Mercedes E350 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The E 350 is the entry point to Mercedes-Benz's midsize E-Class sedan lineup. It is the car that most people mean when they ask what an E-Class costs, but the family above it is large, and a handful of nearby models can quickly pull your budget upward. This page lays out where the E 350 sits among them.

Mercedes-Benz USA lists these prices without model years, so they are shown as current MSRPs. All of them exclude the destination charge, taxes, and dealer fees.

The E 350 Sedan is listed at $65,200. Adding 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the E 350 4MATIC Sedan is listed at $67,700. One step above, the E 450 4MATIC Sedan is listed at $73,700, and the Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid Sedan is listed at $91,100.

The table also includes two wagons. The E 450 4MATIC All-Terrain wagon is listed at $80,000, and the Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid Wagon at $95,200. Neither is an E 350, but they show how the wagon body changes the price compared with the sedans.

The difference between the two is the all-wheel-drive system. Compare the two prices above and you can see what 4MATIC costs on this model. If you live somewhere with snow or regular rain on steep roads, the added traction may be worth it. In a mild climate, the base E 350 may be enough, and the savings are real.

Check Mercedes-Benz USA for the exact equipment included with each, since packages and standard features can be arranged differently between versions.

The E 450 4MATIC sits above the E 350 in the price list, and it is the next logical step for a buyer who wants a stronger drivetrain. Mercedes-Benz USA's page shows the specification for each version, so compare them side by side instead of relying on the name alone. If you were already considering the E 350 4MATIC, price the E 450 4MATIC next to it, because those two are the closest rivals in the lineup.

The AMG E 53 Hybrid is the performance version and carries a clearly higher price than the other sedans. The All-Terrain wagon is aimed at buyers who want extra cargo space and a rugged look, and the AMG E 53 wagon combines performance with a wagon body. These are separate shopping decisions from the E 350, but they are worth knowing about because a dealer may show them to you.

• Destination. Mercedes-Benz adds a destination charge to each new car. Ask the dealer for the amount, since it is not part of the figures above.
• Packages. Premium, driver assistance, and technology packages are priced separately.
• Paint, wheels, and interior. Some colors, wheel designs, and upholstery choices cost extra.
• Taxes and fees. Sales tax, title, registration, and dealer documentation fees depend on your state.
• Dealer pricing. Vehicles in short supply may sell at or above MSRP, and slower sellers may leave room to negotiate.

Luxury sedans are commonly leased as well as purchased. A lease can lower the monthly payment, but you do not own the car at the end of it and mileage limits apply. Ask the dealer to quote both on the same car, and compare the total cost over the time you expect to keep it. Mercedes-Benz Financial Services publishes current offers on its site.

A pre-owned E 350 can cost much less than a new one, and previous model years may differ in design and features. Request the service history, confirm the remaining warranty, and have an authorized Mercedes-Benz service department or independent specialist inspect it. Certified pre-owned programs add a manufacturer-backed warranty, so ask what the coverage includes.

Plan for insurance, scheduled service, tires, fuel, registration, and depreciation. Insurance quotes depend on your location, driving record, and the vehicle. Premium fuel is recommended on many Mercedes-Benz engines, so check the owner's manual or the EPA estimates at fueleconomy.gov for the version you choose.

Build an E 350 on Mercedes-Benz USA's website and see the MSRP with your choices. Then ask an authorized dealer for an itemized written quote that shows the base price, each package, destination, taxes, and fees.
