2025 Mercedes-Benz E450
Car and Driver have rated the 2025 Mercedes-Benz E450 in their top 10 best-rated car list for 2025. Here’s why:
• The E450 is a refined mid-size luxury car that offers a very comfortable ride
• Its cabin is particularly quiet at highway speeds
• The inline-six-cylinder engine is powerful and smooth
• It delivers sports-car-like acceleration when needed
• When Car and Driver took the E450 on a test track, they confirmed that it sailed to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and completed the quarter-mile run in 13.0 seconds at 109 mph
Luxury Sedan Expectations
The goal of any luxury sedan is to deliver a warm, luxurious experience and the E450 exceeds this expectation and emerges better than its competition. This is an exceptionally comfortable car that cruises serenely despite road imperfections and the large 21-inch wheels. The supple leather seats are what you’d expect from a luxury brand, and they are most comfortable for your posture.
The E450’s agility makes its handling impressive. It bends into a corner and provides the kind of sporty handling and feedback that luxury sportscars boast.
Economy Combined with Luxury
A full tank of fuel goes far in the E450 which means long pleasurable road trips wherein the time flies by because of the comfort and no need to stop at gas stations. The E450’s 35-mpg result on Car and Driver’s highway fuel-economy test combined with its 17.4-gallon fuel tank means it can cruise for more than 600 miles between fill-ups.
Interior Features
The E450’s cabin features high-end materials that reflect Mercedes-Benz’s attention to detail and polished finish.
Technology
There’s a ton of impressive technology for the tech geeks. You don’t have to take advantage of all of it, but it’s there if you want it, and it does provide extra layers of safety to this car.
Summary
The E450 is a standout winner in the mid-size Mercedes-Benz sedan. It provides the quiet comfort of the larger S-class with the agility and sportiness of an AMG-badged C-class. It’s the right size, has the right mix of attributes, and there’s enough high-tech features to make it as safe as possible., happy, and satisfied no matter how and where you choose to drive it.
