2021 Mercedes E450 4MATIC
In a segment where stalwarts have waged war on one another for decades, with very few interlopers genuinely working their way into the mix, the 2021 Mercedes Benz E-Class has pulled off an impressive feat. In what amounts to a strong mid-cycle refresh, the latest Mercedes E-Class picks up a number of tricks that makes it the best midsize luxury sedan by a country mile.
The E450 4MATIC, gets the most changes out of any variant. Gone is the twin-turbo V6 of yore, in its place a 3.0-liter turbocharged I6 mated to a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. It produces 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, while the electric motor jammed into the equation can produce 21 hp and 184 lb-ft on its own, although its primary goal is improving efficiency by allowing for extended low-load coasting and longer stop-start durations.
No matter the intended purpose, the E450's powertrain is smooth from start to finish. Whether it's coming from the electric motor or the straight-six, there's so much available low-end torque that pulling away from lights or entering a highway feels effortless. Refinement is the name of the game here -- compared to the old twin-turbo V6, the newer I6 sounds better and translates fewer vibrations into the cabin. Its nine-speed automatic is at the top of its game, as well, providing smooth shifts in both directions and having a darned good idea of what gear is needed at what time.
The 2021 E450's interior continues the theme of chill elegance. The E-Class' interior has always been a comfortable place to burn time, with soft and supportive leather seats that provide ample headroom and legroom in both rows, in addition to some high-quality wood trims. The physical controls for the climate control feel expensive with every push, and the entire instrument panel is mounted sufficiently low, making for great forward visibility. Storage isn't half bad, either, with deep door pockets and a capacious under-armrest cubby, although at 13.1 cubic feet, the trunk space leans towards the tinier side, lagging behind the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 while pulling even with the Genesis G80.
Most of the E-Class' interior upgrades involve the tech. A new steering wheel revamps the controls, replacing individual toggles and knobs with a full-capacitive setup that looks slick. It works well enough -- except the volume slider, which is hard to adjust accurately, so I end up reaching for the proper volume knob on the center console to actually control loudness.
