How Much Does a 2022 Mercedes-Benz E 400 Cost?
The E-Class lineup starts with the 4-door E250 BlueTEC ($52,725) and E350 ($53,225) models, which can be had in either Luxury or Sport trim for the same price. The Luxury comes with a traditional grille topped by a 3-pointed star ornament, while the Sport gets a firmer suspension and a different grille with a large star set in the middle. All models in this group offer standard features such as LED headlights and taillights, a sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors, a power-adjustable steering wheel, power front seats with memory, synthetic leather upholstery, Bluetooth, the COMAND infotainment system with a knob-based control layout and an 8-speaker audio system with USB connectivity.
Note that the E350 is available as both a sedan and a wagon, but the E250 is only offered as a sedan.
The E400 Hybrid ($59,645) is offered as a sedan in the Sport trim, with most of the same features as the lower-priced models.
Similarly, the E400 sedan ($63,275) is Sport-only, and it includes standard pleasantries such as power-folding mirrors, leather upholstery, a navigation system and 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio.
The E400 coupe and convertible largely share the sedan's features.
The E550 coupe ($60,325) and E550 convertible ($69,545) step up to such perks as 18-inch AMG wheels and an adaptive suspension.
Finally, the E63 AMG ($94,525), offered as either a sedan or a wagon, gets all manner of styling and performance upgrades to complement its fire-breathing twin-turbo V8. The E63 AMG S-Model ($101,525) throws in extra power and torque along with a limited-slip differential.
As for options, the E-Class seems to offer more of them than any other car on the market. Highlights, depending on model and style, include a panoramic sunroof, neck-level heating vents, ear-splitting Bang & Olufsen audio, sport front seats and carbon-ceramic brakes.
