MotorTrend Names Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2025 Car of the Year

The annual MotorTrend Car of the Year award honors a standout vehicle, recognizing its performance, luxury, safety, and other impressive features. This year, our team at Keyes European couldn’t be more proud to announce that the Mercedes-Benz E-Class was awarded the coveted Car of the Year title. See why this is the model to watch for when you visit Keyes European for an exciting test drive.

Styling Honor

One of the reasons the Mercedes-Benz E-Class was awarded this title was for its evolved appearance. The experts recognized the unique styling and praised this newest model’s ability to stand out without sacrificing classic Mercedes-Benz looks. You’ll find the Mercedes-Benz E-Class in sedan and station wagon configurations, new nose and tail treatments, scalloped glass headlights, and an LED lightbar with classic tri-star taillights.

Power and Performance

In the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, you’ll find the choice of two impressive engines — backed by generations of Mercedes-Benz driving excellence. A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with mild hybrid drive produces 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. A 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine and permanent magnet mild hybrid setup produces 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. MotorTrend staffers also praised the electric motor-assisted driving experience.

Driver Assistance

Another of this car’s praiseworthy features is the available Driver Assistance Package. Experts highlighted the adaptive cruise control and lane keep functions, which provided an autonomous driving experience that feels almost like a real driver. They were also impressed by the additional safety programs, including automatic emergency braking and lane keep assist.
