NEXT STAGE: Redesign in 2024

The redesigned midsize sedan, a cornerstone of Mercedes’ U.S. lineup for years, arrives in the first half of 2024 with new styling and the latest version of the MBUX infotainment system. The 11th-generation model will sit on a modified version of the C-Class compact sedan and GLC compact crossover platform. It features a short front overhang, a spacious hood and styling inspired by the brand’s EQ electric lineup. The E 350 variant receives a new 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 255 hp. The base model gets electrified with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and a starter generator integrated into the transmission.

Mercedes will ditch the coupe and convertible body styles with the new generation. AMG variants could arrive in the future.
