What Do You Want To Know About The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E350?

For the next five days, I’m in possession of a 2024 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic, the tenth generation of E-Class (but the sixth generation to actually use the E-Class moniker). The W214 E-Class is just now starting to hit U.S. dealerships, though I won’t be able to talk driving impressions until March 28th. Until then, I want to know what you want to know about the new E-Class.

As with the previous generation the E350 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 engine, though the new model gets a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Total output is 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, with the integrated starter-generator giving a boost of up to 23 hp and 148 lb-ft. Every E-Class is all-wheel drive now, with torque delivered to the wheels through a 9-speed automatic transmission. Mercedes says the E350 will hit 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, a tenth slower than last year’s AWD car. The E450 continues to use Mercedes’ lovely turbo’d mild-hybrid inline-6.

My test car is nearly fully loaded, coming in at $83,400 against the $63,450 base price (including destination). A lot of the options are cosmetic — the Manufaktur Alpine Grey paint is $1,750, the 21-inch wheels are $3,050, the Digital Light adaptive LED headlights are $990, the Silver Metallic Mixed Fabric center console trim is $150, and the Tonka Brown Nappa leather is $2,990. Going for the Nappa leather forces you into the $800 Leather package, which includes ventilated seats and MB-Tex upper dash trim, both of which are also standalone options.
