The Mercedes-Benz E300 sits in a segment that has been under pressure for years as buyers move to SUVs and crossovers. It remains one of the definitive executive sedans, and the buyers who stay loyal to this body style tend to know exactly what they want. The E300 delivers the full Mercedes experience in a car that still makes a clear argument for the traditional form factor.
Simone reviews the E300 across a variety of Australian driving conditions and finds a car that is accomplished in the ways you expect a Mercedes sedan to be. Refinement is high, the interior is well-appointed and the ride quality on open roads is a genuine strength. City driving is composed and the parking sensors will earn their keep, as they do with any car at this length.
The E300 is for buyers who have decided that a large luxury sedan is the right tool and want German engineering behind that decision. SUV converts will not be won back. For those still committed to the sedan format, this is one of the better versions of that argument available in Australia right now.
