2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class ratings and reviews

This model year saw a fresh makeover for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class that ups the stakes in this luxury class. The results are eye-catching. The base E 250 has a 195-horsepower, 2.1-liter, four-cylinder engine with a seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. It comes in three trim levels, 14 optional packages with 15 possible configurations including a 350, 550, or 63 AMG versions. There are also four body styles including a Cabriolet, coupe, sedan, and wagon. It ticks off all the boxes with automatic dual-zone front air conditioning, steering wheel memory, cruise control, remote keyless entry, mbrace2 communication, proximity key, three 12V DC power outlets, and auto-locking doors. The automaker pulled out all the stops with wireless phone connectivity, a BeoSound digital signal processor, audio theft deterrent, an eight-speaker sound system, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, internet access, CD/MP3 player, amplifier, weather band radio, and an optional SiriusXM AM/FM/HD/Satellite radio.
