The 2025 MERCEDES E<\/strong> arrives in Australia with the quiet confidence of a veteran. This generation trades shock value for polish. The E 300 pairs a 2.0-litre turbo four with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and a nine-speed auto that sends power to the rear wheels. Inside, the MBUX Superscreen lifts the tech without turning the car into a gimmick. The overall vibe is calm, precise and very Mercedes, which is exactly what buyers of a 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> expect.<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n

Pros:<\/strong> supple ride, tidy body control, intuitive MBUX with a crisp Superscreen, roomy second row, 540-litre boot, five-year warranty.<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/strong> high starting price, limited local variants for now, options can snowball, no full electric 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> under the E-Class badge in Australia.<\/p>\n

How Much Does It Cost?<\/h2>\n

The 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> price starts at about $132,000 before on-road costs for the E 300 in Australia. If you want more sting, the AMG E 53 Hybrid lands at $199,900 before costs. That places the 2025 MERCEDES E<\/strong> above an Audi A6<\/strong><\/a> and Genesis G80<\/strong> on ticket, and shoulder to shoulder with the BMW 5 Series<\/strong><\/a>. Budget sensibly for packs such as air suspension and premium audio, because the options list is very persuasive.<\/p>\n

Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n

Read the 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> specs and you will not see fireworks. Drive it and the blend makes sense. The 2.0-litre makes 190 kW and 400 Nm, and the 48-volt system fills in torque to smooth away stop-start jitters and low-speed hesitations. The 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> performance is decisive rather than dramatic, which suits the brief. The 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> interior shows Mercedes at its best: supportive seats with proper adjustment, low highway noise, storage that suits family life and materials that feel built to last. The MBUX Superscreen keeps the driver focused while giving the front passenger their own pane, and the interface responds quickly. It feels like tech that helps rather than nags, which is rare.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/h2>\n

The 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> safety features earn a five-star ANCAP rating for E 200 and E 300. Standard kit includes autonomous emergency braking with junction support, adaptive cruise with lane keeping, an attentive driver monitor, and a centre airbag. Scores are strong for adult and child protection, and the car\u2019s natural quietness reduces fatigue on long trips, which matters in the real world.<\/p>\n

Running Costs<\/h2>\n

Official combined fuel use for the E 300 is 7.2 L\/100 km, helped by the mild-hybrid system in traffic. Mercedes covers the car with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and service intervals are set at 12 months or 25,000 km, which is generous for business users who rack up kilometres. Tyres start at 19 inches, so plan for quality rubber. Want plug-in power? Australia now gets the AMG E 53 Hybrid, which mixes muscle with real electric assistance. Prefer a 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> electric version? The equivalent in Australia is the EQE sedan, which starts from around the mid-$130,000 mark depending on grade. Overseas, E-Class plug-in hybrids such as the E 300e and E 400e offer roughly 97 to 115 km of WLTP electric range, but local availability beyond AMG has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Comparison To Its Competitors<\/h2>\n

Against a BMW 5 Series<\/strong><\/a>, the 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> emphasises composure more than cut and thrust. Steering is calm and accurate, body movements are well damped, and the cabin stays impressively quiet at speed. The Audi A6<\/strong><\/a> undercuts on price and keeps the ergonomics simple, but the 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> technology story feels more cohesive once you settle in. The Genesis G80<\/strong> fights with value and a lush fit-out, yet the MERCEDES E<\/strong> counters with badge equity, a stronger assistance suite and the option of the AMG E 53 Hybrid<\/strong> for those who want serious pace without losing refinement. If you need a full battery option in the same showroom, the EQE sedan<\/strong> covers that base, although it wears a different badge.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Here is the short 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> review in plain English. It is the executive sedan for buyers who care about quiet progress, well-sorted tech and the kind of build that makes everyday driving feel less like a task. The price stings and the local range could expand, but the core package is deeply convincing. If I had to pick a car for a Sydney to Melbourne run, this would be high on the list.<\/p>\n

Rating: 8.7\/10<\/h2>\n

The 2025 Mercedes E<\/strong> blends comfort, technology and ease of use more cleanly than most rivals. A broader engine range or a keener entry point would push it closer to nine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
