2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review: Smooth and Sensible E 450

To drive the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E 450 is to let the motoring masses know that you have your wits about you. Sensibility reigns supreme in your world, and you aren’t afraid who knows it. No, it’s not especially sexy or exciting, but that’s what an AMG-tuned E-Class is for. Even so, the E 450 is no slouch in its own right, and this version gets its power from one of the most sultry engines around while also benefiting from a mild hybrid electrical system. Fuel savings are marginal, but it serves up shuffleboard levels of smoothness – as if the engine wasn’t enough on its own already. Add in the optional advanced driver aides, and this executive sedan easily counts among the industry’s most impressive cruisers this side of six figures. AutoTrader.ca Road Test Editor Dan Ilika walks through the strengths and weaknesses of Mercedes' tech-laden midsize sedan and why it makes for a logical choice if you're shopping in this segment.
