Elegant luxury

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 is a handsome vehicle that tends more toward luxury than sport. The interior has premium materials, cushy seats, a classic behind-the-wheel gauge cluster, and an elegant analog clock on the dash. So, if you're looking for something classy as well as comfortable, the E400 is a great place to start. Plus, the 329-hp, biturbo V6 offers smooth acceleration and an estimated 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds. One of the best things about the midsize E400? It comes in more than one flavor: coupe, convertible, or sedan.

5 reasons to buy the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400

1. Coupe and sedan body styles 

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 is one of those rare models that offers several body styles. If you only carry occasional passengers, the coupe is the body style you want. If you carry passengers and want extra comfort, select the sedan. Both are elegantly appointed and offer comfortable amenities to you and your passengers.  

2. Go topless 

If you want a four-season vehicle, why not opt for the rear-wheel-drive, coupe-only convertible? The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 Cabriolet comes with the same sumptuous interior as the coupe and seats four. The acoustic soft top insulates against wind noise, and when you drop the top, the standard Aircap helps deflect interior wind. Look out for the available Airscarf, which offers neck-level heating for cooler days. 

3. Available driver-assistance tech 

If you like to drive, you'll appreciate the minimal level of driver-assist features that are standard on the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400. The primary driver-assist features of this midsize vehicle include a rearview camera, collision prevention assist, and a drowsy-driver alert. However, if you want a few more features, keep an eye out for options such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, 360-degree camera views, and rear cross-traffic alert. 

4. Back seat comfort 

In addition to contoured and comfy seats in every position, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 offers a nice amount of rear head and legroom for adult passengers. So, whether you opt for the four-seat coupe or five-seat sedan, your backseat passengers will travel in style. You'll get an added sense of space for front and rear passengers with the standard panoramic sunroof. 

5. Refined interior 

Fit and finish on the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 is first class. From the aluminum accents and leather upholstery, the interior is a visual and sensory delight with soft and solid touch points in all the right places. If you like details, you'll appreciate things like the beveled edges on the metal dials and the split-open, leather-wrapped armrest. Plus, the relationship-saving heated front seats and dual automatic climate controls are standard.
