The new W214-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class debuted last Spring, and it is lastly on its technique to US dealerships. Mercedes-Benz on Tuesday introduced pricing for the brand new E350 and E450 sedans, and so they’re not low cost. The base E350 4Matic in “Premium” trim prices $63,450 and pricing climbs all the best way as much as $71,800 for the E450 4Matic in “Pinnacle” trim. All in all, it is a bit dearer than its nearest rivals.

Here’s a breakdown for pricing in every trim, together with a $1,150 vacation spot price:

The E350 comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque whereas the E450 will get a 3.0-liter inline-six with 375 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.

The “Pinnacle” trim provides stuff that may most likely be greatest described as “nice to have” however not important. Stuff like a light-up grille and “Active Ambient Lighting with Sound Visualization.” All E-Class fashions now come customary with all-wheel drive, too.

(A rear-drive 530i is cheaper nonetheless, at $58,895.) Without a full spec sheet for the Mercedes, it is exhausting to match them like-for-like, so maybe when equally geared up the Audi and BMW are roughly equal, if not pricier. It’s an identical story with six-cylinder variations of the these mid-size luxurious sedans, too. The beautiful Genesis G80 can be a bit cheaper at $55,560 to start out.

It’s price noting that the brand new 2024 E-Class is dearer than the 2023 mannequin. The outgoing E350 4Matic began at $60,400 and the E450 4Matic costing $66,700. But, the brand new E-Class does pack a ton of technology, together with an optionally available selfie digicam. Can you actually put a value on that?
