2020 Mercedes-Benz E 450 Review: Making a Case

Auto123 reviews the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E 450 luxury sedan.

I think vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class model have among the tougher gigs in the North American car market today.

For starters, the E-Class (represented here by the E 450 4Matic) and its brethren/rivals the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Genesis G80 already have a tough go here because they are mid-size sedans. That’s a segment that’s been taking hits to its bottom line for going on a decade now as SUVs and CUVs continue to proliferate. The latter vehicles especially, as they often drive like cars and are almost as efficient and yet can move more people, while providing a roomier interior and a better view out in the process.

The first mid-size sedans to struggle were mainly non-luxury offerings from Ford, Toyota, Mazda and so on; but eventually not even luxury manufactures could ignore which way the wind was blowing.
