Mercedes-Benz E-Class Generations

Each Mercedes-Benz E-Class generation, representing the timeframe between each E-Class redesign, is listed below. Use this list to see which is the most reliable and safest E-Class generation based on iSeeCars' data-driven ratings.

Our methodology

In the market for a slightly used Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but wondering if it offers the latest design enhancements? iSeeCars' team of automotive experts and data scientists compiled the most accurate and comprehensive history of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class's redesign schedule, showing which model year an all-new "vehicle generation" debuted. When a vehicle is redesigned it benefits from the latest design and engineering enhancements, which impacts performance, fuel efficiency, safety, and reliability. iSeeCars' data shows that, on average, newer generations of a model are more powerful, fuel efficient, and reliable than older generations, but not all models follow this pattern. Use the information below to track changes in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and its engine power, fuel efficiency, safety, and iSeeCars' Reliability Ratings across model years/generations. iSeeCars' objective and data-driven Reliability Rating is based on a rigorous analysis of over 312 million vehicles, to calculate each vehicle model's useful lifespan and its ability to last 200,000 miles or more.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a midsize sedan last redesigned in 2024. It is also available as a wagon. The latest generation is powered by a 2.0L engine that makes 255 hp. A 3.0L engine that makes 375 hp is also available. A new Mercedes-Benz E-Class has a starting MSRP of $62,300, and used prices for this generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class range from $65,304 to $81,067.

The previous Mercedes-Benz E-Class generation is a midsize sedan produced from 2017 to 2023. It is also available as a wagon and a coupe. This generation is powered by a 2.0L engine that makes 255 hp and delivers up to 30 mpg. A 3.0L engine that makes 362 hp and offers up to 31 mpg is also available. Used car pricing for this generation ranges from $17,788 to $71,646. This era of Mercedes-Benz E-Class earns an iSeeCars Generations Rating of 9.1.

Our methodology

iSeeCars Generations Rating is calculated based on the latest research from our data science team.

The iSeeCars Generations Rating is an analysis of two factors: reliability and safety. It is calculated for each model generation based on the analysis of over 312 million cars using a proprietary mathematical model that estimated the probability that each vehicle would survive to various mileage thresholds. This survival model was used to calculate the average lifespan of each vehicle generation, which forms the basis of the reliability score. The safety score is based on NHTSA safety ratings.

Vehicles are scored in two categories:

Reliability

The reliability score represents an analysis of iSeeCars' proprietary research on the longest-lasting vehicles.

Safety

The safety score is calculated based on the last five years of crash test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and incorporates the latest Top Safety Pick information from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
