weeks and entire software needed to be updated and drove the car and the entire dashboard went blank while driving.”
