Beneath the Hood: Powertrain Options That Satisfy All Tastes
The 2025 E-Class lineup starts with a familiar—but—improved—set of engine choices. Mercedes-Benz has given each variant more bite, better efficiency, and smarter integration with its 48-volt mild-hybrid system.
-
E 350 4MATIC® – This base model comes equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, it offers a spirited drive with a 0-60 mph time of around 6 seconds—snappy for a sedan this refined.
-
E 450 4MATIC®—For those seeking an extra push, the E 450’s 3.0-liter turbo inline-6 with EQ Boost delivers 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The mild hybrid setup adds an extra kick during acceleration, trimming the 0-60 sprint down to around 4.4 seconds.
Handling: Athletic Yet Composed
One of the 2025 E-Class’s finest accomplishments is how it integrates comfort and sport. The adaptive suspension—available with the AIRMATIC system—is a balm for taking bumps, yet it stiffens when the corners must be carved. Steering is quick and precise, with a pleasant level of road feel to involve the driver. The vehicle does not wallow or feel disconnected, despite being large and also performing a luxury function
Technology-Driven Performance
- EQ Boost not only improves fuel economy but also provides near-instant torque fill, eliminating turbo lag and making acceleration feel electric, even in gas-powered trims.
- Brake energy regeneration and smooth stop-start functions make the system feel seamless, even during aggressive driving.
E-Class AMG: The Next Level (Coming Soon)
While the base E-Class models deliver more than enough performance, Mercedes enthusiasts are already buzzing about the forthcoming AMG E 53 and E 63 S models arriving later this year. The models are said to feature revamped iterations of the hybrid inline-six and twin-turbo V8 engines and potential outputs of more than 500 horsepower. Expect these cars to have performance-tuned air suspension, AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, and menacing styling cues. The E 63 S, for example, should sprint from 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds, putting the E-Class in the super-sedan class.
Everyday Thrills, Everyday Practicality
With plenty of space to move around within, first-class materials, and smooth-as-silk insulation, the E-Class delivers a serene driving experience—until you decide to let loose. It’s a vehicle that knows how you’re feeling. You want to recline in supple leather seats and hear Mozart over the Burmester 4D surround sound system? You’re in. You want to floor it and let the engine sing as you speed along rural roads? It’s ready for that too.
Final Verdict: Still the Benchmark
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz E-Class not only carries on the tradition—it extends it. With sophisticated powertrains, clever handling systems, and only a whiff of adrenaline, this midsize luxury sedan demonstrates that performance doesn’t need to yell to be heard. It whispers. And then growls. Regardless if you’re an executive looking for class or a driver looking for control, the 2025 E-Class gives you a performance experience that’s civilized and thrilling—something of a hard-to-find balance that few sedans approach so well.
An Engineered Experience What Makes It Special
You may quantify horsepower and torque, but it is the feel at the wheel that constitutes performance. Mercedes has calibrated the 2025 E-Class not for brute power but for a delicate, refined type of power.
Turbocharged Efficiency:
The mild-hybrid EQ Boost system doesn’t just help with fuel economy. It also eliminates turbo lag. Acceleration feels linear, almost electric in smoothness. Tap the throttle, and you get an immediate response.
Nine Gears of Perfection:
The 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission is a standout. It’s quick, intelligent, and virtually seamless, whether you’re gliding in Comfort mode or ripping through gears in Sport+.
Balanced Body Dynamics:
This year, Mercedes further optimized the suspension geometry for better weight distribution and control. The result? You feel less body roll in tight corners and more planted stability on high-speed curves.
