The Mercedes-Benz E Class is the executive car that sits between the C Class and the S Class, and for many drivers it's the sweet spot of the range: close to S Class calm on a motorway, in a car that's about 4.95 m long and easier to live with day to day.
It suits anyone who covers real distance. Company car drivers, families who'd rather not buy an SUV, caravan and trailer owners, and anyone who wants a quiet, well-made cabin for a long commute.
The choice is straightforward: saloon or estate, petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid, and trims running Urban Edition, Exclusive and AMG Line, with two 577 bhp AMG versions above them. Browse the rest of the Mercedes-Benz range if you're still narrowing things down.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The current E Class is the sixth generation, on sale in this form since 2024. It's a five-seat executive car built around comfort and refinement rather than sharp handling, and it comes with a three-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty.
Reviewers consistently praise the ride quality, the quietness at motorway speed and the sense of quality inside, and they're just as consistent about the criticism: the screen-led cabin buries functions that used to be buttons, and it takes a while to learn. Boot space runs from 370 litres up to 615 litres depending on which body and powertrain you pick, and the E Class scored five stars in Euro NCAP testing, with 92% for adult occupant protection.
Two bodies, same car underneath. The saloon is the sleeker, slightly lighter-feeling option; the estate trades the boot lid for a tailgate and a much larger load area. Both seat five, both tow up to 2,100 kg braked.
The E Class Saloon is the classic four-door shape, with a boot of 370 to 540 litres depending on version. Choose it if luggage volume matters less than looks and you rarely carry bulky loads.
The E Class Estate adds a fifth door and 460 to 615 litres with the seats up, stretching to as much as 1,830 litres folded. It's the one for dogs, bikes, prams and long-distance family loads.
Because the equipment you'd actually miss is standard across the whole range. Every E Class gets built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless phone charging, a powered tailgate, keyless entry and start, ambient lighting and a wi-fi hotspot.
The safety and assistance kit is standard too: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam, LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors and self-steering parking. Euro NCAP rated it five stars, scoring 87% for safety assist.
On the leasing side, the things worth settling before you order are mileage and towing. A fixed towbar is a factory option on every trim, so it has to be specified with the car rather than added later, and if you tow regularly, tell us early.
Three choices, all automatic: petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid. Mileage and charging access decide it for most people, and our petrol, diesel or electric guide is a useful sanity check.
A 2-litre turbo with 201 bhp, a nine-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. WLTP economy is 40.9 to 43.5 mpg and 0-62 mph takes 7.5 to 7.8 seconds. It's the simplest option: no charging to think about, fine for moderate mileages.
Diesels run from 194 bhp to 362 bhp, automatic, with rear- or all-wheel drive available. WLTP economy reaches 58.9 mpg on the most efficient version and torque tops out at 750 Nm, which is why high-mileage drivers and towers keep picking it.
A 20 to 21.2 kWh battery pairs with a petrol engine for 309 to 577 bhp, automatic, rear- or all-wheel drive. It needs charging to make sense: the best version takes 10-100% in two hours at 11 kW. The boot drops to 370-460 litres. Our electric and hybrid guides cover the tax side.
| Diesel | Petrol | Plug-in hybrid | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boot | 540–615 litres | 540–615 litres | 370–460 litres |
| Power | 194–362 bhp | 201 bhp | 309–577 bhp |
| Seats | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| 0–62 mph | 4.8–7.9 s | 7.5–7.8 s | 3.8–6.6 s |
| Braked towing | 2100 kg | 2100 kg | 2100 kg |
| Economy (WLTP) | 45.6–58.9 mpg | 40.9–43.5 mpg | – |
| Battery | – | – | 20–21.2 kWh |
Every trim is generously equipped, so the decision is about wheels, seats and parking aids rather than basics.
Urban Edition brings 20-inch AMG multispoke alloys in black with a high-sheen rim flange, hard disc navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, artico nappa-look trim on the instrument panel and door beltlines, plus heated front seats, adaptive suspension and part leather. The Urban Edition is currently available from £833.86 a month.
Exclusive swaps to 19-inch multispoke alloys in termolite grey, adds MBUX augmented reality navigation, a panoramic sliding sunroof, active park assist with parktronic and a 360-degree camera, keyless go comfort access, a heated steering wheel and full leather. Air suspension and four-wheel steering become options. The Exclusive is currently available from £912.14 a month. Against the Urban Edition, that is currently £78.29/mo more expensive.
AMG Line goes back to 20-inch AMG multispoke wheels and adds a head-up display and multicontour front seats with massage, along with heated rear seats. Adaptive cruise control and active lane-change assist are options. The AMG Line is currently available from £886.14 a month. Against the Exclusive, that is currently £26.00/mo cheaper. Best value
Above those sit the two performance E Classes, both 577 bhp plug-in hybrids with all-wheel drive.
The AMG is the 577 bhp car, one of the quickest versions in the range. Over Urban Edition it gains MBUX augmented reality navigation, a panoramic sunroof, nappa leather, active park assist with parktronic and 360-degree camera, keyless go comfort access and four-wheel steering. The AMG is currently available from £1,393.42 a month.
An edition of the AMG, with 20-inch AMG five twin-spoke wheels. It adds a heated steering wheel and armrest, a head-up display, massaging front seats and four-zone climate control. The AMG Night Edition is currently available from £1,478.39 a month. Against the AMG, that is currently £84.97/mo more expensive.
If you're weighing up the E Class against the obvious German alternative, the Audi A6 covers much the same ground in saloon and estate form, with a similar mix of engines and a cabin pitched at the same buyer.
