2025 MERCEDES E CLASS REVIEW - MERCEDES LUXURY IS BACK!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mercedes E450 4MATIC is reviewed as a significant return to form for Mercedes-Benz, offering a deeply luxurious and comfortable driving experience that rivals or surpasses its segment competitors, including the BMW 5 Series. Reviewers praised the buttery smooth 9-speed transmission in Comfort mode, the refined inline-six mild-hybrid powertrain delivering ample, seemingly more than advertised, power, and the exceptionally quiet cabin. While the base suspension is deemed adequate and comfortable, the addition of air suspension is recommended for those seeking the ultimate luxury. Criticisms include the aggressive auto lane change function, the placement of the license plate, fake exhaust tips, and uninspired base wheel designs. The interior's large screens and ambient lighting are noted as impressive, though the intrusive interior camera and lack of physical buttons for certain functions like heated steering are drawbacks. Despite some aesthetic quibbles and the high price point (starting at $83,900 CAD, optioned to $97,300 CAD), the E-Class is lauded for its traditional luxury approach, making it a compelling choice for those prioritizing comfort and refinement over sportiness.
