The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has long been synonymous with luxury, innovation, and driving excellence. Within this prestigious lineage, the Mercedes-Benz E 300 stands out as a compelling model, seamlessly blending refined performance with cutting-edge technology. This article delves into the key aspects that make the E 300 a desirable choice for discerning drivers.
The Mercedes-Benz E 300 offers a harmonious balance of power and efficiency. While specific performance metrics can vary based on model year and configuration, drivers can generally expect responsive acceleration and a smooth, comfortable ride. The stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.** Fuel economy is also a key consideration for many buyers, and the E 300 typically delivers competitive EPA estimated fuel economy. It’s important to compare the estimated mpg to other vehicles, keeping in mind that actual mileage may vary depending on driving habits, weather conditions, and trip length. Your actual highway mileage will probably be less than the highway estimate.†

Technology plays a pivotal role in the Mercedes-Benz E 300 experience. Features such as advanced navigation, smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and premium audio systems like Burmester® often enhance the driving and passenger experience. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto are products of their respective companies and require compatible devices and data plans. Device and app providers’ terms and privacy statements apply. Apps, content and features are selected solely by their providers. Connection to apps and streaming services may be limited by the device’s network connection. Data usage is routed through device and subject to fees, charges and restrictions in user’s wireless plan. Vehicle’s factory audio/information interface, including navigation, may not be used simultaneously with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. When Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is in use, the steering-wheel voice control button accesses Siri® or Google voice recognition software for voice commands. ¹⁶ Burmester is a registered trademark of Burmester Audiosysteme GmbH, Berlin, Germany.¹⁰
Safety is paramount in every Mercedes-Benz, and the E 300 is no exception. It typically includes a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems designed to enhance safety and provide peace of mind. These systems may include Blind Spot Assist, and other features. Blind Spot Assist is a warning system only and may not prevent all accidents. It should not be used as a substitute for driver awareness. See Operator’s Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.¹⁴ Even the most advanced safety systems may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for system alerts before braking or taking evasive action, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance. See Operator’s Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.¹³
