Mercedes has announced the facelifted E-Class lineup will be priced from $54,250 when it goes on sale in the United States later this year.
Starting with the sedan, the model features a modestly revised exterior with a new grille and slimmer headlights. The car has also been equipped with modified bumpers, restyled taillights and updated wheels.
Mercedes didn’t release detailed specifications, but the E-Class sedan features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment system which now responds to the “Hey Mercedes” keyword. Drivers will also find a new steering wheel, heated front seats and an ambient lighting system with 64 colors. Other standard features include Keyless-Start, Keyless-Go and support for Android Auto / Apple CarPlay.

The model also features an EQ Boost function which can deliver an additional 21 hp (16 kW / 21 PS) and 184 lb-ft (249 Nm) of torque. Thanks to this setup, the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time falls to 4.9 seconds.

Lastly, there’s the $107,500 E 63 S which packs a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 developing 603 hp (450 kW / 611 PS) and 627 lb-ft (849 Nm) of torque.

On the coupe and convertible side of things, the models eschew the four- and eight-cylinder engines. As a result, there are only three options including the E 450, E 450 4MATIC and E 53.
The rear-wheel drive coupe begins at $64,950 while the all-wheel drive variant costs an additional $2,500. Likewise, the E 53 retails for $76,250.
The E-Class Convertible is notably more expensive as the E 450 starts at $71,950 and raises to $74,450 when equipped with all-wheel drive. The AMG variant goes for $82,850 which is a $6,600 premium over the coupe.
Lastly, there’s the new E 450 4MATIC All Terrain which is an off-road inspired wagon with matte black body cladding and an air suspension. It starts at $67,600 which makes it slightly more expensive than the Audi A6 Allroad. Fans can also opt for the E 63 S Wagon which retails for $112,450.
