In 2024, the E-Class undergoes a significant transformation with fresh exterior and interior updates. The renowned Mercedes-Benz E450 sedan is revamped to usher in a new era, marking a milestone for this iconic vehicle. Some subtle external features suggest enhancements to the engine, complemented by a modernized interior exuding increased luxury and sophistication.

2024 Mercedes-Benz E450: Upgrade

As reported by Forbes, important improvements have been made to the 4- and 6-cylinder mild-hybrid engines. This comes with significant improvements in computing power for the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) communication system.

While the E-Class boasts exceptional design and engineering, the optional MBUX Superscreen Package stands out as the focal point of the driving experience, serving as the control center for Mercedes-Benz's futuristic ventures. This package features a 12.3-inch co-pilot's display and a 14.4-inch central multimedia screen seamlessly integrated into a sleek surface often referred to as The Black Mirror.

The driver's gauge pod is an independent yet harmonious display, set against a glossy black backdrop. Thus, giving the look of a seamless touch-sensitive surface that extends from one side of the dash to the other. It encompasses the full width of the dashboard.

As per SlashGear, discerning the 11th generation from its predecessors at a distance of over 15 feet may challenge all but the most dedicated Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts. The sleek lines effortlessly sweep from the redesigned front grille adorned with tri-point logos, gracefully over the elongated hood and side panels, culminating in a slender light bar at the rear.

Opening the textured door handles, akin to those on the EQE electric sedan, reveals a serene interior characterized by luxurious quilted leather, exposed wood accents, and intricate aluminum patterns. While some elements like the seashell upholstery pattern nod to the nautical theme of the EQ series, the overall design ethos draws inspiration from the opulent styling that defined the GLC SUV.

The seating in the Mercedes-Benz E450 epitomizes the brand's standards of comfort, though initially firmer, requiring a break-in period to achieve optimal softness, including the adjustable headrests. The interior offers ample headroom, legroom, and generous elbow space on the armrests, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing experience within the E-Class.

Despite the added features, the trunk maintains a comparable volume to its predecessor, providing practical storage space for everyday needs.

Driving Experience

In a review by Motor1.com on the Mercedes-Benz E450 driving experience, the essence of luxury in a sedan-particularly focusing on luxury itself-seems to have evolved. Following an extended period with the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E450, which emphasizes comfort over sportiness, it became evident that this model embodies tranquility and rationality.

While the infotainment system may appear complex to many users, there remains a unique quality to the E450, a feature not commonly found outside of similar mid-range Mercedes offerings: a comprehensive approach to the fusion of comfort and luxury. At its core, the new E-Class functions as an efficient, smooth-riding, and quiet commuter vehicle, prioritizing a harmonious blend of refinement and opulence.

In the latest model for 2024, the Mercedes-Benz E450 remains the preferred mid-size sedan within the Mercedes lineup. Known as the W214 model replacing the W213, this version has undergone expansion in all dimensions while retaining a familiar appearance.

It now boasts increased length by one inch, width by 1.1 inches, and height by half an inch, accompanied by a revamped interior that aligns more closely with the design language of the EQ electric vehicle series.

The E450 retains its refined turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, delivering 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, resulting in a noticeable improvement in acceleration to 60 miles per hour compared to its predecessor, although speed is not the primary focus.
