Even though the E-Class is more eager than ever to take the curvy back road once in awhile, it remains the category’s easy choice for those that prefer making a more stately arrival.
If the status afforded by a luxury car isn’t as important to you as the actual comfort, quality and amenities, you may be happier spending thousands less on one of the well-regarded entries from the competitors.
In addition to a handful of moderate styling tweaks inside and out, the 2007 E-Class lineup gets three new engines, including a cleaner diesel, a more powerful V8 and the first engine developed entirely by Mercedes’ AMG performance division. Other changes include a new no-cost Sport Package and more standard features.
Luxurious, prestigious and dynamic, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has firmly entrenched itself as the definitive mid-size luxury sedan and wagon. Available in rear- and all-wheel-drive layouts, and powered by a diverse engine lineup that’s bookended by a high-mileage diesel engine and a pavement-punishing 507-horsepower AMG V8, the E-Class lineup gets cleaner, sportier and more powerful for 2007, to better compete in what has become one of the most competitive segments in the industry.
Used 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class pricing starts at $5,679 for the E-Class E 350 Sedan 4D, which had a starting MSRP of $51,325 when new. The range-topping 2007 E-Class E 63 AMG Wagon 4D starts at $12,098 today, originally priced from $86,175.

Quiet, comfortable and dignified at highway speeds, Mercedes’ established E-Class remains the quintessential old-money mid-size sedan. However, with a new, more powerful V8 and an energetic Sport Package offered at no charge, the 2007 E-Class lineup is also the sportiest yet. To be sure, we’ve never had as much fun in an E-Class (excepting all AMG models, of course) as we did in the Sport Package-equipped E350 and E550 sedans – and on some tight, winding roads, no less. The seven-speed transmission is nearly transparent in its operation, and a quicker steering ratio provides a more responsive feel. The 2007 models are also notably smoother in stop-and-go driving, thanks to retirement of the grabby electrohydraulic brake system that plagued the E-Class from 2003 to 2006.
Inside the E-Class you’ll find a tasteful mix of leather and wood, comfortable seats and straightforward controls placed within easy reach. Standard burl walnut wood trim and black gauges give way in Sport Package-equipped models to black bird’s-eye maple trim, matte chrome highlights and white gauges. Other changes for 2007 include a new steering wheel, revised climate control panel and a standard equipment list expanded to include a glass sunroof, six-disc CD changer and harman/kardon premium audio system. Wagon models feature a disappearing, rear-facing third-row seat.
At once sleek and elegant, we think the attractive design of the E-Class perfectly communicates its Teutonic luxury mannerisms. Changes for 2007 include a moderately redesigned front end highlighted by a larger grille, plus new wheels, redesigned side mirrors and revised tail lights. Sport Package-equipped models are differentiated by black grille inserts, a lower ride height, dual exhaust outlets and a handful of other tasteful touches.
Keyless Go
Mercedes’ keyless entry and start system makes it possible to knock out all your Saturday morning errands without ever removing the key/transmitter from your pocket.
Sport Package
More than bigger wheels and dual exhaust outlets, the newly available no-charge Sport Package includes a lowered sport suspension that delivers notably livelier handling.
Standard equipment highlights include a harman/kardon premium audio system, in-dash six-disc CD changer, memory front seats, sunroof and a full complement of safety features that includes eight airbags, electronic stability control and Mercedes’ PRE-SAFE system that prepares for an impending accident by tightening the seat belts, adjusting the front seats and closing the windows and sunroof.
Some of the more compelling options include a keyless entry and start system, heated and active-ventilated (cooling) front seats, front and rear parking sensors, panorama sunroof, electronic trunk closer (standard on wagons), navigation system, adaptive headlamps, Bluetooth hands-free telephone connection, voice control and iPod integration.
From the efficient BLUETEC diesel engine to the ferociously powerful 6.3-liter AMG V8, the E-Class’ engine lineup is one of the most dynamic on the planet. All of the engines are mated to a manually selectable seven-speed automatic transmission, except 4MATIC all-wheel-drive models, which get a five-speed automatic. The V8 models feature a sophisticated adjustable air suspension with adaptive dampers to combine a smooth highway ride with firm handling. In addition to a more aggressive suspension, the available Sport Package includes more powerful brakes.

Our Expert Ratings come from hours of both driving and number crunching to make sure that you choose the best car for you. We comprehensively experience and analyze every new SUV, car, truck, or minivan for sale in the U.S. and compare it to its competitors. When all that dust settles, we have our ratings.
We require new ratings every time an all-new vehicle or a new generation of an existing vehicle comes out. Additionally, we reassess those ratings when a new-generation vehicle receives a mid-cycle refresh — basically, sprucing up a car in the middle of its product cycle (typically, around the 2-3 years mark) with a minor facelift, often with updates to features and technology.
Rather than pulling random numbers out of the air or off some meaningless checklist, KBB’s editors rank a vehicle to where it belongs in its class. Before any car earns its KBB rating, it must prove itself to be better (or worse) than the other cars it’s competing against as it tries to get you to spend your money buying or leasing.
Our editors drive and live with a given vehicle. We ask all the right questions about the interior, the exterior, the engine and powertrain, the ride and handling, the features, the comfort, and of course, about the price. Does it serve the purpose for which it was built? (Whether that purpose is commuting efficiently to and from work in the city, keeping your family safe, making you feel like you’ve made it to the top — or that you’re on your way — or making you feel like you’ve finally found just the right partner for your lifestyle.)
We take each vehicle we test through the mundane — parking, lane-changing, backing up, cargo space and loading — as well as the essential — acceleration, braking, handling, interior quiet and comfort, build quality, materials quality, reliability.
