Summary
The Mercedes-Benz E 300 4MATIC W213 (2017) is a luxury sedan acclaimed for its advanced technology, refined interior and efficient 4MATIC system. Experts emphasize the smooth ride, the high quality of the cabin and the modern infotainment system. Although the M274 2.0L turbo four-cylinder engine is rated as capable, some owners have reported problems with oil consumption, piston cracking (mostly in early 2015-2016 models), and camshaft sensor failure, which can lead to ECU damage. The 9G-Tronic transmission is generally smooth, but can exhibit rough shifts in low gears when cold. For buyers looking for luxury, safety and technology, this model remains an attractive choice, with the recommendation to check the engine's maintenance history.
