Even against three competitors, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E 300 Sedan rises above the fray, offering excellent torque and a smooth-shifting 9G-TRONIC® 9-speed automatic transmission. Anthem and Green Valley drivers can anticipate upscale features from the E-Class, such as 64-color ambient lighting, a 12.3-inch central display with a touchpad controller, and Car-to-X Communication. Most of those features aren’t even available as options for most luxury sedans on the market.
