The Mercedes-Benz E350 is the highly functional base-level range in the midsize E-Class lineup. Available as a sedan, coupe, cabriolet and wagon, there's an E350 for almost every need.
What's New for 2014
The face of the E-Class shows off a new look for the 2014, with the option for Luxury or Sport styling. LED headlamps and taillights smooth out the exterior edges. A new start stop system and a bevy of safety technologies are incorporated into the interior.
Choosing Your Mercedes-Benz E350
A 3.5-liter V6 that produces 302 horsepower and earns an EPA city/highway fuel economy rating of 21/30 mpg powers all E350s. It’s calibrated by a smooth seven-speed automatic transmission.
Buyers first choose a body style, and between rear-wheel and all-wheel drive:
Standard features include LED-headlamps and daytime running lamps, Bluetooth streaming, 14-way power seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, wood trim and a leather steering wheel.
But Mercedes-Benz keeps base prices low by placing many features a luxury car buyer expects on the options list. Leather seats, a premium audio system, heated seats and a sunroof will all cost extra.
